The LP Questionnaire - Wax Fang

Louisville Luminaries Week comes to an end with a bang, not a whimper, as Wax Fang takes on The LP Questionnaire. The band, comprised of three charming young men, is one of the few acts I've seen recently that a) actually made me like music again and b) I could tolerate seeing multiple times. Scott Carney (a genius songwriter with a unique voice), Kevin Ratterman (the former Elliott drummer who could give Patrick Hallahan a run for his money) and Jake Heustis (the second cutest bass player in Kentucky) recently released their debut record La La Land. They're performing tomorrow night at Headliners and run run run, I say, to check them out.

Without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, Wax Fang...
