Here’s yet another addition to our Roo Clue catchup game. Roo Clue #6 was released last week and, as is the norm for Thursday clues, came from Radio Bonnaroo, the Bonnaroo app, and this video: Here’s the haiku: Two fathers sit still, Deep in the fields of lava, Waiting for the scream. Ok, I’ll…

That’s right, legendary punks Bad Religion and contemporary innovators Against Me! are set to perform in Nashville in March! This marks Bad Religion’s first ever Music City show in the band’s 33-year existence.

Prominent up and coming pop punk groups The Story So Far and Man Overboard had scheduled a Nashville date at Rocketown as part of their upcoming “Suppy Nation” national tour. In light of yesterday’s firing controversy involving an employee named Wes Breedwell, the bands have pulled their show from the venue. Here’s the announcement, as posted on The Story…

I remember listening to NPR in my car while driving in Green Hills, and they were doing a music segment on neo-soul artist Kendra Morris. They played a clip of the song “Concrete Waves” off her latest record Banshee and it immediately caught my attention with its dark, psychedelic, guitar-driven intro that seemed to recall the mysterious…

Brit rockers Bloc Party are set to perform in Nashville this Friday, January 18, at The Cannery Ballroom. I believe this marks the band’s first stop in town since 2007. Released late last summer, the band’s latest album, Four, found the post-punks’ triumphant return to form after a three year hiatus.
