louisville goth scene?

[manny at telerama.com]

Never heard of anything even remotely goth coming out of Louisville.
Been on Bardstown Rd three times and never saw a goth (saw punx tho).
Louisville alt-music history is very dominated by the indie/mathrock
legacy (Squirrel Bait / King Kong / Slint / Rodan etc), emo/hardcore
(Initial Records / Krazyfest) and alt-country (Freakwater etc). After all\
this time, though, still very poor scene for all ages shows (an attempt
at a Roboto-like space collapsed, it was too large etc), most shows still
happen in bars. Occasional flashes of experimentation (Artswatch gallery
space) but not much overall. Sad to say in spite its somewhat legendary
indierock status, Pittsburgh has a better overall scene in terms of
bands and radio and places to play etc in almost every genre.

Must be something goth hidden there, though. Maybe there's a website
for it?
