As we told you earlier this year, former brains behind Bright Eyes, occasional Desaparecido, and sometimes Monster of Folk Conor Oberst has a new album, Upside Down Mountain, set to drop May 19 on Nonesuch Records, as well as a current U.S. tour with Dawes, which stops at our very own Ryman Auditorium on June 6. Not only will Dawes open…
Pulling a move out of the Steven Tyler playbook, Foo Fighters frontman and former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl played an unannounced show for an unsuspecting crowd of less than 100 people last night at Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe. While no stranger to surprise performances, this one appears to have been Grohl’s most intimate yet, and featured nine…
Earlier this spring, Nashville garage/punk rocker PUJOL announced his sophomore full-length, KLUDGE, which is due out in just under two weeks, May 20, through Saddle Creek Records. Fist single “Pitch Black” came along with the announcement, then followup “Circles” arrived last month. Thanks to American Songwriter, a third (and likely final before KLUDGE) single, “Dark Haired Suitor,” is now…
A little over a month ago we brought you “Tipper Whore Party Program,” the lead single from Nashville glam party rockers Tipper Whore‘s forthcoming debut full-length, Just The Tip (due out May 26 through Yewknee Records). We’ve been listening to the punk and new wave inspired track pretty much nonstop ever since and, now, we’re pleased to…
No, we’re not turning into a fan site for The Black Keys, but man have those dudes had a busy few weeks. First, the Nashville (by way of Ohio) duo announced their eighth full-length album, Turn Blue, due out Tuesday on Nonesuch Records, and debuted its lead single, “Fever.” Next, they dropped title track “Turn Blue,” followed by an…
We told you about it, we gave away tickets, and, now, the night is finally here! Indie rockers Spoon are back after a bit of a break, prepping an all-new album and hitting the road for their first proper tour in several years. This evening’s Marathon Music Works performance marks the group’s first Nashville date in seven years,…
SuperJams are a Bonnaroo tradition, and, especially in recent years, have grown to become not only a staple, but a highlight of the fest. Generally centered around a group of artists with some sort of stylistic or thematic link (jam, hip hop, bluegrass, etc), SuperJams are a way to bring an eclectic and jaw-dropping group…
Celebrated singer, author, and former Smiths frontman Morrissey is set to perform May 28 at The Ryman Auditorium with Kristeen Young, and, as of writing, there are very few tickets still available (only around 50, from the looks of it). We first told you about his upcoming tenth album (and first in five years), World Peace Is None of Your Business, back in March,…
For their first official music video release of 2014, local proggy indie rockers Moon Taxi recently dropped their vid for Mountains Beaches Cities single “Morocco.” Special effects heavy, more stylized, and glitzier than prior video releases, “Morocco” is an extension of the continued success the group have experienced over the past few years, quickly graduating from Music City Mayhem…
Seemingly exploding out of nowhere in 2012 with inescapably catchy hit single “Sweater Weather,” Southern California indie/alt-rocers The Neighbourhood found immediate success last year with their debut full-length, I Love You. Barely into their 20’s, the band have performed at fests like SXSW, Coachella, and Music Midtown, and have toured with The 1975 and Imagine Dragons. They…
