You got me. I’m a sucker for music venues. Headliners Music Hall off of Lexington Road is another fantastic joint that makes me nostalgic for adolescent days like a bad episode of The O.C.

Cougar Express

The place can probably only fit 500 people max but somehow still manages to pull some great bands. On this night in particular, I was lucky enough to catch another performance by my new found favorite local band Cougar Express. I’m telling you guys, this band is gonna make it big some day. I think they also kind of remind me a little bit of the band Stillwater from Almost Famous for you movie buffs out there.

The Donkeys

The second band we got to see were The Donkeys. I can only describe them in two words, electronic folk. Pretty much captivates the Kentucky spirit in today’s modern era of music. Unfortunately they’re from Cali.

Craig Finn of The Hold Steady

Finally we got to see what we came for, The Hold Steady. This band has so much energy even a non-smoker will need a cig after the show. The lead vocalist Craig Finn gives it his all for the entire performance. If you’re into indie music you must check these guys out.

Me and some of the bros having a good time on the smoker's patio. Don't worry, I'm not into cancer sticks!

There’s even a little patio outside for the people who need some death sticks every couple of hours. Its a good spot to hang out with some of the band members if you time it right.
