One of the most prolific, beloved, and recognizable film composers of the last several decades (only John Williams, perhaps, carries more name recognition), German-born, Los Angeles based multi-faceted talent Hans Zimmer wet his feet in the ’80s new wave scene while dabbling in early film score work before his Oscar-nominated score for 1988’s Rain Main propelled him into…

Louisville garage punks White Reaper hold the distinction of headlining what was perhaps our most memorable and most chaotic Acme showcase ever, bringing their energetic and unpredictable live show to the downtown rooftop back in 2015 (their first Music City show aside from a Grimey’s in-store), along with Daddy Issues and Jawws.

Like many groups who disappeared for decades, only to resurface a generation later, beloved British sensation The Zombies might be hard to keep up with. Muddied further by decades of imposer acts trying to play under their name, the band, who initially broke up in 1967, reunited intermittently in the ’90s, and have been in full reunion…
