Against Me! Debut “Haunting, Haunted, Haunts” Video | See Them Tonight in Memphis
•
While they graced us with both a headlining and co-headling show in 2014, seminal punk outfit Against Me!, whose seventh full-length Shape Shift With Me arrived last fall, seem long-overdue for a Music City return. We’ve gotten our fix at festivals (Forecastle in 2014, Bonnaroo in 2015, Shaky Knees in 2016), but nothing beats catching the unparalleled, long-running,…

Allen Thompson, Creature Comfort, Stelle Amor, & More Compete in FREE Road to Roo Preliminary Round | TONIGHT @ Acme
•
We went over this last year, but former Battle of the Bands-style competition series the “Road to Bonnaroo,” in which three Mercy Lounge showcases resulted in three local bands earning a coveted Bonnaroo spot, came to a close after its 2015 season.

See Downtown Boys, Sneaks, Sad13, & Stef Chura | TONIGHT @ Third Man Records!
•
We don’t need a holiday as an excuse to acknowledge all of the badass women making music, both in Nashville and beyond, but the fact that it’s International Women’s Day does make this show tonight, March 8 at Third Man Records feel all the more fitting (but, let’s be real, these artists are amazing 24/7, 365, they’re not defined…

Late last year, we announced that genre-bending, artsy San Francisco black metal meets post-metal meets shoegaze outfit Deaheaven would play their second ever headlining show in Nashville, and first in three years (they’ve been back as a support act, and also played Bonnaroo in between) tonight, March 8 at Mercy Lounge. Still riding a wave of positive buzz…

[TICKET GIVEAWAY] Dinosaur Jr. w/ Easy Action | March 23 @ Cannery Ballroom
•
It’s been four and half years since beloved alt rock pioneers Dinosaur Jr. last made an appearance in Nashville, and, thankfully, not much has changed for the reunited and rejuvenated rockers in the time since, other than the release of yet another great late career effort, last year’s Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not. As announced…

MC Lars & Mega Ran Bring Nerdcore Rap to Rocketown TONIGHT
•
Nerdcore, nerd rap, laptop rap, whatever you want to call it, there’s no denying that both MC Lars and Mega Ran have been instrumental figures in their flourishing hip hop subgenre for more than 15 years. Hailing from Berkeley, Calif., Lars, equally a fan of classic literature as modern pop culture, forged his unique sound by fusing elements…

Florida emo outfit You Blew It! are out in support of their unbelievable third album, last fall’s Abendrot, and they return to town tonight, March 7 for a performance at The End in support. Though their name might conjure a less serious, pop punk-geared vibe, YBI! are actually a lot more in-line with classic emo like The Get Up Kids…

On the road for a tour he’s dubbing “The Life Aquatic,” eclectic, poignant, and alternative hip hop artist Vince Staples is set to return to Nashville for the second time ever, and first time in a headlining slot tonight, March 7 at Marathon Music Works.
