A handful of times in my life, I’ve experienced a very specific phenomenon. At an underpopulated, small bar. Usually a dive. Often it’s a weeknight. A band climbs onstage. They get up and get down. No one particularly knew what to expect, but something is extremely clear-

This band is absolutely incredible.

Far greater than you expected. Much better than is necessary. You are the benefactor of a sudden embarrassment of riches. In on a secret, and if you really care about music, you cannot keep it. 

The world needs you to hear The Vallures.

If you’re in Louisville, see them this Saturday at Meta. 10 PM, 3 bucks at the door. If you love Soul Music, you must go.
