It’s a day of “country” news here at “No Country”. We talked earlier about that new Diamond Rugs track “Country Mile”, and now we give you the new Tune-Yards video for “My Country”. To make the video, Merrill and Co. enlisted the help of the San Francisco Rock Project which is a nonprofit music…
You need something to do tonight. Head over to The High Watt for split 7″ release party for Echo Group and Mom & Dad. I’m fairly sure that we will hear more than one song out of each of them. Echo Group is a new Nashville band to keep your eye on. You might…
We’ve been all a flutter about the release of Diamond Rugs‘ debut release which is coming out on April 24th. According to a recent Rollsion Stone article, the new track “Country Mile” was written by Dead Confederate frontman, Hardy Morris, as a trubute to a friend of his that is in a wheelchair and…
This one kinda slipped past me last week, but it doesn’t have to slip past you. We haven’t talked about Denney & Co., or Those Darlin’s that much lately. I guess they were busy busting out this fun cover of Berry’s “Come On”. [bandcamp track=1973676011 bgcol=FFFFFF linkcol=4285BB size=venti]
Last night in the midst of The Naked and Famous at The Cannery, Lollapalooza announced their lineup for 2012. Nashville related highlights include The Black Keys, Jack White, Jeff The Brotherhood, & Chancellor Warhol. Other acts that make us want to make the trip to Chicago are Sigur Ros, The Walkmen, & At The…
The reclusive Tom Waits will be joining both Fallon and Letterman to talk about last year’s Bad As Me, and will presumably play a couple of tracks from that release publicly for the first time. Hopefully, he will take the same route as most of the others that have dates on the late night…
In support of their highly anticipated 6th LP, Swing Low Magellan, Dirty Projectors will be rolling through Nashville on August 13th. I know it is hard to think about those sweaty hot days while we are in this lovely early spring here, but it is going to be a pretty big tour of the…
Don’t head to Mercy Lounge tonight. The pop-splotion is happening at the Cannery Ballroom now. I’m assuming that means that we have bought more tickets than anyone ever expected on a Tuesday night. This one is going to be worth it too. If you don’t know the biggest pop sensations to come out of…
After a 7 year hiatus, Fiona Apple is releasing a new record in June of this year. The Idler Wheel… will be Apple’s first release since her 2005 Extraordinary Machine, which I will admit was on heavy rotation around here in 2006. She’s played a few little shows around recently and that SXSW show…
Yeah, it’s Easter weekend, and you have plans with the family and whatnot… but that isn’t going to last all night, and you need something to send your weekend off with a bang. That’s why you need to get over to Mercy Lounge to see Austin, TX psych rockers White Denim. We’ve talked quite…
