Celebrating its 30th anniversary, America’s original multimedia sensation Laser Spectacular Presents: The Music of Pink Floyd will be taking over Marathon Music Works on June 24. For the uninitiated, Laser Spectacular started their trippy tribute to one of the pioneering, and most popular psychedelic rock bands of all-time in San Antonio in 1986. As the…
Back in November, we geeked out at the news that classic rock guitarist Robin Trower would be bringing his insane guitar skills to a headlining show at Marathon Music Works on Friday, April 8. Although you may not know him by name, Trower is one of the most legendary British blues-rock guitarists in history. From his early days in rock group Procol…
For the last several years, Lightning 100 and Marathon Music Works have been teaming up every April to bring all of us the epic Marathon Village Block Party. As in years past, there will be an “indie Nash” spring market, full of locally owned, known, and loved venders, plus food trucks, some VIP options, and, it goes without saying, a…
Kurt Vile & The Violators w/ Xylouris White Marathon Music Works; Nashville, TN February 25, 2016 Words by Jacob Ryan (@GonzoWithGusto). Photos by Jake Giles Netter. Not surprising to anyone, Philly rocker Kurt Vile and his gang of friends, The Violators, rocked out at Marathon Music Works, and unless you snagged a ticket to the sold out show, you…
Thursday, March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day, and, per usual, Music City is celebrating the best way we know how: with a ton of great live show options. If local music is your thing (and if you’re reading this site, we know it is), there’s no better place to be than Marathon Music Works, where the fine…
Proggy, metallic alt rockers Coheed and Cambria just played Nashville last summer, but you’d be forgiven if you didn’t know that, given it was at the ill-fated Ink N Iron Fest. Their last true headliner came in 2012, in-between the two-part release of The Aftermath: Ascension and The Aftermath: Descension. It’s their latest and eight album, The Color Before the Sun,…
Australian hard rock trio Wolfmother, who, last year, celebrated the 10th anniversary of their eponymous debut album, are gearing up to release their fourth LP, Victorious, tomorrow, on Feb. 19. A followup to 2014’s New Crown, the record was produced by Brendan O’Brien, and features frontman and primary songwriter Andrew Stockade handling the bulk of instrumental duties, with session legends…
Like clockwork, you can always count on Boston-bred celtic punks the Dropkick Murphys to do something special for St. Patrick’s Day; typically a full-on tour, which has brought them to Music City at least twice in recent years, though not since 2013. This season, the Murphys are plotting an extra special run, celebrating not only St.…
We announced a few months back that breakout indie rocker Kurt Vile and his band The Violators would return to Nashville on Feb. 25, for a performance at Exit/In. As expected, that show promptly sold out, and, fortunately found a considerably larger home at Marathon Music Works (original tickets will still be honored). With support from Xylouris White, who we caught…
Nearly four years after a surprise reunion run in 2012, seminal post-hardcore group At the Drive-In recently made the announcement that they’re reforming once more, and this time around they’ll make it to Nashville, May 17 for a performance at Marathon Music Works! If that news alone isn’t enough to make you dust off your copy of Relationship of Command and…
