Kink Ador is just darling - and talented. Based in Nashville, TN they are fronted by lead vocalist, bass player, and trumpeter Sharon Koltick, and backed by guitar player, Nicklas Hamilton, and drummer Pearce Harrison. Their sound is described as intense, sexy and straight up rock. They've been winning contests and contracts and the hearts of audiences since 2009. Catch them while they're still playing smaller (yet excellent) venues.

The Wanton Looks with The Sonnets, and Hotel War
Thursday, July 12, 2012
The Historic Melody Inn
3826 N. Illinois Street - doors 9:00, show 10:00, $5. 21+,
It promises to be a hot and sweaty night - in a good way, at the Melody Inn. The Wanton Looks is a Chicago quartet, and not in the way you think of a quartet. These women rock. Hard. They released their eponymous album earlier this year. They've been playing live for hundreds of gigs and have sharpened their sound with each show. Traci Trouble, Meg Thomas, Inga Olson and Susie Q. Winn combine punk sensibilities with a metal band attitude. Rumor has it that they will break your hearts with their punk dynamic, stage chemistry, and passion. If it all gets to be too much you can always go light up a cigarette in the Melody's Smoker's Garden.
They will be joined by Chicago's The Sonnets, and Nashville's Hotel War. Ironically the Hotel War trio (Justin Nash, Curt Apwisch, and Brandon Fisher) all grew up in Dayton, OH. This will be their first time touring in Indianapolis, in fact they haven't been touring too long - they formed earlier this year. They sound like they've been playing together for a lot longer. Bustown Music Blog described them as, "think 'The Black Keys' meets 'The White Stripes' and every band from the 70's that meant anything at all to rock and roll." Sounds like fun to me!

Not-for-profit director by day, music writer by night, Nora Spitznogle reviews music that happened and previews music and events around Broad Ripple Village. Nora managed CATH Inc coffeehouse at 54th Street and College Avenue for seven years. During that time she hosted hundreds of local and touring musicians, both at the coffeehouse and her home. When CATH closed in 2004 and the music was no longer coming to her, she had to wander from her corner of Broad Ripple to see what is happening elsewhere. You can find her at Second Helpings during the work day, waitressing at the Red Key on Saturday nights and prowling Broad Ripple music venues the rest of the time.
