Born and raised right here in Nashville, it’s only fitting that pop megastar Miley Cyrus will bring her just-announced Bangerz tour back to her old stomping grounds. The 38-date (and growing) trek will hit our very own Bridgestone Arena on Friday, April 18. Tickets go on sale Saturday, Nov. 16 at 10 a.m., with various pre-sales beginning next Tuesday, Nov.…

It feels like it’s been a little while since we last sent you to an El El show, so we’d be remiss if you didn’t bring you the scoop on Ben Elkins and friends’ latest activity. The poppy, eclectic local rockers, one of our favorite up and coming acts in town, will be performing…

The Journey’s Noise Tour hits Nashville this evening, bringing an eclectic electronic/dance/hip hop-leaning lineup of 3OH!3, The Summer Set, Wallpaper., and New Beat Fund to The Cannery Ballroom.

We’ve given you the rundown on Nashville electro-pop outfit VITEK numerous times in the past, and, on occasion, we’ve filled you in on its talented members’ various other projects. The latest offshoot, Ponzi, comes from VITEK bassist Brady Surface. We’re excited to premiere “Blood Pulse,” a brand new track from Ponzi and the first single…

We often tell you about various punk and pop punk shows. Though that scene and its many offshoots and subgenres is fairly diverse in its own right, more often than not, the pop punk-related tours that pass through contain several bands who ultimately sound fairly similar in style. That is not the case for tonight‘s show…

Omaha post-hardcore/emo/indie rock act Desaparecidos are one of the many, many bands on planet earth, past or present, to include Conor Oberst, best known as the vision behind Bright Eyes. While Oberst is a very busy man and, as a byproduct, many of his groups have existed intermittently, Desaparecidos had an especially short run, forming in…

Folky, indie rockers Lord Huron recently announced another Nashville show (hot the heels of a sold out headliner at 3rd & Lindsley, a “secret” show at The Pour House, and an opening slot at The Ryman with alt-j, and less than a year after performances at both Bonnaroo and The High Watt), set to take place Feb. 13 at The Cannery…
