Maybe it’s because yesterday was my 27th birthday and I’m hitting my “oh my God, I’m almost 30” freak-out moment; but regardless of the reason, when hearing that Hoobastank was coming to town, boy oh boy did my high school memories come flying back.

Remember us telling you about that East Nashville Underground Festival a few months ago? Well, it’s a new season, new bands, new beer, new crib…. same awesome!

The lineup tonight looks something like this… Bambora (or is it Bambara?), The Decadence, Golden Sounds, Keelan Donovan, Honeyboy and Boots, and Adventure The Great. I…

We will talk more about each of these before the respective…

It’s a busy Monday night on Cannery Row. The ironically named Tallest Man On Earth is playing downstairs at Cannery, and the traditional Monday night 8 off 8th showcase is happening at The High Watt. However, you will probably hear A Place To Bury Strangers from the Mercy Lounge stage all over that building.…

In the backlog of requests that we constantly battle, I finally got the chance to check out the new video for “Bait” by Nashville’s Altered Stateman, and it is pretty damn awesome. With a sound that evokes Beck and Ariel Pink, this is definitely a band that I am going to keep my eye…
