Nashville indie rockers Scale Model have always had an affinity for ’80s synth rock and new wave, and, in their new music video for “El Cheapo,” the infectious opener from the group’s debut full-length, Star, they let their retro tendencies run wild. Akin to something you’d see on golden era MTV, the Seth Graves directed “El Cheapo” is…
Earlier this fall, we brought you the music video for “Smile,” a fun, buzzy new single from local singer-songwriter/producer turned Rihanna cohort and Grammy performer Mikky Ekko. At the time, we knew that Ekko had plans to release his debut, solo full-length sometime next year, but had yet to learn any concrete details. That has…
California noise punks Deerhoof have announced a world tour in support of their recently released 13th album, La Isla Bonita. After treks in Japan and Europe, the group will arrive stateside, and are slated to return to our very own Mercy Lounge on March 24.

As you may recall, the Vans Warped Tour returned to Nashville last summer for the first time since ’06. We had a blast, and, apparently, the Warped crew did as well, because the quintessential all ages traveling summer punk fest, entering its 21st consecutive year, will return to the Tennessee State Fairgrounds once again on July 1. Tickets…

Indie/emo rockers Into It. Over It. (who we’ve raved about countless times) recently premiered a new music video for “Spinning Thread,” perhaps our favorite track from the group’s 2013 full-length, Intersections. Chronicling a first-person perspective of a day in the life of frontman Evan Weiss, the Max Moore directed video is a lot of fun, and definite…
As we head into the holiday season, you would think that the number of shows would slow down a little bit. Apparently, Nashville didn’t get that memo this weekend. There are a ton of shows from R&B superstars, to the next big rock gods, to live tapings with some of the most talented musicians…

As we announced last month, the self-proclaimed “King of R&B,” R. Kelly, is set to perform tonight, Dec. 5, at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium. While it’s unclear if there will be a proper opener, the show is billed to include “special guests,” and comedian Damon Williams is set to host. You’re likely familiar with at least…
Newish Third Man Records artist Olivia Jean is playing her first real Nashville solo show outside Jack White’s compound tonight at The Stone Fox, so those who’ve heard the buzz about the chanteuse but missed her short in-store at Grimey’s and/or didn’t have the blood to give to attend her record release party on Devil’s…
