We all love Thelma and the Sleaze for their wacky trashy antics as well as their ass-kicking hard rock and raunchy fun live shows. Now Nashvillians are getting 29 days of consecutive performances from the trio, as Thelma and the Sleaze embark on what they are calling the first “intra-city tour,” playing a show a…

Buzzworthy UK-based post-punk band Savages have announced their first headlining gig here in Nashville, May 14 at Exit/In, just coming off the release of their acclaimed sophomore effort Adore Life earlier this week. The all-female quartet have gained comparisons to Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, and PJ Harvey, and their live show is said to be…

Deer Tick have always been one of our favorite semi-under-the-radar sort-of local bands (local via Providence, Rhode Island). The group have received tons of national acclaim and are huge influences on the Americana alt rock scene that’s so popular right now.

Local piano-pop singer-songwriter Brooke Waggoner may be most well-known to some for playing keys in Jack White’s all-female touring band The Peacocks, or for contributing in the studio to White’s solo efforts.

The soulful and confessional singer-songwriter Angel Snow has been a site favorite for awhile, with her self-titled record making our top local albums of 2012. It looks like her upcoming record is going to take a bit longer than we said when we debuted the video for “Secret” back at the beginning of the year,…

Third Man Records fans know Little Jack Lawrence very well. The bassist has played with Jack White in The Dead Weather and The Raconteurs, and is a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist in The Greenhornes.

The psych-pop quartet (three girls, one guy) Idle Bloom have been on our radar for awhile, rising from the ashes of Fancytramp to make something even better. Their split 7″ with Churchyard “Fare Fumo,” as well as their growing reputation for a kick-ass live show, have left many more than just us wondering when we’d…
