Why are indie band names so ridiculous? I just don’t really get it. I was having a couple of cold ones at The Village Pub with some new friends last night, and one mentioned they wanted to start a band named “The Chihuahuas Next Door”. See what I mean? Who knows… maybe people thought…

We had a wildly popular Bonnaroo Rumors post that we published back in November laying out the ground work for the rumor mill to start swirling about this year’s Roo. We had to append an update after The Beach Boys announced a reunion tour. Then things really started to heat up after Coachella announced…

I was really excited about seeing Kathleen Edwards tonight at Exit/In, and I was even more excited after reading the write up by Nashville Scene. I typically don’t like wordy write ups (as you may have noticed here), but that article was a great little diddy. Her newest record Voyager was one of our…

To see all the shows we recommended last night would have taken the effort of Popeye eating the Wilco Spinach. Our sole recommendation for tonight is at The End for Prophets & Kings, Scale Model, Lines in the Sky, & Gangster Rainbow. Chattanooga’s Prophets & Kings describe themselves as “electronic trash”, and they further…

Despite the weather, it’s another fine night for some great local acts. I’m swamped today, so we are going to quickly run through three venue lineups that I think will be pretty damn fun tonight. I’ve written about most of these bands, so I’ll just throw up some players to give your ears the…

We’ve talked quite a bit about Diamond Rugs, and we were lucky enough to catch their debut show in Atlanta last month. You know that we love us some Deer Tick too. And, how can anyone not love the fine work that Live and Reel is doing for the Nashville music scene? Somewhere over…

If you are a fan of live music, you probably already have this on your radar… White Denim is returning to play Nashville’s Mercy Lounge on April 8th (yeah, that’s Easter Sunday). If you aren’t familiar this Austin, TX psych rock band, then you can check out a great live recording below of “Street…

What would do you think might happen is the hairsprayed 1980’s collided with the bearded present? Well, you might end up with anthemic arena rock harmonized by hipsters. And, in case you want some audio visual support for that brain cramp you are having right now, check out the video below that was forwarded…

Last night was a plethora of music in the Music City. It started for me with Night Beds and Madi Diaz at Revolver before I rolled over to the Basement to catch sets by Megan Jean and KFB, Paranormals, Electric Hearts, and The Sheepdogs. That’s six bands in a matter of four hours… life…

The Basement runs a weekly event called New Faces Nite for up and coming bands to get out and play in the “becoming legendary” Nashville venue. It’s free for all (of age), and is one of the best events in town for checking out the up and coming bands from Nashville and beyond. Tonight…
