The site of Louisville's first "Punk house". This place was home to some of the earliest East End art-school punks (Louisville School Of Art), and the meeting place for those kids and the South end hardcore types like the Abromavage brothers at a Babylon Dance Band show.

We have mirrored an article from a Freakwater tribute page which discusses the house, it's inhabitants, and some goings-on in greater detail. The article is entitled A Brief History of Louisville Music As It Pertains to Freakwater

The site was a rental house next to an old movie theatre which turned into The Brycc House in the far future. The house itself was torn down to make way for a Taco Bell, which still stands today and many Highlands punk/hardcore kids frequent.

[I'll do a more thorough edit later, but first I'll clean up the lists below. --maxson]

People to live there: [A non-inclusive listing: band-related people in roughly chronological order]

At its most packed, in 1980, 7 people and 4 bands called the place home. Tari lived in the front room, her brother Jimi had the middle room, I slept on the floor of the livingroom, Fret had the little room, Cathy & her French boyfriend lived in the cellar and Kit shared the upstairs bathroom with the Dickbrain's drum kit, sleeping in the tub. I think a member or two of Circle X resided there in 1981 (I was out of town, so I can't speak with authority.

Bands to practice there:
