Ed Monk

Tomorrow (Sunday)! Come on out! We’re also thrilled to have the students on the School Of Rock Louisville and St. Matthews Show Teams warming up the crowd for us!

Thanks to Brouhaha Fest for the write-up…we hope to see you there tomorrow!

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Ed Monk makes their debut Forest performance this year on day 2! This band rides tight and smooth on an atomically premise rhythm section that frames timbrally rich guitar, pulling tones from new wave to neo-psychedelic rock. The vocals are intimate and melodic, making seemingly effortless use of the musical space to make a huge impact across highly dynamic arrangements. They take the stage at 5:45PM on Saturday!

We are incredibly excited to play Brouhaha Fest on October 5th as part of their all ages day lineup. For you youngins out there who haven’t gotten to see us play yet, we will see you in October! Man…what a killer lineup! Thanks to Colin LaMure and the crew for having us out!!

We are proud to present the lineup and poster for Brouhaha 2025! This year, Day 1 will be 21+ featuring a wild and whimsical lineup headed up by Forest favorites Mr. Please, preceeded by an all out rock n roll slam dunk fest consisting of VEZL, Villa Mure, Fuzzstration, Grandma's Boys, South Mouth, and Voodoo Symphony! Day 2, we are ecstatic to present our first ALL AGES DAY, featuring the School of Rock Louisville Show Team, alongside such local music champions as Full Disclosure, Ed Monk, Stay Bent, BenjeeHoward, Katie D & The Bluegills, LittleBand (Danny Flanigan Music), and Molly's Midnight Villains!

Brouhaha is a celebration of local music and the incredible community that makes it possible and makes our beloved Lousiville/SoIN sound like nowhere else in the world! To that end, we are sponsored by the amazing School of Rock Louisville, an awesome organization who endeavors to turn young minds into stellar musicians (and the bands of the future!), as well as the fine folks at Top Hill Recording, whose mission it is to connect local original artists and bring awareness to the one-of-a-kind music they make, right here in our hometown!

Last but not least, we want to shoutout Kendra Villiger for her beautiful work on this totally radical hand drawn poster!

BROUHAHA 2025 IS ON OCTOBER 4 & 5, MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND LET'S PARTY!
