Last week Lou took over the island of Mallorca, Spain as a triple threat at this year’s Alternatilla Festival. On April 29th Lou’s Romanticism photography exhibit opened at the Es Baluard Museum to a mass of Spanish press and hundreds of eager fans. Later that evening, Lou’s film, Red Shirley, screened at the museum, and was followed by a question and answer session.
The next evening, Lou’s Metal Machine Trio performed to a sold out crowd at the Teatre Principal de Palma, which ended the highly successful MM3 European tour.
