The Lava House

LAVA-the Louisville Assembly of Vanguard Art A warehouse down a backalley in Germantown (Shelby Pkwy)up against the train tracks. Has been used as an artspace for about half a decade. They did shows of various genres from 2001 to 2004, but were prohibited from further doing so due to noise complaints and fire-code violations.
