Three bands you shouldn’t miss at Pride This Kentuckiana Pride Festival has an all-around solid lineup of local and national bands, but here are three acts that you should make sure to catch there.  —Scott Recker

GRLwood Friday, June 14 The Louisville-based, hook-heavy scream-rock duo is one of the most exciting bands in town, with the ability to blast back and forth in the quiet-loud dynamic, creating a rangy, magnetic sound.

Lung Saturday, June 15 A high-energy drums-and-cello duo from Cincinnati, Lung plays with the raw power of garage rock, but with a unique artistic vision, producing an ominous, punk-leaning sound that is intense and original. Singer Kate Wakefield makes her electric cello sound like a weapon in a John Cale sort of way, while drummer Daisy Caplan’s heavy-handed style matches that energy.

Daya Saturday, June 15 With a smooth, soulful style, Daya makes Billboard-charting bubblegum pop that’s interesting and addicting, with coming-of-age songs that carry some impact.

After Pride Celebration Cookout Sunday, June 16 CHILL Bar Highlands  |  1117 Bardstown Road  |  $5  |  3 p.m.-7 p.m.
All cookout proceeds and donations benefiting Kentuckiana Pride Foundation.
