•
We get a pretty healthy stack of inquiries around here from artists requesting our words of promotion. We got one recently that really grabbed my attention, and, by my attention, I mean I listened to more than 3 minutes of it. I listened to the whole record… twice (make that three times by the…

Watch Talking Heads perform “Psycho Killer” in their first gig ever in 1975 from CBGB in NY
•
A friend led me to a video of Talking Heads performing the iconic song “Psycho Killer” from their first gig ever back in 1975. I knew this was post-worthy, but it also prompted me to do a little bit more research. The setting was the legendary CBGB club which opened in 1973 as a…

The Black Belles & Bleached, The End, Tonight in Nashville
•
It’s been 36 hours since MIA “flicked” the bird at the Superbowl, and now it is time to move on and talk about some local music happenings that matter. It’s quite the double bill tonight at The End as The Black Belles team up with fuzz pop rockers Bleached for another awesome night out…

Superbowl Halftime Show and MIA flicked you off…
•
I love it when people say “flicked off” instead of “flipped off”, and I was especially excited to use that phrase in a post after seeing MIA “flick off” the world on it’s biggest televised stage. So, what did you think of that Madonna produced party? I’m not really a huge Madonna fan. I…

The Ataris, The End, Tonight in Nashville
•
While the biggest shows in Nashville tonight are probably David Allen Coe at Marathon Music Works and Rusko at Cannery Ballroom, neither of those are peaking my interest enough to write about them… for whatever reason.

Jack White with a Bonnaroo slot?
•
We started thinking about the possibility of Jack White rolling down I-24 from his Nashville home to play a set at Bonnaroo as soon as we heard that first track from his solo record Blunderbuss. That Bonnaroo rumor mill continues to swirl with JWiii’s announcement as a headliner at the Sasquatch Festival. While he…

•
Nashville’s own Jeff The Brotherhood are currently on tour opening for The Kills. They are at Washington DC’s 9:30 Club tonight, and NPR will be streaming the entire show on their website. There isn’t much more that I need to tell you about that. If you know who these bands are… you will understand…

Real Estate announces more tour dates. No Nashville date… or is there?
•
Real Estate gave us the glimpse to that highly acclaimed sophomore LP Days back in July when they played that Sounds Like Summer gig at The Hard Rock in Nashville. Days released in October of last year, and was on almost every Best of 2011 list that I saw. And, then there is that…

Kansas Bible Company, Exit/In, Tonight In Nashville
•
Do you know about Kansas Bible Company? They’ve been playing around the Nashville scene since moving to the east side of the river in the summer of 2011. Maybe you caught them at Green Door Gourmet, The 5 Spot, Drifters, The Basement, or Mercy Lounge? One local venue employee (who’s seen thousands of shows)…
