Yardsale, the self-proclaimed second most rootin’-est,
tootin’-est band in Louisville, lives by a simple philosophy: the
more things change, the more they get different. Through three
wildly diverse albums (2005's Yardsale, 2006's Moving in Reverse
and 2007's Electric Western), the band evolved - until
one day they looked up from their western wear and realized they had
not only broken the Olympic record for late-night tacos devoured,
but had also created a cool new, alt-country-meets-pop sound - the
kind of sound one might hear if Gram Parsons fronted the
Heartbreakers. On the strength of live favorites such as the
stomping country sound of "Dream of Amarillo" and the heartfelt
ballad "While She Sleeps," Yardsale continues to raise the bar and
raise the roof in venues in and around Louisville, and in 2008
released a live EP, Yardsale This Week. So what’s next?
Regional touring, followed by undisputed rock 'n' roll legend
status. Or at least another beer.
