Looking for an all ages music venue in Louisville?

Hanging around the shop (working) I hear a lot of the local musicians talk about the venues that they have been playing at on the weekends, lots of taverns, pubs, bars, eateries, as well as staples of Louisville like Pheonix Hill, Jim Porters, Stevie Rays, and a lot of other music venues that offer drink and things of that nature that, unfortunately for the youngsters, and even the older teens, ensure that a lot of people that come through our doors will not get to see these bands.

A lot of times it seems as if the under 21 crowd has to wait for a school or church to throw some type of Battle Of The Bands for one of their festivals to have a chance to see a number of people, as well as people their age, play music.

Some of you may already know about this place, it's been open for a period of time here in Louisville but I felt that it warranted it's own post in the Mom's Music Blog because we love the fact that this has been started and maintained in the wonderful city of Louisville Kentucky.

Skull Alley

That's right, Skull Alley. It's not just a witty catchy name! It's an all ages venue that caters to bands containing members of all ages. Although various genres of bands have played there indie rock, punk, hardcore, some of the harder styles, and folky acoustic stuff seems to be the bulk of what happens in the building.

HOWEVER, that's NOT ALL Skull Alley does...

They have had poetry slams, hip hop bands, art openings, workshops and how-to clinics, they sell records, books and zines, they have a snack bar, a few different groups use the space for meetings and events. YOU can rent the space and have an event there....

Basically Skull Alley is the new black, if you are pickin' up what I'm puttin' down. Concert prices range from $2 to $12 or so, depending on the line up. Such a laid back place. I think you'll be pleased....
