Love Jones' unique pop style can turn any space into a smoky little cocktail lounge in a matter of moments... just add your beverage of choice and bring your dancing shoes. Straight out of Louisville, KY, took Los Angeles by storm in 1992, brimming with self-confidence (and various distilled spirits). Love Jones continues to win fans across the nation with its high-energy live shows, a wild hybrid of Rat Pack cool, R&B revue and punk attitude. Two gloriously eclectic pop/lounge concoctions followed. Here's to the Losers was the first release of a wave of lounge-style bands that the press dubbed the "Cocktail Nation." The band's second album, Powerful Pain Relief emphasized the band's R&B influences, with nods to Earth Wind and Fire, Al Green, and Chic.

In addition to their recording work and live performances, Love Jones appeared in the Miramax film, Since You've Been Gone, starring Teri Hatcher and Cineville's French Exit, starring Jonathan Silverman. Their music can also be heard in the Miramax cult hit Swingers and BMG Films' The Pompatous of Love. For more information on Love Jones visit www.lovejones.info.

In 2000 Johnny Berry moved to Louisville, playing bluegrass music to smallish crowds on weekday nights fueling his passion for performing. He started a band called Johnny B and the Honky Tonk Revival with Steve Cooley and Andy Brown. In 2004 he changed the name to Johnny Berry & the Outliers. 2005 brought their first album Shoot! Darn! Yeah! to people’s ears. The response has been wonderful! Now it’s 2006 and the group has a second record Fegenbush Farm which will be remembered fondly by all those involved with making it. It’s a country record so true and pure; one you thought wasn’t made anymore. For more information on Johnny Berry and the Outliers visit www.johnnyberrymusic.com.

Spawned in a highlands basement, this little fish wiggled its way into a band over the course of a year. Four folks, two dogs, and two cats gather weekly to delight in the innocent clanging of musical instruments. Since one member is 45, one is 35, and one 25, they considered calling themselves the Decades. Each member brings his/her own musical history to the experience. Self-described indie-punk band you can read more about Minnow at www.myspace.com/minnowrock.

King Kong was founded by Ethan Buckler in the late eighties after his departure from the band Slint. King Kong has been through many incarnations.

The band recently release its album, "Buncha Beans." To listen to sample music and learn more about King Kong visit www.myspace.com/kingkonglouisville.
