Can William Shatner fit ALL his awesome into TPAC? | 1.12.13 – 8pm
Captain Kirk is coming to town with Shatner’s World, his one-man live show, straight from The Great White Way– and it’s for more than just the casual Trekkie (if there is such a thing). The Shat’s show promises “with signature storytelling, video clips, and an inimitable musical style, William Shatner brings to stage the…

Local Natives: The Buzz for The New Album “Hummingbird” Looms Large.
I remember the first time I heard the Local Natives’ first record Gorilla Manor in late 2009, and I was absolutely blown away. Their dedication to ear-soothing three-part harmonies and constantly catchy tunes that feature afro-pop guitars made for an amazing record. Shortly thereafter, I went to Grimey’s and bought that record on vinyl. At…

Elton John announces return to Nashville in April
After I had just gushed about my hope for William Shatner to do his infamous cover version of Elton John‘s classic, “Rocket Man” during his appearance at TPAC this weekend (in a post written last night but slated for later, don’t worry, you’ll see it soon-ish) – now the man himself has announced a…

Auto Defiance w/Thee Japanese Schoolgirls, Vyie, and Violet Knives @ The High Watt Tonight
Art rockers Auto Defiance, fronted by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Bradley Boyer and co-writer/vocalist Asheira on synth and bells, may not be trying to convince you to save money and the environment by biking or walking to work, but they are attempting to cross new borders and explore new frontiers by mixing vintage film clips with their…

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.

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.…
