The new Kentucky Nightmare meditated together in the spring of 2005, mixed their blood in a crucible, bicycled to Nashville, Indiana to buy belt buckles and knick-knacks, came back, set the blood on fire, and waited to see what would happen. The results were unanimously satisfactory. The band was rocking more melodic, clever, and crafty songs. The 3-part harmonies rose to meed the clouds & taunt them with their cuteness.

This unit got much more serious–mastering their sound, practicing diligently, playing on the road, playing more shows in town, drinking. They were included on the 2007 Live from Bloomington CD. They placed 3rd in a highly contested Bloomington Battle of the Bands.

After excruciatingly enjoyable sessions at Mike Bridavsky’s Russian Recording, as well as the mind-bogglingly joyful experience of signing with Standard Recording Co., Kentucky Nightmare are released their second effort, Take Her Favour, to the world.
