As the new year ramps up and we head towards the post-holiday uptick in touring, we have several exciting national acts making stops in Nashville in the coming weeks to look forward to. One can’t-miss show for fans of expansive, avant-garde, and genre-bending indie rock is Destroyer‘s return to Mercy Lounge on Feb. 1, where the Dan Bejar-led group…
Indie rock darlings and Matador Records stalwarts Yo La Tengo are gearing up to release their 15th full-length record, There’s A Riot Going On, on March 16, and have released four new tracks from the upcoming LP to give you a little taste of what to expect. Unsurprisingly, the singles feature the same laid back,…
As we announced at the onsale, legendary Irish rockers U2 are gearing up for a summer tour in support of their recently released Songs Of Experience, which will bring them to Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on May 26. Amazingly, a limited number of tickets are still available for that show, and you should jump on those…
Since they burst onto the scene in 2014 with their spectacular release Forbidden Fruits, we have been huge fans of ’60s flavored psych/garage rockers The Nude Party. Despite getting their start in the peaks and valleys of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Boone, NC, the six man ensemble have been known to also dip into…
If you are one for getting out and about, this week has been the pits. Fear not, cabin-weary friend, as temperatures are going to climb this weekend, just in time for Women’s March 2.0, and there are a lot of cool shows, including a special free Happy Birthday to our friends at Mercy Lounge,…
We first introduced you to local singer-songwriter Chris Plank, who performs under his musical moniker Uncle Knuckle, when we premiered a pair of early singles last year, “Brush Yer Teeth” and “Out of Bed.” Boasting a commanding, baritone voice and earnest lyrical style, with a penchant for lo-fi, nostalgic, dance ready yet self-reflective and melancholy tunes that…
It’s been a few years since we’ve heard new music from talented songwriter Jacob Thomas Jr. He made waves in the local scene with his stark and honest debut, Original Sin, back in 2014, which described his fall from God that ultimately led Jacob to Nashville to pursue his passion. His first record tackled his…
We last checked in on orchestral indie pop multi-instrumentalist Kishi Bashi last year, when he both headlined The Basement East and played the inaugural Church Street Block Party. Since bursting onto the scene in 2012 with his debut solo effort 151a, the eclectic artist, who previously toured backing both Regina Spektor and of Montreal, has become a…
Only a few weeks ago, Michigan hard rock revivalists Greta Van Fleet headlined Mercy Lounge, and a few months before that, made their Nashville debut at The High Watt. With just two EPs, both released last year, to their name, the young band seem fueled only by limitless potential and a stunning and well-deserved comparison to…
Nashville art rock band Fox Grin premiered their EP Dawn with us in early 2017, and since then the outfit have been playing plenty of live dates and steadily building buzz towards the release of their third album King of Spades. The duo celebrate the full length’s release at The East Room on Friday,…
