Beach House w/Dustin Wong @ Marathon Music Works Tonight
•
By Contributor Andrew Johnson While Beach House‘s 2010 release Teen Dream was full of songs eloquently stacked with thick layers of dreamy trance projecting feelings of passion, energy and excitement, their newest release Bloom features the same audio texture, but is more uplifting in its calculated sound and slightly more electronic-pop oriented. In an interview…

The Metric System: It’s Time To Convert.
•
The Metric are not only musicians, but also wise, prophetic rulers. I know it sounds outlandish, but listen: They know things we don’t know. They know things we do know, but aren’t willing to admit. We’re stuck in a rut of old ideas and uninspiring motivations. Many of us just revert back to standard,…

This Weekend in Nashville, Sept. 7-9
•
By Contributor Andrew Johnson This weekend probably has a light schedule as far as Nashville goes, but you should still check out some live music if you can.

Dan Deacon Ensemble w/ Height with Friends, Chester Endersby Gwazda & Alan Resnick at Exit In Tonight
•
By Contributor Andrew Johnson Baltimore resident Dan Deacon’s newest LP America begins with the track “Guilford Avenue Bridge,” which has the sound of an alien spaceship entering Earth’s atmosphere through the Ozone layer and thick clouds and scouring the horizon, making scientific notes about the landscape and the distant civilizations. This song is followed…

•
By Contributor Andrew Johnson The Fourth Edition of Thirsty Thursday offers a unique instrumental style of jazz and caribbean flair, progressive jammers referencing an Aztec emperor, and a two-piece blues rock outfit that conveys its ferocity without the likes of bass guitar. Check out the Facebook event page here. I feel like I’m a…

Doors at 9, $8…

Santah and the Blackfoot Gypsies at the High Watt tonight
•
By Contributor Andrew Johnson It’s good to see Santah back in Nashville. They play tonight with the Blackfoot Gypsies at the High Watt. I was first introduced to the members and music of Chicago natives Santah when they played The End with Heypenny and Tommy and The High Pilots on August 20, 2011. I…

Light Pilot + Station Inn = Great Show.
•
By Contributor Andrew Johnson I saw Nashville’s Light Pilot last night at Station Inn, and they sounded stellar. It was the perfect venue for them, as it is appropriately cozy and the ideal size and shape of a room for acoustics. Light Pilot is set up like the traditional bluegrass band, minus the fiddle.…

Tristen, D. Watusi, Paperhead and Hanzelle at Exit In Tonight
•
By Contributor Andrew Johnson I saved my energy over the weekend for this interesting Monday night lineup at Exit In. You can grab your $7 tickets here, or at the doors starting at 8pm. Here’s the skinny: Hanzelle is described as electro-chamber rock, which I think is only halfway correct. For some parts of…
