Kendra Morris plays New Faces Night @ The Basement Tonight
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…

Bloc Party This Friday @ Cannery Ballroom! | 1.18.13
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.

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.
