Bonnaroo’s Roo Clue Number 3!
•
Alright Bonnaroo, you finally might have stumped me. I’m positive Clue #1 is Japandroids. I’m pretty sure Clue #2 is Animal Collective. Clue #3, released yesterday, however, has me a bit stumped. If this was The Hobbit, Gollum would be allowed to eat me now (shoutout to my nerds!). (UPDATE: Andrew has a guess that…

The Young Rapscallions, Sol Cat, and The Kingston Springs | Tonight @ The High Watt
•
Hailing from Los Angeles, there’s one thing about The Young Rapscallions that you’ll probably notice right off the bat, so I’ll go ahead and get it out of the way: yes, that’s actor Chris Mintz-Plasse (from Superbad, Role Models, Kick-Ass, etc) on drums. No, this isn’t some Mintz-Plasse vanity project and no, it’s not some attempt for…

Floating Action w/ Natalie Prass & Bryan Cates @ The Stone Fox Tonight.
•
Floating Action, the moniker for the music of outdoor sportsman and red-bearded mountaineer Seth Kaufman, features tunes rooted in adventure, nature, distant travels, biking, snowboarding, and other outdoor endeavors. But it could also be Seth Kaufman‘s personal outdoor life soundtrack, as I envision him being the quintessential outdoorsman as the star of the music videos for his songs.…

Forgetters (Blake Schwarzenbach of Jawbreaker) Coming to Birmingham! | Thursday, 1.10.13
•
This show isn’t until Thursday, but since I’m about to make the case for a 3 hour drive through Alabama, I wanted to give you a couple of days to plan for it. You might remember how much I loved Forgetters‘ self-titled debut LP back in November. At the time, just the record alone…

‘Roo Clue Number 2!
•
We’re a little late on posting this one, but Bonnaroo released their second official lineup clue a few days ago. Along with the clue, the festival announced that they’re going to make the guessing game a little more complicated this year. This clue came in 3 parts (which are each lines to a haiku):…

TWiN | This Weekend In Nashville | 1/4 – 1/6
•
It’s time for another run down of TWiN. Damn, that came around quick, didn’t it? You are probably all still laid up licking your wounds from the last minutes of 2012, but remember, after this weekend, you get back to long work weeks with no relief in sight… until the next weekend. So, here’s a…

Ill Patriot, Sexx, The Tendoor, and McKenzie Gregg & the Tangles @ Exit/In Tonight
•
Ill Patriot is bang-your-head, politics-on-your-sleeve punk/hardcore music that is reminiscent of the melodic in-your-face approach of punk rockers Propagandhi, although Ill Patriot certainly has an aggressive hardcore side that sets them apart. I can see the mosh pits forming in my mind, and I’m trying to avoid them until I can’t take it anymore…

Bonnaroo Drops a Clue (and We’ve Got It Figured Out)
•
Yesterday on their official Facebook page, Bonnaroo posted this, their first lineup clue: Any guesses as to what it could mean? Here’s our best bet: I’m going to go ahead and call this one for Japandroids. Lots of people are making claims like David Bowie (wouldn’t that be rad), Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, Atoms for…
