Coupler
Auf wiedersehen, 2012. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out! We're kidding. Seriously, you were a great year — at least, if you only count, like, concerts that The Spin attended and forget about the whole mass-fiscal-election-anticlimactic-apocalypse-cliff malarkey. This was a great year for shows big and small, and a year that was not so great for, well, just about everything else. But that made The Spin's visit to local house-show spot Richland Ballroom to see Ancient Ocean, Lee Noble, Stephen Molyneux and Coupler (for what looks to be their last house show ever) all the more special. Unfortunately, we came to find out John Bohannon (aka Ancient Ocean) had some car troubles in Louisville and wouldn't be able to make it down for the evening. Definitely a bummer. But sitting in a living room with wonderfully talented people making wonderfully intimate music puts everything — the good, the bad, the ugly — into perspective. It even makes the stodgy old Spin appreciate what an amazing music community we get to be a part of every single day.
