Pinback and Solos, Tonight at Exit/In
•
The wonderful East Nashville Underground festival is kicking off tonight, but if you’re more of a two-band guy or gal, the Exit/In has another great option for you. California indie rockers Pinback are nothing if not reliable. With their new album (their first in five years), Information Retrieved, the band doesn’t step much out of their…

Paper Route, Canon Blue, The Last Bison- Tonight @ 3rd and Lindsley
•
Presented by Wedgwood Circle, Nashville natives Paper Route and Canon Blue headline a really fantastic show tonight at 3rd and Lindsley. With 5 great bands for only $10, I can’t think of a better way to spend your Thursday night (or, as I like to call it, East Nashville Underground Eve). After carving out…

New Release Spotlight | 11.13.12, Part 1
•
This week is a bit out of control for new releases. I tried my hardest to narrow them down, but there are just too many great new records to fit into one post, so I’m splitting it into two. I’ll give you five records each day (and a couple of bonus picks). The second…

Jeff Mangum Announces Full U.S. Tour for 2013; TN Date Included!

Here’s another tour announcement we’re floored about! It’s been almost 15 years since enigmatic frontman Jeff Mangum disbanded Neutral Milk Hotel, shortly after the release of their classic album In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.

Peelander-Z & Electric Eel Shock- Japanese Rock Comes to Nashville, Tonight @ Mercy Lounge
•
Peelander-Z are not an easy band to describe. They refer to themselves as “Japanese Action Comic Punk hailing from the Z area of planet Peelander.” That says more about their persona than their sound, and I’ll come back to that. Stylistically, the band plays a pretty no-frills, fast, high-energy old school flavor of punk rock.…

New Release Spotlight | 11.6.12
•
New feature alert. We know keeping up with new releases can be a chore, especially this time of year. The fall is so jam packed that it can be tough to keep track of what’s coming out, much less sort through and find the best records. Each week, one of our newest contributors, Philip, is…

Black Moth Super Rainbow, Tonight at Exit/In
•
Black Moth Super Rainbow are a band that really must be experienced live to be properly appreciated. Performing under very interesting personal stage names such as Tobacco and The Seven Fields of Aphelion, with a stage full of synthesizers and vocoders, the band has their psychedelic and enthralling sound down to a science. Their typical crowd is just…
