  • Did You Miss The Lumineers at Cannery Ballroom?

    Well, this won’t completely make up for it, but you can check out this Lightning 100 session that was recorded mere hours before the Cannery show.  Songs include “Classy Girls”, “Ho Hey”, and “Stubborn Love”.  It’s a great recording, enjoy!

  • Stream Animal Collective’s ‘Centipede Hz’ and Watch The Video for “Today’s Supernatural”

    Animal Collective is set to release, Centipede Hz, their first record in three years on September 4th via Domino.  It is as experimental as anything we’ve heard from these guys, and, after watching the video for “Today’s Supernatural” below, I’m pretty sure they have been taking excessive amounts of drugs for the past three years…

  • Denney & The Jets EP Release & Tour

    We’re pretty big fans of the beer drinking twang rockers Denney & The Jets over here, and it’s great to hear that they just released a self titled EP on Limited Fanfare Records.  Of course, no release would be complete without a big ‘ole fun tour to go along with it.  Chris Denney &…

    From beers to bands to porn stars… East Nashville Underground continued to grow into an amazing little festival this season.  I didn’t even spend the entire weekend there, but I felt completely embraced and at home at the new event space over on Gallatin (The East Room).  It was unfortunate that some snitch ratted…

  • This Weekend In Nashville, August 17-19

    We’ve spent quite a bit of time getting you ready for this weekend already.  Remember that whole East Nashville Underground wristband giveaway that we were running.  Well, that’s over with, but there are still full-weekend, free-drinks included wristbands available for $20 at the door.  I’m still blown away everytime I say that.  It’s two…
