both places are really quite different.... a small group of people from Louisville once (in 2004) tried to create a rival teams feel between the two cities for some strange reason going to a show in Lexington and causing a bunch of problems for the people trying to put on a hardcore show.
Lexington, taking after E-Town, has been both a source and a haven for members of Louisville bands, including former [[National Acrobat]] member [[Phil Stosberg]] and former [[Kodan Armada]] guitarist [[Adam Rains]].

Lexington, KY is a little less than an hour away from downtown Louisville. Several bands from Louisville play there quite a bit and kids in Lexington consider Louisville and Lex to be one in the same because of the short distance.

Lexington, taking after E-Town, has been both a source and a haven for members of Louisville bands, including former National Acrobat member Phil Stosberg and former Kodan Armada guitarist Adam Rains. Interesting fact: Bad Brains singer H.R. lived in Lexington for a brief stint in 1999.
