ALVVAYS
1:45 to 2:30 p.m. Friday, Boom Stage This Toronto five-piece indie rock act put out my favorite release of 2014 with its self-titled debut. It’s a bit of a shame they’re one of the first bands to take the stage at the three-day festival, but if you have a Friday ticket, plan to get there early and check out the wonderful vocal-guitar interplay of Alvvays. Molly Rankin doesn’t have voice that wows, but she’s a standout vocalist, giving these pop gems just the treatment they need. What’s best, many of the songs go somewhere the listener doesn’t expect, like there are two or three great one-minute songs wrapped into one.

DESAPARECIDOS
3 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Mast Stage Conor Oberst is best known — famous, you could say in some circles — for leading his prolific, sensitive indie rock collective Bright Eyes. More than a decade ago, Oberst took on Desaparecidos, put out an acclaimed album, and then shuttered the side gig to concentrate on his main band. In 2015, Desaparecidos re-emerged with “Payola” and proved it hasn’t lost its edge. Desaparecidos deals more in politics and chaos than Bright Eyes, and I’m looking for an ampedup set at Forecastle.

Louisville’s Forecastle Festival fosters love of local music By ELIZABETH BEILMAN elizabeth.beilman@newsandtribune.com OUISVILLE — In a country not wanting for music festivals — the United States has more than 200 — it can be difficult to shine. And while many festivals may be striving to grow with every passing year, that’s not exactly the goal for the Forecastle Festival in Louisville. “I think the community of Louisville — the business community and the music community — has always been super supportive of the festival, and I think it’s one of the things that really makes Forecastle stands apart from other festivals our size,” Holly Weyler McKnight, spokeswoman for Forecastle, said. Local beer, local bourbon, local business support and of course, local music. That includes Southern Indiana. New Albany’s own Houndmouth, following two past Forecastle performances and its explosive album release of “Little Neon Limelight” this year that NPR called “shaggy, swinging, big-screen storytelling,” the band is returning this year. The four-person Americana folk band will be headlining the Boom Stage, the second-largest, on Friday night. That’s a long way up from their Forecastle debut in 2012 when they were one of the last artists listed on the bill for the smallest of four stages, Weyler McKnight said. Fast forward to 2015, and people around here can’t seem to get enough of them. “They sold out the Brown [Theatre] I think much quicker than anyone anticipated,” she said of a concert earlier this year. And Weyler McKnight said that Houndmouth tops her list of bands she’s most excited to see at Forecastle this year. “They sound beautiful, and they look good, and they’re just really the whole package,” she said. Local bands joining Houndmouth at Forecastle include Louisville’s My Morning Jacket and Cage the Elephant of Bowling Green, Ky. Weyler McKnight attributes Louisville’s love of local music

This energy trade will add to the already environmentally-conscious festival that recycles, composts and fuels generators with biodiesel.

The Forecastle Foundation is dedicated to rehabilitating and preserving 12 of the most ecologically diverse and endangered “hot spots” on the planet. Every ticket purchased donates $1 to the foundation. Another new green partnership Forecastle has this year is with Heine Brothers Coffee, which has debuted its Kentucky Dream coffee variety. For every bag sold, available at the festival and all 13 Heine Brothers locations, the Forecastle Foundation will receive $5 dedicated specifically to Kentucky projects. Kentucky Dream will be available year-round. “If you’re from Louisville, you know that Heine Brothers is an extremely responsible corporate citizen,” Weyler McKnight said.

THE WAR ON DRUGS
7 to 8:15 p.m. Saturday, Mast Stage Following former bandmate Kurt Vile’s 2013 Forecastle appearance is a perfect set time for Adam Granduciel to showcase his dreamy rock offerings.

Expect a big crowd to hear songs of 2014’s critically acclaimed “Lost in the Dream.”

Literacy project uses retired newspaper racks Repurposed newspaper racks to transform into little free libraries SOUTHERN INDIANA — A community literacy project using retired newspaper racks will kick off Saturday in New Albany at the annual Monarch Celebration. The News and Tribune, the Arts Council of Southern Indiana and naming sponsor Schmitt Furniture are launching an initiative to repurpose newspaper distribution boxes into little free libraries that will be placed throughout neighborhoods and downtowns in Clark and Floyd counties. All 24 boxes will be designed and/ or created by local artists, schools and community associations, as well as other organizations, to improve the aesthetics of the community and encourage literacy and art in Southern Indiana. Potential creators will submit a design based on parameters set by the Arts Council. Each participant will be provided with a stipend, box and guidelines for the creation, as well as a site for the work. The public will be able to take a book and leave a book through this program. Items can be dropped off at the Arts Council, 820 E. Market St., New Albany, and the News and
