Mineral @ fooBAR // 11.14.14 If you’ve driven by long running East Nashville dive bar and show space fooBAR this week, you’ve likely noticed an eye-catching new paint job. As it turns out, the new look isn’t an attempt to spruce up an old bar, but, instead, is the signal of its transformation into a different…
We’ve been bringing you news on Waterfall Wash since their first “jam sessions” at The Basement. Since then, we’ve seen watched the band of friends transform their sound from jammy folky fun into one of the tightest indie rock outfits in Nashville. In the three years since their inception, we are now blessed with…

If you’re looking to go to the divey-est of dive bars to hear some laid-back melodic music to relax after a long work week,…
There are few things as unpleasant as sulking back to the office with a New Year hangover. Returning to the grind can really get in the way of that holiday groove we all work so hard to get right. If you managed to survive the post-holiday blues, we have just the thing to get…
Holy crap! Did that really happen last night? My clothes still smell like smoke, the hangover is lingering like a dead skunk under the porch, and my melted face is a puddle on the floor. It was all worth it though for the return of Thunderbitch! No Country stayed out late last night for…
In the humpday highlights, Cass McCombs is returning to Nashville tonight to play East Nashville’s FooBar. This traveling folk master was in town at The Basement last summer to play, and he is back tonight in the eclectic confines of FooBar. I am not going to spend too much time telling you why you…
