Manchester Orchestra to Play Cannery Ballroom May 31
Atlanta indie rockers Manchester Orchestra last properly played Nashville in 2011. However, some of its various members have passed through more recently with other projects, most prominently Kevin Devine collab Bad Books. The group’s last effort, Simple Math, was mind blowingly good, and news of their upcoming fourth album, Cope, due out April 1, has us drooling in anticipation…

Don’t Miss The Menzingers, Off with Their Heads, & Free Throw | TONIGHT @ The End
This time last year, we named The Menzingers‘ On the Impossible Past one of the Best Records of 2012. Nearly two years after its release, the album still stands as one of the most well-written, perfectly poppy yet vehemently aggressive, thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end punk records in recent memory. It’s been years since the…

Miley Cyrus to Air ‘MTV Unplugged’ Jan. 29
MTV has announced that Nashville’s Miley Cyrus will be the latest musician to be featured on the network’s acclaimed Unplugged series. Though it has waned in popularity since its ’90s heyday, the show remains a great outlet for showcasing artists in a stripped down setting, often in stark contrast to the sound they’re known for. Miley Cyrus Unplugged will…

North Carolina indie rockers Superchunk have announced their first Nashville show in years, presumably to split their long drive to Coachella, April 11 at Mercy Lounge. If that weren’t exciting enough on its own, one of our favorite up and coming local acts, Bully, whose debut EP we named one of the Best Nashville Records of 2013, have been tapped…

Look out for even more exciting news and features…

[Preview] Catch the Emancipator Ensemble w/ Real Magic & Blockhead | Jan. 18 @ Cannery Ballroom
Let’s be honest: there’s a huge appeal these day for tripped out, chill music. Putting a genre or label on this style of music is fairly hard (trip hop maybe?), but acts of the likes of Bonobo and Tycho keep on resurfacing to continue the legacies of Nightmares on Wax and Boards of Canada.…

Bonnaroo’s Roo Clues ’14: Number 4
Bonnaroo kicked off its annual lineup guessing game, Roo Clues, last week, and we think we solved the first two as well as number three. Adopting a much simpler format, this year’s clues will just be Instagram-based, and will arrive every Tuesday and Thursday. Roo Clue #4 landed this morning, and Bonnaroo must have been listening when we asked…
