We’ve already given you our favorite “National” Records and favorite “Nashville” Records from 2012. It’s time for our primary staff writers to give you their picks for the pee-their-pants-with-happiness live music highlights from the past year (Bonnaroo sets not included). We see lots and lots of music, but we can’t see it all. Leave…

A Live Cuts Christmas, featuring The Hillbilly Casino | Tonight @ Parlour & Juke
•
Parlour & Juke is the reason my hair always looks so fantastic (seriously, have you guys seen my hair? shout-out to Savannah!). With an expert staff, offbeat and captivating decor, and a cozy little location on Cannery Row (not to mention the free beer you’re offered while you wait!), it should come as no surprise that…

The Protomen | Tonight @ 12th & Porter
•
The Protomen are a somewhat mysterious group of Nashville-based musicians who adopted pop culture-referencing stage names and craft technical ’80s-style rock operas inspired by the videogame Mega Man. If that sentence does not pique your interest, there’s a good chance you’re not The Protomen’s target demographic. If it does, there’s a good chance that you already know and…

Reverend Horton Heat w/Hillbilly Casino and Rickett Pass @ Exit/In Tonight
•
Even though I’m not a modern country music fan, lately I’ve been a fan of musicians with tasteful and/or jaw-dropping chops that make their living playing offshoots of country music, which include bluegrass, Americana, Western swing, and rockabilly. Reverend Horton Heat has those types of musicians, and certainly could be called rockabilly. But they’ve taken the “rock” in…

•
So, I was one of the many smashed (in both ways) into Ghot Wingz on Saturday night for that incredible lineup that we told you about last week. The show did not disappoint in any way. I mean, it was one of the best line ups that has been on a single bill this…

Every Avenue’s Last Ever Nashville Show | Tonight @ Rocketown
•
I’ve definitely written my fair share about pop punk on the site before, but I don’t think I’ve ever delved much into the neon wave of the late ’00s (mainly because I don’t much care for it, and it was the culmination of the genere’s slow decline). Here, for the uninitiated, is my very brief…

Relient K | Tonight @ Rocketown!
•
In 2001, the modern wave of pop punk was in its heyday (and I, as an impressionable teen, couldn’t get enough of it). Blink-182 were multi-platinum artists. Jimmy Eat World, Sum 41, and New Found Glory were all over MTV (and wow, MTV still kind of played some videos). Carryovers from ’90s success like Green Day and The…
