The Gaslight Anthem Returns to Nashville | Tonight @ Marathon Music Works!
•
My how time flies. It seems like The Gaslight Anthem were just here, but it’s been nearly eight months since the heartland-punks last played Nashville. That show, which took place at Mercy Lounge, sold out almost immediately. 2012 not only saw the release of the band’s latest, and critically revered, record Handwritten, but also finally marked the band’s true…

American Idiot The Musical | 3.5-3.7 @ TPAC
•
When someone mentions Green Day in 2013, what first comes to mind? The pop punk pioneers’ lackluster trilogy of albums released late last year? Perhaps the somewhat uninspired record that proceeded, 2009’s 21st Century Breakdown? Singer Billie Joe Armstrong’s very public freakout, which shed light on substance abuse problems and led to a recent stint in rehab ( the inpatient rehab…

Bonnaroo Band of the Day: Deap Vally
•
Bonnaroo Artist | Deap Vally Bonnaroo History | Newbie Stage & Time: | This Tent | Thursday | 8:30PM LA duo Deap Vally are often lauded as the female version of The Black Keys, or compared to Jack White. Those are some hefty shoes to fill, and quite a lot of hype for a relatively new band to live…
