Remember me telling you about the “math rock” supergroup Battles a while back? Do you remember me telling you that Battles was one of Spin Magazine’s top 30 fall tours of 2011? Well, I am going to remind you about it today, so you will know what you should do tonight in Nashville. Battles…
Usually we talk about Tonight In Nashville which would be me raving about Deer Tick, but, if you are looking to support some local acts (and you know where Gallatin is), you could head out to the Big Nashty Festival. It’s a two stage event that gets started at 1pm and howls straight throught…
All the music world has been going nuts over the CMJ Festival in New York this week. CMJ is a smorgasbord (yeah, I had to spell check that) of up and coming musicians that take over various clubs in New York for the week with innumerable parties hosted by all the powers that be…
I am sure this is big enough news that I don’t really need to tell you about it… My Morning Jacket is playing at Vanderbilt’s Memorial Gymnasium tonight.

So, let me be more specific… if you are down some high tempo bluegrass action, then I…
Ok. You never know where Tonight in Nashville is going to lead you… is it going to be a shoegazey night of sipping cheap beer? or maybe you are going to get caught in a frothy moshpit while holding up stage divers? Yeah, those were both last night… Well, tonight you need to get…
Do you not know (or care) what shoegaze means? Do you need some music with a bit more punch tonight? Maybe a show that you can ride your skateboard to? Do you need something that is going to get the body moving… probably into the person next to you? Do you want to disregard…
I know. It’s Monday. That sucks! You are still drinking coffee trying to get in the spirit of the work week, aren’t you? Well, while you are pretending to work while sipping that coffee, let me tell you about what you should do tonight in Nashville. I’ve talked quite a bit about Wye Oak. …
Do you remember us talking about that local electro-rock outfit, Vinyl Thief? In local release news, Vinyl Thief has released their first new single since their 2010 Control EP. If you want it, I’m sure the band will give it to you too over at their website. It’ll give you a little bit of…
