Normally we put our next show here.
There isn't one. So... yeah.
Not dead yet
Published 8/2/2010 1:54:00 PM - NewsWe posted some video from the last show up on the video page. Neat huh?
Also posted a review from the LEO of the last show up on the press page.
That's all for now.
Done
Published 7/19/2010 3:18:00 PM - NewsWelp, the last show is now behind us. If you weren't there you missed the most epic/epically ridiculous performance Yardsale ever put on. In addition to all of your Yardsale favorites, the group played quite a few covers, including "Gin & Juice" with some help from Mr. Jon Free- and not that bullshit bluegrass arrangement the honkys usually do. This was straight up gangsta. For a first encore the group did "Shine" by Collective Soul and, oddly, people still wanted more following that abomination, so the group ended with The Band's "Don't Do It" by request. It was a night to remember, but due to the amount of booze consumed, there's probably going to be a few holes in everyone's memories.
BUT, it was recorded. There might be some kind of live thing in the offing, we'll see. For now, go listen to Knock Alley West and raise a glass to Louisville's Second Most Rootin'-est Tootin'-est band.
Robot incentive
Published 7/8/2010 11:09:00 AM - NewsWe've talked to the Vernon club and came up with the following deal for our last show (July 17): come dressed as a robot and you can get in for $6 instead of $8 or $9. Really - break out the tinfoil and do it up!
Last show
Published 6/2/2010 10:49:00 PM - NewsIt's official - our farewell show will be at the Vernon Club (1575 Story Ave) on July 17. Opening will be the Avery Set and the Young Republic. Doors are at 8:00, show starts at 9:00.
More shows
Published 5/31/2010 11:57:00 AM - NewsYou may have noticed we added a show, June 9 at Skull Alley opening for These United States; if you didn't, this is your notice!
We may also have one more show in July following Forecastle; we will update you as soon as we know. At least you can't say we aren't giving you plenty of chances to catch us.
End of the Line... for now
Published 5/13/2010 2:16:00 PM - NewsWell folks, there's no easy way to say this, so we'll just throw it out there - this summer's Yardsale shows will be our last for the foreseeable future. We've got folks in the band who are getting out of school and moving away, folks moving away to go to school, folks who have never been to school just finding out what it is, and the end result is that we just won't all be in the same time zone at the same time for awhile.
Now, in the past Yardsale has soldiered on through numerous lineup changes - no more. We all feel this is the definitive lineup and there's just no way to replace someone and have it work. Or rather, it just wouldn't be Yardsale without this group of people.
There are other projects on the horizon - Kirk has been playing with Adventure and will continue to; Andrew can be found playing classical guitar up at U of L and also performs with local group Anton Mink; and at some point, some of the guys who remain in the area may very well cook up something new. You'll be the first to know.
So, for those of you who supported us through thick, thin, and medium, thank you very very VERY much. The past couple years have been fantastic, from opening for Scott Miller to playing Live Lunch and everything in between. If you haven't picked up Knock Alley West, please do - we're very proud of it and, we promise, it just gets better with each listen. We hope to see you at the shows we've got left (listed at the end.)
For those of you who haven't seen us in awhile or have been putting it off - this is your last chance. We won't disappoint. And if we do, who cares! You'll just have to deal with it. We have NOTHING TO LOSE!
And of course there are you new fans - must seem weird that we put out an album at the beginning of February and are already "breaking up" - but fear not! As stated, there are a few chances left to catch us, and considering this more of a logistical breakup than anything, there is an extremely good chance we'll get back together in the future if our schedules allow.
Also, a big thanks to Ellen Cherry, Elmer White, and Melanie Dillman for augmenting Yardsale and turning us into a twang rock orchestra. Also thanks to people like Justin Eslinger and Kevin Gibson, who helped us out all along the way, Cassie Doumas for taking photos, Neil Hulsewede for being our part-time steel player, the Sandpaper Dolls, Drew Miller, and Deanna Burnell for their work on the album, and of course Jordan Forst for his engineering know-how and songwriting prowess. Lastly, and not least, thank you to Charlie the Painter, famous and tireless Louisville music promoter, who booked our first shows, gave us our funniest stories, and gave us the best description of our music: "a bluesy, jazzy, truck driver sound." Amen Charlie, Amen.
So once again, thank you all, and we'll see you on the other side.

As if that wasn't enough, can watch a video of "Lost my Mind" fan Sarah Davis filmed here - http://vimeo.com/8620805
Also, PLEASE, email WFPK at studio@wfpk.org and request Yardsale! Any song is fine - "Dream of Amarillo", "Mississippi's Flooding", "Until I Can't Remember", whatever song you dig - get them to play it! You can also call the studio at (502) 814-WFPK (9375). DO IT!

Minor and the Picket Line will be opening things up, before we take the stage for the first ever full performance of Knock Alley West. We will have a few special guests helping us out, so mark your calendar, it's gonna be quite a show.
Also that same day, we will be playing an in-store at Ear X-tacy at 2:00 pm. You know, if you can't wait until that night to get the album and/or you want to see us REALLY up-close.

We hope it was worth the wait.
BIG news
Published 12/11/2009 11:46:00 AM - NewsBefore the big news - for those of you who missed Kirk's WFPK appearance, they have it archived HERE. Kirk performed "Happy In My Misery" (off the new album) and "Until I Can't Remember" got its world broadcast debut. Neat stuff.
But we promised big news, so here it is - the long awaited new album, Knock Alley West is set for release! We will be having a release show in January, as well as some other shows to help promote the album. We'll have full details when we get it all worked out but don't fret - it'll be worth the wait. We will also have pre-order information up here as soon as the CDs are in our hands. Whooooeeeee!
WFPK @ 11:00am
Published 12/8/2009 6:28:00 PM - NewsCheck out www.wfpk.org (or tune to 91.9 on your dial if you're in the Louisville area) at 11:00am tomorrow (12-9-09) for your Yardsale fix.
Acoustic set Sunday
Published 12/2/2009 3:57:00 PM - NewsOkay, so we've been lax on the ol' blog. Between the facebook, the myspace, the twitter, etc. it's hard to keep up with everything!
The acoustic set has been rescheduled for this Sunday, Dec 6 at the Comedy Caravan. We play around 4:00; the whole show starts at 2:00 and also features the Sandpaper Dolls, Danny Flanigan, Justin Lewis, and more. Should be a good time.
We will also be playing Headliners Dec 10 to support SweatFree Louisville. Those of you who caught our last gig at Headliners know the kind of damage we can do with a big stage. The more room to dance, the more rock Yardsale brings.
In the bigger news department - Knock Alley West will finally be available for sell soon! We'll have a pre-order page up in the next week or so. Trust us, it's worth the wait.
Media blitz
Published 11/4/2009 10:46:00 AM - NewsWelp, we got some more press last week, with Kirk being interviewed about the upcoming album for the LEO (Louisville Eccentric Observer.) Check that out here:
http://leoweekly.com/music/b-sides-music-other-ephemera-26
Also, you do not want to miss the shows coming up: Nov 13 we play the best venue in town, the Vernon Club, with two of our favorite local bands, Bad Blood and the Deloreans. The Huckleberry Horns will be in tow, so what are you waffling about?
Nov 19 we'll be playing Skull Alley to help support the Louisville Photographic Alliance, so come out for a good cause!
And last, but not least, we'll be playing our first acoustic set on Nov 22 at the Comedy Caravan. It's a CD release show for a compilation of lullabyes put out by Sonablast Records to benefit the Home of the Innocents. A new mix of Electric Western's "Down Below" is featured on the album, and so we're gonna play all pretty and quiet-like. So not only do we get to show our versatility, we get to benefit yet another great cause. Aren't we a charitable bunch?
Fame?

It's been busy 'round our way and there are no signs of letting up. If you missed the rooftop show at Glassworks shame on you - beautiful scenery, great people, and needless to say, Yardsale + horns = excelente! Check the Shows section because we've got some more coming up in October with the horns and it is something to behold.
We'll also be performing this Saturday, Sept 26, at the Midpoint Music Festival (mpmf.com) in Cincinatti, specifically on the Washington Platform around 11:30 or midnight. You Cinci peeps better make us out-of-towners feel welcome!
BBC show cancelled
Published 8/6/2009 6:42:00 PM - NewsWelp, sorry fellers, but the BBC show for Saturday, August 8 has been cancelled. No fun, as we were looking forward to playing some longer sets with the horn players.
But fear now - Sept 11 we will be playing on the roof of Glassworks with Brett Eugene Ralph's Kentucky Chrome Revue, so it's a guaranteed awesome show.

Silence
Published 6/1/2009 11:31:00 AM - NewsJeeze, where did the time go?
Recording of the new album has been completed. It is being mixed. We hope to have a final mix in the next week or two. Then onto mastering and it's ready to roll! We can't wait for everyone to hear this album, we've been through a lot recording it, including nearly breaking into one unreliable fellow's house, and I have to say, for all of us, the relief at being finished may in fact outweigh our pride in the final product's greatness.
Check out the gig calendar and come out and see us, we'd love the encouragement!
Picnic
Published 3/3/2009 12:03:00 PM - NewsWelp, we recorded this past weekend and the album is 90% finished. Some vocals, some percussion, an accordian, and some special guests need to be done and voila - the next Yardsale album will be in the can. Or on the hard drive. Whatever.
We brought our camera so head over to the photos section to check out some pics of us acting ridiculous, serious, and all manner of moods in between. Tom foolery abounds. We also added photos from January's Phoenix Hill show opening for Scott Miller.
Stay tuned, Bargain Hunters!
Rocks off

Couple shows on the books with another couple to be added soon. Check back soon...
Regime change
Published 1/15/2009 11:30:00 PM - NewsWhere have we been? Just absent from the blog, that's all. We have been busy playing shows as well as gearing up for some recording sessions we hope to start very very soon. The songs are all written, arranged, rehearsed, and ready to roll- we just gotta record them. This album's gonna be a doozie, you better bring an extra pair of undies and some sedatives.
In the meantime, we've got a couple shows- Jan 20 at the BBC on 4th Street, following the Kings of Leon show at the Palace; and Jan 24 at Phoenix Hill, opening for the always amazing Mr. Scott Miller & the Commonwealth. Goddamn. You might need two changes of undies for that show.

Speaking of Skull Alley, we'll be back there this Thursday, Sept 4, with a totally different set, new songs, AND the theme from "The Jeffersons" if you're good.

And speaking of which, we had a blast. Lots of Yardsale virgins had their cherries popped, children danced, and the rain stayed away. Lovely. Big thanks to Gary Jacobs for putting on the shindig, our buddy Kevin for getting us the gig, the incomparable Neil Hulsewede for playing pedal steel with us, and to everyone who gave little ol' us a chance by sticking around and listening.
You also may have noticed the next show- it's at Headliners. Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 day of show. If you want a ticket in advance just shoot us an email at info@yardsaleband.com and we'll make it happen.

The Yardsale train ain't for stragglers, nosiree. We've posted the unmastered versions of five of the seven tracks on myspace. YOWZA.
Now take it to the bridge!
Thrill me
Published 4/12/2008 6:39:00 PM - NewsFirst off, we finally got photos from the Bearnos show up in the Photos section, so check it out if you're not sure what we look like yet.
Secondly, there's talk of some new recordings surfacing soon. We're efficient little ducks, we are.
For reasons completely out of our hands, we're not playing Underground Sounds on April 19 as previously reported by the most reliable of sources, so go find something else to do.
Lordy mama

Head on over to the store and check it out. And even cooler, we have a deal that you can buy the t-shirt AND Electric Western for $11 (+S&H). Doesn't get much cheaper than that, does it?
Don't forget about the Highlands Taproom show, Feb 23, only a couple weeks away. It'll be a good 'un, we promise!
First reviews in
Published 2/1/2008 7:54:00 PM - NewsWe've had two reviews for Electric Western published thus far. One from LEO, HERE and another from Louisville Music News HERE. If you're on the fence about buying EW, take a gander at those!
Bloody fountains
Published 1/14/2008 10:29:00 AM - NewsDespite being a last-second show, Friday night's festivities turned out to be a blast; thank you Deloreans for inviting us out, and thank you audience (except for the guy who booed "Ghostbusters"- to you I still say FUCK YOU) for hollering. For those of you who missed it, Jacob is back, with a cowboy shirt, a harmonica, and a few years worth of pent-up rock.
February 23, as you can see to the top left, is the next show. Opening will be the Uncommon Houseflies, a joke-rock band with some familiar faces in the group. We'll be played two sets following them and it should be a good time, as the Tap Room always is. I mean Christ, we played Robert Plant's "Tall Cool One" the last time we were. Clearly there's something weird happening there.
Holy Christmas!
Published 12/15/2007 5:32:00 PM - NewsWell last night's show was something else. Sweetwater Abilene kicked ass, the Hello Darlins got the room a dancin', and then ol' Yardsale had to mop everyone up. We had plenty of help, with Neil Hulsewede helping us out on steel, Jacob came along to sing "Down Below", "Everybody" and played some hot harmonica on "Cheater Bar Blues", Jordan Forst reprised his hot guitar licks for "Cheater Bar", and then the whole gaggle PLUS Justin Eslinger joined in for a big finale of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." I swear I saw a confederate flag appear. Glorious. There are lots of photos for those of you who wanna see them, in the photo section.
We're gonna be taking some time off to learn up some new songs, as well as fiddle with all these personnel changes. Most exciting is Jacob's return, so watch out for that. In the meantime, have a happy holiday season, get wasted on egg nog, and don't gift and drive. Or something.

Published 11/18/2007 4:48:00 PM - NewsCheck out the live section for a couple recordings from last night's Pour Haus show- you won't regret it. How many bands can (and would dare) play alt.country originals, a Neil Young song, AND a Robert Plant solo song? Big thanks to Ocelots and The Deloreans for playing with us, and of course to friend/producer/auteur Justin Eslinger for playing guitar with us in Andrew's absence. And thanks to Jon Free for singing "The Radio's Blasting" with us. And thanks to all you special people that came out and hollered and called us cute.
Lots of new photos too, so check go take a peek. You might see yourself.

Published 10/22/2007 9:36:00 AM - NewsSo yesterday was Guitar Chris's Yardsale birthday- Underground Sounds' St. Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast was his first show last year, and yesterday's performance was acres better, as were the pancakes. And the crowd. Thanks to the Underground Sounds folks for once again putting on a fun day of free food and free rock, as well as all the other acts who came out to make the day what it was.
Speaking of personnel, yesterday was also the first show for Andrew Rhinehart, who is playing keyboards with us. Fancy schmancy, huh?
Next Saturday (Oct 27) at the Highlands Tap Room, 10:00, Jon Free will be playing his first full show since the demise of Safecracker, so don't miss it! We'll be playing for awhile following him, including a full performance of our new album Electric Western which should be available for purchase within the next week or so.
The first to jump
Published 9/28/2007 10:56:00 AM - NewsIt's almost here. The new album, Electric Western. It's being mastered as we speak. Keep your britches on!
New show, Oct 6 opening for Johnny Berry at Seidenfaden's. We're working for tips so come out and holler and bring singles.
Blinking red
Published 9/21/2007 11:16:00 AM - NewsCheck out the ol' photos section for a new big batch of our smiling, frowning, at-times-constipated-looking faces from the show at the Pour Haus a couple weeks back. We know you like looking at us as much as we do.
The new album is rolling on; recording is completed, a good chunk of the songs are mixed, with the rest to follow shortly. The wait is nearly over Bargain Hunters!
And we have just signed on to play the annual St. Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast at Underground Sounds on Sunday, Oct 21. Last year's was Guitar Chris's first show with the band... my how time (and pancake) flies. So come out and wish Chris a happy Yardsale birthday, and wish anyone whose real birthday it is too. What's stopping you?
Like a knee to the groin
Published 8/6/2007 10:22:00 PM - NewsWelp, the new album is 95% finished. We put some photos up (in the photos section, amazingly enough) of Jacob and Jordan Forst (of Adventure and the Health and Happiness Family Gospel Band fame) working on "Cheater Bar Blues", adding harmonica and guitar respectively.
We've got a couple shows with some great bands coming up next month so check the Shows section and mark your calendars.
Ghosts making breakfast
Published 7/4/2007 10:06:00 AM - NewsRecording moves ahead. Another session or two and it'll be finished. It will be 12 songs. Some of them have been part of the live set for awhile, some for not such a while, and some have never been done. We've got some fancy guests helping us out too, more info when someone compels us to give it.
Huge Yardsale is playing at the Rud Friday, if you missed the little thing in the top left corner there advertising the next show. Getting lazy, are we?
The eagle has landed
Published 6/25/2007 11:44:00 PM - NewsSaturday night was something else. For the first time in two years or more (or less, I dunno) the original lineup of Yardsale played a complete show. "Down Below" (known to you folks who visit the myspace page) was played for the first time, as well as old chestnuts like "Fencepost." This won't be the last time you see ol' Jacob Lee back from the dead, we can promise you that.
And don't worry Guitar Chris fans- he's still with us! That's right, we've come full circle and somehow ended up with more guitar players then we know what to do with, except we know what to do with them all. Mark down July 6 @ the Rud, that's all I'm saying.
How can I still be...
Published 6/21/2007 10:14:00 AM - NewsSaturday, June 23, yes, this Saturday, we are playing at Wick's in the Highlands. You do not, under any circumstances, want to miss this show. Jacob Lee, founding member who was once thought dead, is going to be filling in for Guitar Chris. If rehearsals are any indication (and I'd like to think they are) this is gonna be one hot night. Dangerbird and Scotty Lust & the Two-timers are gonna be filling out the rest of the night. Oh yeah, and it's free. What more do you want?
Shaky accidents
Published 5/21/2007 10:18:00 AM - News'Twas quite a productive weekend. Album 3 is getting closer and closer to completion, with eight songs being completed or just this side of completed, including concert favorites "Kari I Know", "Standing Here" and "Last to Know." Lowell laid down some lovely steel, thanks in no small part to a large cache of Pop Rocks he brought to keep him in the zone; Guitar Chris played some tasty rhythm and lead; Drummer Chris kept us all steady and Kirk earned his keep with some fine bass playing. Once again Justin Eslinger kept the tapes running and the trains on time. We posted pictures in the Photos section.
Speaking of the Photos section, we also put up a boatload of photos from the Headliners show. Check 'em out.
And since we posted it over at myspace, might as well post it here- the tracklisting for the new 30 Years of Yardsale ...minus 26 years is:
1. Holding Hands (MasterYourSound version)
2. Reflection
3. Fencepost
4. Candybar
5. Think Again
6. Snow Is Good
7. Keep In Touch
8. Germany (outtake from Moving in Reverse)
9. Gray Out
10. Everybody (Ends Up Alone)
11. Moving In Reverse (live at the Rustic Frog 2006)
12. Jenny, I Can't Red (live at Headliners 2007)
13. You Drive A Truck
Son of Sam
Published 5/14/2007 11:49:00 AM - NewsLast night was the "big" Headliners show. It wasn't the most organized show we've ever played, but we had a good chunk of people come out to see us (thanks to all of you, especially those of you hollering!) Saw some familiar faces such as Chase Dabney and the Fire Ant fellas, and the sound guy was great and let us patch into the sound board to record our set (pics and Mp3s coming soon!), so all in all, a good time was had by all.
In other news, as album three recording rolls on, we're gonna offer up a CD to tide you peoples over until it's ready:
Encompassing all eras of Yardsale, 30 Years of Yardsale...minus 26 years will have highlights from the first two albums, along with live recordings, demos, and unreleased studio stuff. Yee-haw! We'll only be making a small number and selling them at shows. The first two albums are only available at CDBaby, and one copy of Moving in Reverse remains at Ear X-Tacy, so get them while you can...
Media Update
Published 5/5/2007 5:12:00 PM - NewsSo we finally added some new media for you folks. If you go to the Music page and click "From the Road" you'll notice some new goodies, namely "Jenny, I Can't Red" (that's right, a new song!) from the Rud a couple months back, as well as the seemed-like-a-good-idea-at-the-time song, "Snakes On a Plane" from the Moving In Reverse CD release show. If you click on "Demos" you'll find some real oldies; "Fencepost", written and sung by Jacob Lee and recorded way back in 2004, and the original version of "Holding Hands" from that same year. Just right-click and save-as to get the goodies.
And one more reminder for all you Bargain Hunters - next Sunday is the Headliners show, so come on out and support us (please!)
Socks are optional
Published 5/2/2007 10:45:00 AM - NewsSo we've got this Headliners show coming up soon, on Mother's Day, Sunday May 13. We actually have to sell tickets for $8. A bit high priced, admittedly, but word on the street is they're charging even more at the door.
So, if you're looking for something to do on a Sunday evening and want to hear Yardsale play through a decent sound system for a change, get in touch with us and we'll get a ticket to you. Bring mom out, even, we'll show her a good time. And it's all ages too, so bring the kids. Or if you are a kid, bring yourself. Or something.
We hope to have some surprises, some blasts from the past, all that we can cram into however long the set is. So to get tickets, just email kirk@yardsaleband.com or chrispscott@gmail.com and we'll get things a-rolling.
Blast from the past
Published 4/23/2007 3:06:00 PM - News
Tomorrow (4/24) Think Again is the Power Pop Track of the Day at garageband.com. Weird.
Sponsored by Famous Dave's
Published 4/13/2007 2:54:00 PM - NewsFirst off a big thank you to all who showed up to the Highlands Taproom last night for our set, especially the staff of Famous Dave's. Yardsale is always available for your next corporate event, just shoot us an email.
Also thanks to Goodbye Congregation for putting on a great show and getting us out there to play.
It was an interesting show; Lowell was whisked off to Puerto Rico a day earlier than planned, thus neccesating the yearly Diet Yardsale show (Lo-T free.) A few new songs were played, a few old ones, and a good time was had by all, despite the lack of pedal steel.
Also of note: we are officially sold out of BOTH Yardsale albums. CD Baby still has copies, and I believe there might be a couple left at Ear X-Tacy. There are no plans for doing another run of either album, so get them while you can...
Recording continues
Published 3/25/2007 12:13:00 PM - NewsRecording for the next album continued yesterday, though drummer Chris was out sick with a nasty virus of some sort. Two songs were finished (bringing the count up to three now, yee haw!)- the first to feature Lowell's shiny new pedal steel guitar. Guitar Chris brought his camera and snapped some photos, found in the photos section (crazily enough.) Maybe next time we can get someone outside the band to take photos so Guitar Chris can sneak into some.
We'll be playing a bunch of the new songs at the next show, Thursday April 12 at the Highlands Tap room, so be sure to come out and support us, we'll appreciate it. Goodbye Congregation are coming all the way from Murray, KY to play, and you don't want to miss them.
You should also be sure to leave Easter Eve, April 7 free. Lowell and Kirk will once again be joining some the cream of the crop of Louisville rockers (members of Vrktm, Bad Blood, The Touched, Adventure, The Smacks!! and more) as the Health and Happiness Family Gospel Band, performing gospel music the likes of which you've never heard before. The show starts at 10:00 at Lisa's Oak Street Lounge.
My jeans hurt.
New photos
Published 3/1/2007 8:52:00 PM - NewsForgotten what Yardsale looks like? Check out the photos section for some new pics from last month's Pour Haus set. If you can spot yourself in one of the photos you were either lost, a band member's girlfriend, or in a band featuring one or more members of Yardsale.
holding onto my dear friend
Published 2/18/2007 8:30:00 PM - NewsMight want to pop over to the myspace page - we've posted the first recording from what we hope will be the third Yardsale album. The song, "Down Below," was written and performed by not-quite-deceased Jacob Lee and Kirk, with ol' Justin Eslinger manning the board and mics and whatnots. Plans are afoot for more recording at the tail end of March. Excited yet? Well then at least pretend for our sake, jeeze.
An early clue to the new direction
Published 1/5/2007 10:31:00 AM - NewsFirst off, yowza, thanks to the enthusastic crowd for making last night one of the most enjoyable shows we've done in a long time. Sure, we were sitting down, but that didn't seem to hurt anything. Pulled out some covers, the Byrds/Gram Parsons song "Hickory Wind" and Michael Nesmith's "Propinquity (I've Just Begun to Care)", you know, to keep everyone on their toes. Or something. Might have some recordings posted soon, so check back...
Kibbles
Published 1/4/2007 10:41:00 AM - NewsLittle reminder, we'll be doing our country/acoustic-y thang tonight at the Highlands Tap Room around 10:00. We hope to finally make someone actually cry in his/her beer.
And definitely don't miss the next show on Feb 3 at the Pour Haus. We'll be making up for this acoustic stuff by being extra loud... er... rockin', yeah. And Norust is coming back to help, along with J. Glenn and some familiar faces.
This must be the place
Published 12/12/2006 2:07:00 PM - NewsFirst up- we'll be doing another acoustic show, this time at the Highlands Tap Room on January 4. There's always way more tomfoolery at acoustic shows, you know.
Photos from the OLCH acoustic/electric night o'fun are now up in the photos section. Guitar Chris even got a haircut especially for it!
That's what I want
Published 11/6/2006 1:46:00 PM - NewsCheck out the new Yardsale Store (there's a link in the header too!) Snag both albums, some stickers, and in the future, more goodies.
And we've (well, webmaster genius Jon Culver) also gotten the comments fixed so hopefully thwart spammers, to have at it.
Whoo doggy
Published 11/5/2006 12:57:00 PM - NewsCheck out the photos section for pics from the Underground Sounds show (you know, in case you missed Guitar Chris's big debut). Speaking of Guitar Chris, he is officially kicking ass.
In other news the Pour Haus is a great venue- expect to see us there again. The Ocelots and A Gang of Chargers are both amazing. Short sentences rock.
Hot Rats
Published 10/16/2006 2:16:00 PM - NewsCheck it out: another gig coming up in a couple weeks: October 28 at Underground Sounds. Come see Guitar Chris make his big debut AND eat some pancakes.
That's right. Pancakes. Underground Sounds is having their second annual St. Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast. Other acts scheduled are Elron Hoover (from FL) Ayin, Scotty Lust & the Two Timers, Vampire Squid, Phil Najjar (acoustic), Clint Ackerman (acoustic), and Grotesque Burlesque. So show up at 2:00 with an empty stomach and a hunger for The Rock. And pancakes.
Live till you die
Published 10/12/2006 9:38:00 AM - NewsSo if you haven't noticed we've got a couple new gigs: November 4 at the Pour Haus (formerly Club 21) with Ocelots and A Gang of Chargers; Dec 2 at Old Louisville Coffee House with Newport's own Norust and one other act TBA. For more info, links, etc. check out the Shows page.
We're also excited to announce the arrival of Chris Scott, henceforth known as Guitar Chris, on rhythm guitar. Thus the lineup for the next couple shows should be stable. Maybe. You can find out more about Guitar Chris by checking out his bio.
Also, The Reverend has made contact and is alive and well and on a new mission for the lord. We wish him the best and maybe, one day, all the past and present and future members of Yardsale can join together for some ridiculous performance of an easy classic rock cover that will take little rehearsal.
A promotion
Published 9/25/2006 2:58:00 PM - NewsYardsale has reached a new plateau. At the AIDS Walk yesterday the band was introduced by none other than Dawn Gee of Wave 3. Right-click and save-as the link below (or just click it)
I think it's safe to say that "Louisville's first most rootin'-est tootin'-est band" will be included in every press kit from here on. Justin and Andy from the Touched as well as the fact that Yardsale was the only rock band present made for quite a unique show, sucks for you if you missed it. Thanks to Daniel for having us. Always nice to support a good cause- apparently this was the most successful AIDS Walk yet. I'm not saying there's a connection between Yardsale playing and the Walk's success... just pointing out the facts.
For more info on how much money was raised and how you can donate yourself, check out the AIDS Walk website.
Magical muffins
Published 9/21/2006 9:49:00 AM - NewsFirst things first: THE AIDS WALK IS THIS SUNDAY. We'll be going on around 1:00 and I expect they will be running a tight ship time-wise, so if you wanna see us fight some mean ol' disease, then you should be punctual. It's down by the Belvedere, if that helps any. This should be an interesting set, due to the presence of The Touched's Justin Eslinger and Andy Matter helping out on guitar and drums respectively (drummer Chris is out of town training people how to make BBQ and as previously mentioned, David has dropped off the face of the Earth.) So don't miss out.
More big news coming soon, along with a show or two hopefully. Stay tuned bitches.
Deeeerunk
Published 9/10/2006 8:46:00 PM - NewsFriday was full of surprises... from "Snakes On a Plane" to duel-steel on Hank Williams' "Why Don't You Love Me" and everything in between. Had some help from Justin Eslinger (of Touched, Bad Blood, and Safecracker fame) for a number of songs, as well as Neil Hulsweed providing the steel guitar for the night. It doesn't get much better than that. We're still not sure where David is and pray that the wilds of Charlestown have not swallowed him whole.
Thanks to Foster for asking us to play the show and to everyone that made it out (especially those dancing dwarves!) A good time was had by all. We've added a recording of "Jerry Lee" from the show as well as "Keep In Touch" (from the CD) to our myspace page, so check it out.
Speaking of new recordings, you also might want to check out the media player for some new clips from Moving in Reverse. Once you've heard them, read the reviews, and understand they don't suck, why not buy the CD?
Second review!
Published 9/6/2006 1:34:00 PM - NewsMan, they're just rolling in now. More proof from the folks at LEO that Moving in Reverse is purty darn good.
First review!
Published 9/5/2006 10:16:00 AM - NewsMoving In Reverse has gotten its first review courtesy of Louisville Music News. Check it out here. See? THEY get it. Why don't you?
It's all about Bibble
Published 8/31/2006 9:26:00 AM - NewsIf you weren't there on Saturday (and trust me, we know who wasn't there) you missed out big time. The infamous lost theme to "Snakes On a Plane" was performed for the first and probably last time. Lowell rocked the pedal steel to the point of strings breaking and souls shaking. This shall not be the final acoustic show, with any luck.
Sunday was another Caffeine-free Yardsale show, bringing all four people at Lisa's to their knees.
September 8 is the CD release show, don't forget dammit! Our buddy Neil Hulsweed will be helping us out on pedal steel, and the fine talents of Foster, Dos Bros, and Lee Harvey starting at 9:00 pm. Miss it and miss a special moment in music history.
Let's have a party
Published 8/22/2006 10:09:00 PM - NewsSo the show on Sept 8 has officially been dubbed the CD Release Show. This means more of you have to come out and people should buy the CD. We won't force you, but it is strongly encouraged... if you don't you'll get mean looks (and possibly worse!) from some big ugly thugs we're strategically placing throughout Lisa's.
The Rustic Frog show was an interesting one... David was on safari so the show was done power trio style, traumatizing all the New Albanites.
And don't forget this Saturday is the super special acoustic show at Old Louisville Coffee House. Show starts at 6:00 with Johnny Berry and Goodbye Congregation. And then on top of that Sunday @ Lisa's @ 10:00 pm with Voice of Addiction. We'll be rocking to make up for any possible loss of manliness incurred by the acoustic show. Yardsale's nothing if not burly.
Gigs and gigs and stuff
Published 8/9/2006 5:41:00 PM - NewsWe've been asked to play at the ol' Rustic Frog this Friday night. And we're gonna. 11:30 or later is when we're hitting the stage. And sometime shortly after that we'll be getting thrown off it.
And check out the shows page- we've got a show on August 26 @ Old Louisville Coffee House for you under 21-ers, which we also plan to do (gasp!) acoustically. That's right, we'll be showing our sensitive storyteller side. Or maybe we'll drink too many espressos and rock anyway. You'll just have to come find out.
More shows on the way!
And please please don't forget to buy the new album, Moving in Reverse. Ear X-Tacy's got it now, you can order, you have no excuse. We want everyone to hear our hard work. And if you don't care about us, think about the people that helped us out, like Justin Eslinger, Jordan Forst, and Neil Hulsweed. So check 'er out already!
Goat-people in the mist
Published 7/30/2006 6:48:00 PM - NewsGotta give a big ol' thanks to Norust for having us out on Saturday, lordy mama. I don't think we've ever been treated so nicely by not just the bands, but the venue people, the sound guy, everyone was just amazing. Especially the sound guy.
And can someone explain what people in Cinci eat? There's no fast food anywhere! We managed to find an Arbys, but even that's on the upper-side of fast food. I've never seen a city without golden arches SOMEWHERE.
new album
Published 7/6/2006 10:28:00 AM - NewsFinally, after months of work and waiting and salsa dancing, it's here:
BUY THE NEW YARDSALE CD, MOVING IN REVERSE, AT CD BABY
C'mon, this album has it all: songs about whiskey and TWIX, floods, not one but TWO songs about basements... not to mention the amazing array of different styles. Ferchristsake, there's even pedal steel on one song! What are you waiting for?
Standing on the corner
Published 6/25/2006 1:54:00 PM - NewsGood lord, I hope our hearing returns by next week. Third Street Dive is a great venue- nice, appreciative crowd, clean bathrooms, the works. But man, we were like a lear jet in that place. It was requested that we do a Velvet Underground song, so "Foggy Notion" was played for an indeterminate amount of time (10 minutes? 30 minutes? Who knows?) We'll be up there next Saturday as well, so if you missed it this week, come check it out next week.
Moving in Reverse is finally here! You can pick up a copy at a show, or you can get them from CD Baby in the next week or so (we'll have ordering links handy, don't worry!) And if you haven't gotten a copy of the first album, you can get it AND Moving in Reverse together for $10 if you get them at a show. Can you beat a deal like that?
Okay, enough used-car salesman talk.
Just too darned loud
Published 6/24/2006 12:28:00 PM - NewsA big thankee to everyone that made it out to R Place last night, especially the people at the bar who loved us so much. There was no Skynyrd, but we made due, broke out a brand-new song ("Standing Here") and another that we haven't done since Jacob was in the band (and even then only once or twice, "Not This Time"). And of course we can't forget the Local Villains, who graciously put the shindig together.
There's also a show TONIGHT at Third Street Dive @ 11:30. Kind of last second, but you know, it happens.
FINALLY
Published 6/10/2006 10:31:00 AM - NewsWell here we are with our purty new site. Still working out a few kinks but that's to be expected. You'll notice all kinds of neat stuff, from the ability to comment on news updates to the easier to use photo page to the new audio files and... well, we'll leave you guys to explore everything.
We have to give a massive thanks to Mr. Jon Culver for making this dang thing. Is he the man or what?
Also of interest- in the music section you'll see the front cover and tracklist for the new CD. Ordering info will be available shortly. YEE HAW!
Class dismissed
Published 5/28/2006 4:11:00 PM - NewsGood lord, what a week. The Lil' Bit Country Lil' Bit Rock Tour rolled on and came to a gut-busting conclusion this week. Despite Mother Nature trying to scare people away with some crazy lightening and torrential downpours, the Gerstle's show went very well, thanks in no small part to some overly-excited audience members screaming bloody murder. David brought the keyboard to play a couple songs from the soon-to-be- released Moving in Reverse and Lowell brought the pedal steel. Needless to say, the sound guy was thrilled. Thanks to each and every one of you who came out and to Mantle Retractor for kicking things off.
Saturday we almost lost Chris in the wilderness of Indiana. Once the search party found him unharmed, we played a show across the pond in New Albany at the Rustic Frog for breast cancer awareness. As those of you at the show heard, a great many people seemed to be under the impression that the show was a benefit for breast cancer. We set them straight by explaining that breast cancer was bad and not something you should be donating money to support.
Then, as if that wasn't enough, right after the Frog show we went back over the bridge to the Third St. Dive (which is anything but a dive) to play another set, capping off the first real tour in a long time. So a big thanks to everyone who made playing so much fun as well as to all the bands that refrained from kicking our asses. We're gonna take a little breather, but don't worry, we've got a few more shows in the pipeline along with the new website AND the new album, so there's no slowing this train down.
I don't believe you
Published 5/14/2006 8:52:00 PM - NewsWow, what a couple of shows. First off, thanks to Scaramouch and Ben Purdom (and the rest of A Gang of Charges) for bringing the rock on Thursday. Lisa's PA was acting up, cutting out completely during the debut performance of "Water & Gasoline," which might be the universe's denouncement of that song, I dunno.
Saturday's show at the Bulldog Cafe was even better. Ocelots started things out right (alebit short, thanks to some ridiculous scheduling snafus) with some grade-A rock. A few hours later, coming out of retirement, Louisville's legendary Charlie the Painter introduced Yardsale (you know, us!), who proceeded to play a heaping dose of country to the completely uninteresting patrons. The presence of Lowell's new pedal steel guitar further rammed the point home. Another new song, "Last to Know" was debuted, but even more exciting (for us anyway!) was Jon Free singing "The Radio is Blasting" with the band. So thanks to Jon for braving the Bulldog and helping us out.
The new album, Moving in Reverse, is on its way- be prepared!
Tears that angels cry
Published 4/21/2006 9:40:00 AM - NewsGerstle's, what a place. Despite some overzealous fans screaming for Chris to take off various articles of clothing, the show was a resounding success, thanks in no small part to Mantle Retractor and the people who came out to drink and scream and all that good stuff.
Giddyup
Published 3/11/2006 7:30:00 PM - NewsHas it really been a month since the last update? Weird.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who showed up and hollered so enthusiastically; and an extra thanks to Jimmy for opening up. Our buddy Neil sat in on pedal steel for the second half of the set, adding some extra twang to the likes of "Candybar," "Everybody," and "Jerry Lee" as well as making it possible to pull of "Okie from Muskogee." Frankly, it doesn't get any better than that. The only way to top this would be to clone us so we can all play two instruments and once and add a bunch of goofy percussion. Or something. Whatever.
[update 3-15] We've added some pictures from the show thanks to Alan Fairchild- check those out here
In Album 2 news, it's done. Yep. We narrowed it down to 13 songs, sequenced and ready to be mastered. Exciting, innit?
Your momma's a llama
Published 2/6/2006 10:40:00 AM - NewsMy how the time flies. Must be all the caffeine. Anywho, as you can see there is a gig set for March 11 (we like to give you guys plenty of time to plan!) a return to the fabled Oak St. Lounge. Last time there was a Yardsale show there, it was with good 'ol Charlie the Painter, who treated the crowd to a rousing performance of Eamon's "Fuck You I Don't Want You Back." Lowell was on one of his fabled quests, making for the first Diet Yardsale show, complete with "You Drive a Truck," harmonica, and fuzz bass. Good times indeed.
So what's been happening in the last month? Lotsa recording going on. The final song count is 19, with five left to be mixed. There's loud songs, soft songs, country songs, rock songs, songs with cats in the background, songs with triangles, songs about monkeys, songs about love, songs about love and monkeys... just the whole spectrum, really. Then comes the arduous task of picking the good from the bad from the pathetic, designing artwork, titling the thing, etc. etc. Have a suggestion? Email it.
I hear you knocking
Published 1/20/2006 10:41:00 AM - NewsHave to give a big thank you to Rob, Paul, and Scaramouch for playing with us last night (and making us bring our A game!), as well thank those of you who showed up (on a school night, no less!) Some old school action in the form of "When You Open Your Eyes" and the "Candybar/Think Again" medley cropped up, stickers were given out by the handful, and the rock was successfully brought.
There are also some pictures from the show (thanks Gerri!) to be found in the photo gallery.
More shows on the horizon. Keep checking back (or join the mailing list).
Sweet lordamighty!
Published 1/7/2006 10:44:00 AM - NewsIf you look to your right, the view is not very inspiring. But if you look to your left... you'll see there is a show at the Rudyard Kipling on Thursday, January 19. Show should get started around 9:30.
Also, Indie-Music.com has reviewed the Yardsale CD- you can check it out on their site or the archived copy on our site. Are you enticed enough to buy it yet?
