That would be Kentucky, not, um, the other KY
Oldham Performs I See a Darkness for KY Video Store

On June 10, a Sunday, Will Oldham will take the stage of Louisville, Kentucky's Headliner's Music Hall in his Bonnie "Prince" Billy guise to play his classic 1999 album I See a Darkness in its entirety. Joining him will be the same band who played on the album itself (brother Paul Oldham, Bob Arellano, Colin Gagon, Peter Townsend) with the key addition of Chavez/Superwolf/Zwan guitarist Matt Sweeney.

And that's not all!

The concert is a celebration of the tenth anniversary of Wild and Woolly Video, a Louisville video store that "specializes in renting and selling videos and DVDs that are hard-to-find, obscure, or just too weird for the chain stores," according to its website. Other performers at the event include "Saturday Night Live"'s Fred Armisen, Blowfly ("the original dirty rapper!"), comedian Morgan Murphy, and WFPK DJ Woody Chancy.

Tickets to the event are five dollars, and all ticket proceeds will go to Kosair Charities.

To recap: For just FIVE BUCKS, you get to see ALL of I See a Darkness, PLUS the dude who interviewed Cat Power and plays Prince PLUS the guy who did "Shitting on the Dock of the Bay"!

Wow.

Thanks to reader Clint Dever for the tip!
