The 1975 Premiere “Settle Down” Video | Catch Them May 15 @ Marathon Music Works
The seemingly unstoppable force that is England’s The 1975 first announced a Nashville show back in November, then planned to be at Exit/In, before upgrading to Marathon Music Works amidst a massive sea of buzz.

Pixies Premiere Video for “Magdalena” | Catch Them Sunday (2/2) @ The Ryman!
In the time since we first announced that the Pixies would be performing at The Ryman, the group have premiered several videos, gone through another new bassist, and dropped their second surprise EP in the course of just a few months. Not bad for a group who spent 22 years without a proper release. The band are back with…

Watch Miley Cyrus Go ‘Unplugged’ for MTV
As we told you last week, Nashville-born Miley Cyrus aired her very own MTV Unplugged last night, Jan. 29, ahead of her upcoming Bangerz tour, which makes a stop at Bridgestone Arena on April 18. Between her Disney ties, recent affinity for club jams, and top 40 over-production, it’s easy to forget that, at her core, Cyrus was raised in…

[TICKET GIVEAWAY] White Lies w/ Frankie Rose | 2.19.14 @ Cannery Ballroom
UK trio White Lies have played Nashville exactly one time, in 2009, at Bridgestone Arena (then the Sommet Center) with two local acts: Kings of Leon and Mother/Father. Performing in a hard environment to make a first impression and supporting a band that’s a little out of their wheelhouse, it’s hard to say that White Lies have…

Mötley Crüe Announce “Final” Nashville Performance | Oct. 15 @ Bridgestone Arena
Hard rock/hair metal mavens Mötley Crüe have been been threatening to throw in the towel for quite some time now, and, finally, it appears that they’re actually prepared to. Though many bands bill their tours as a “farewell,” only to resurface for a “comeback” or reunion just a few years later, the Crüe have gone so…

Don’t Miss Back to Back Nashville Shows from Briar Rabbit | Jan. 27 & 28 @ The Basement
Unfamiliar with Chicago singer-songwriter Briar Rabbit? We bet you know a thing or two about his uncle, B.B. King. Though he takes a more straightforward pop approach than King (Rabbit is self-described as “thought-pop”), Briar channels his impressive knack for immersive, expertly crafted, and emotionally resonant compositions. Very much a unique performer in his own…
