Main Page
Welcome to the Louisville Hardcore/Punk/Indie Rock History.
This History is a sub-section of Louisville Hardcore.com, which has show listings, some tribute pages to older bands, a flyer archive, and many other things. If you are coming to us from a search engine or a referral, and haven't seen the rest of the site, please check it out.
YOU add what you want to the history... we'll clean up the mess.
The purpose of this History is to catalog the rich past, present, and future of the underground music scenes of Louisville, KY. In the future, we may branch out into other cities, starting with regional places such as Lexington, Evansville, Indianapolis, etc.. But, we'll save that for the future. Before you edit or add any information, please, please, remember to login above (or create an account first). Once you have done that, please head to the Help:Contents page to find out what our recomendations are as far as content and formatting. We ask this to help keep track of who edits what and hold everyone accountable for what they submit. If the admins notice entries with misleading information or slanderous material, we will institute a policy where you will be forced to login to edit or even view the history. Please contact us if you come across bad info.
We have multiple admins here that are the main people adding information, and know their way around. Feel free to contact them from the Contact page if you need further help. Thanks!
- NOTE: TO ANYONE PLANNING ON USING THIS HISTORY ON THEIR OWN SITE, please refer to the Creative Commons License at the bottom of each page. Simply put, you are free to copy this information, but not edit or profit from it if mirrored. Thanks.
