Mogwai w/ Errors – 8pm tonight, Exit/In
•
Mogwai is the epitome of post-rock. This five man band out of Glasgow Scotland is well known for lengthy instrumental electric guitar pieces and melodic bass lines.

Here We Go Magic w/ Caveman – The Basement, Thursday May 19

The last time I saw Here We Go Magic, they were opening for Panda Bear. At that time, HWGM was simply the Moniker for lead man Luke Temple, who recorded his first HWGM album alone with a tom, guitar, microphone, and synthesizer on a four track recorder. Since the success of the first album,…

Uh Huh Her, Exit/In – Wed. May 18

This indie electropop duo that seems to just have fallen into it. I am not insinuating that they haven’t worked really hard to get where they are, but these two LA girls have had lots of opportunity (and have taken full advantage!!!!) from multiple bands and a staring role in the Showtime series The…

The Black Lips at Exit/In August 3rd

Highly acclaimed rockers The Black Lips will be at the Exit/In in Nashville on August 3rd. Their self-proclaimed “flower punk” style gives them a bit of a Velvet Underground playing sixties surf sound. These guys are also well known for completely off-the-wall raucous shows that have included flaming guitars, bodily fluids, and one incident…
