A revolution of the dancing sort
Louisville band VHS OR BETA played
Bogart’s over the weekend.

It has been only a year since the release of VHS OR BETA’s Astralwerks debut, Night on Fire. But in that short year, they have seen the result of years of hard work. The band recently completed a European tour and has been noted by Rolling Stone magazine as an "Artist to Watch," and one of the "100 Bands You Need to Know in 2005" by AP.

On Saturday night, VHS OR BETA turned Bogart’s into a dance party like it had never seen before. It is difficult to believe that the band responsible for this blend of ‘70s disco beats, Robert Smith vocals, Japanese noisecore, and ‘90s French house came from our neighbor to the south, Louisville, Ky.


‘The Constant Gardener’ nurtures suspense

"The Constant Gardener" is a thought-provoking new movie from the director of the acclaimed film "City of God."

The film, based on a novel by John Le Carré, is a combination of two of the best movies of the past three years: "City of God" and "Hotel Rwanda." "The Constant Gardener" takes the gritty, high-contrast beauty of "City of God," and the intense, real-world atrocity of "Hotel Rwanda" and creates a striking and haunting film.
