Poni Silver (of The Ettes) Talks Nashville Fashion Week
•
Nashville Fashion Week is right around the corner, and, you are surely asking yourself, why is this music blogger (who has no sense of fashion) writing about Fashion Week. Well, because Poni (aka Maria) Silver, the drummer from Nashville’s The Ettes, moonlights in the fashion world, and that is surely newsworthy. Also, I’m a…

The Evinrudes reunite | 2.22.13 @ 12th & Porter
•
Nashville’s current wave of awesome female-fronted bands (Alanna Royale, Luella and the Sun, The Electric Hearts, Ponychase, and more!) owe a possibly unknown debt of gratitude to their big sisters of the local rock scene that helped pave the way for their success in a (still) mostly male-dominated industry. Acts like Fleming & John…

It’s been a pretty crazy couple of weeks for Brittany Howard, huh? The Alabama Shakes (and Thunderbitch) frontwoman performed live in a Grammys ensemble that included Elton John last week. Though she and the band didn’t nab any of the three Grammys they were nominated for, this weekend they made their Saturday Night Live debut. And that’s…

Black Francis Wants To Be Your Valentine Tonight at Mercy Lounge
•
Has their been a more influential band than The Pixies? I would find it hard to argue against that, and I don’t think I stand alone in that sentiment. When The Pixies called it quits (read took a hiatus) in 1993, front man Frank Black (born with the far more regal name Charles Michael Kittridge…

The Kingston Springs Drop A Daytrotter Session
•
Those of you that have followed this rag for a while know that we’ve got a soft spot in our ears for The Kingston Springs. They were one of the first bands in Nashville that I promptly started bragging on when I began force feeding my musical opinions into your eyes, and that hasn’t…

Today in Media-Manufactured Celebrity Beef: The Black Keys vs. Bieber
•
So, as I’m sure you’re all well-aware, our hometown (by way of Ohio) boys The Black Keys took home 3 of the 5 Grammy awards they were nominated for on Sunday (and Dan Auerbach nabbed Producer of the Year). They also gave a fantastic performance with Dr. John and The Preservation Hall Jazz Band during the…

Torres Is Playing At Grimeys For Free today at 6pm
•
Those of you not at The Basement on Friday night (that includes us) have probably read all about local songstress Mackenzie Scott (d.b.a. Torres) over at Nashville Cream. While I was blissfully ear to ear smiling at The Belcourt Theater watching Dave Grohl (and dozens of other megastars) make unbelievable sounds on a particular…
