Machines Are People Too: A Brief Interview and Show Review.
•
Before Machines Are People Too (MRP2) took the stage at The High Watt last Thursday, I had the chance to ask them some questions about their band and their music. NC (No Country): How did you choose your band name? MRP2: When the band first started, it was me (Bryan Sylvester) and JJ Clark. We…

Peelander-Z & Electric Eel Shock- Japanese Rock Comes to Nashville, Tonight @ Mercy Lounge
•
Peelander-Z are not an easy band to describe. They refer to themselves as “Japanese Action Comic Punk hailing from the Z area of planet Peelander.” That says more about their persona than their sound, and I’ll come back to that. Stylistically, the band plays a pretty no-frills, fast, high-energy old school flavor of punk rock.…

Daniel Ellsworth and The Great Lakes hit the road again, plan Daytrotter session: Interview ensues!
•
Daniel Ellsworth and The Great Lakes are an awesome group of transplants from all over that now call Nashville home. They’re about to hit the road yet again in support of their new album, Civilized Man, and we had the chance to check-in with them before they left town for a 15-city adventure that…

Regina Spektor returns to the Ryman | 11.11.12 | w/ Only Son
•
Nashville’s the kind of town where infamous events are kinda’ commonplace. Stuff of legend happens on the regular and it’s often pretty bizarre. Ryan Adams throws out a drunken heckler for demanding he play “Summer of ’69” (not cool, bro), John Mayer makes a tearful apology to his bandmates at Bridgestone Arena for his…

This Weekend In Nashville: Nov 9-11
•
First off, for those of you that haven’t taken notice, we’ve grown! So, please take the time to welcome Jessika and Philip to the mix. If you haven’t taken notice, and just thought that Andrew and I had adopted numerous voices, then, well, sorry to disappoint. In other news, it is Friday, and I…

New Release Spotlight | 11.6.12
•
New feature alert. We know keeping up with new releases can be a chore, especially this time of year. The fall is so jam packed that it can be tough to keep track of what’s coming out, much less sort through and find the best records. Each week, one of our newest contributors, Philip, is…

Ponychase 10″ EP Release w/ Wild Cub and Hanzelle | Mercy Lounge | 10.8.12
•
It’s a new wave, America. Colorado is totally Rocky Mountain High, Marylanders are planning their Big Fat Gay Weddings, and Nashville is abuzz about a female fronted rock band that sorta’ sounds like ‘Til Tuesday! Ok, ok, everyone around here is probably sick of my relentless excitement around Ponychase — but PONYCHASE IS RELEASING…

Black Moth Super Rainbow, Tonight at Exit/In
•
Black Moth Super Rainbow are a band that really must be experienced live to be properly appreciated. Performing under very interesting personal stage names such as Tobacco and The Seven Fields of Aphelion, with a stage full of synthesizers and vocoders, the band has their psychedelic and enthralling sound down to a science. Their typical crowd is just…

The Civil Wars Cite Irreconcilabile Differences…
•
First Khloe and Lamar, and now Joy and JP? What is the world coming to? Ok, full disclaimer here, I have no idea what is going on in the life of Khloe or Lamar, and I’m pretty sure that I am not good enough friends with The Civil Wars John Paul White to call…

King Tuff, Gap Dream, & Fletcher C Johnson, Tonight at The Stone Fox
•
King Tuff is becoming some sort of Nashville institution. I guess it must have all started when King Tuff’s Kyle Thomas was playing at Springwater last summer with Hunx and His Punx (which apparently we were too lazy to write about). Then we had the Stone Fox opener that didn’t happen, and ended up…
