Ron Funches to Play The Basement East June 24
•
Though he began performing standup over a decade ago in his adopted home of Portland, Oregon (after moving from Chicago as a teen, and before more recently relocating to Los Angeles), Ron Funches has only really exploded onto the national radar over the past few years.

ALT 98.3 Rises from the Dead As ALT 97.5
•
Late last year and much to our chagrin, iHeartRadio-owned local alternative rock radio station ALT 98.3 met its premature demise, converted, just two years into its run, into a classic country station. Though admittedly, with so many great independent, satellite, and internet radio options, Clear Channel stations aren’t alway the coolest thing around, ALT 983 managed…

The musical outlet of Murfreesboro based singer-songwriter AJ Gruenewald, Bogues is a project we’ve had our eye on for awhile, and his debut EP, Mulligan, was one of the most criminally-underrated local releases of last year. Along with members of fellow rising local group Pale Lungs, AJ operates house venue Dad’s Garage and DIY show promotion entity Fountainhead Booking, which,…

Don’t Miss Big Jesus w/ Low Mass & Overwatcher | TONIGHT @ The End
•
Birthed out of the Atlanta hardcore, punk, and metal scene, eclectic rockers Big Jesus are among a crop of new acts unabashedly drawing influence from ’90s alternative, forgoing their conventionally heavy upbringing to, instead, explore hooks hooks and melody, channeling elements of shoegaze, psychedelic pop, grunge, and more, though not entirely abandoning the sonic palates they…

[TICKET GIVEAWAY] The Zombies’ Original Lineup Perform ‘Odessey & Oracle’ | April 9 @ TPAC
•
Like many groups who disappeared for decades, only to resurface a generation later, beloved British sensation The Zombies might be hard to keep up with. Muddied further by decades of imposer acts trying to play under their name, the band, who initially broke up in 1967, reunited intermittently in the ’90s, and have been in full reunion…
