Bonnaroo Band of the Day: Japandroids
•
Bonnaroo Artist | Japandroids Bonnaroo History | 2010 Stage & Time: | This Tent | Thursday | 10PM Japandroids are a bit of an accident. The Canadian garage/noise rock duo had effectively called it quits before their debut album, Post-Nothing, had even seen its proper release. After the record not only saw a wide release, but also was critically…

Get Hardcore at The Owl Farm Tonight with Shai Hulud!
•
Save for guitarist/founding member Matt Fox and, for most of their existence, bassist (and sometimes guitarist and vocalist) Matt Fletcher, Shai Hulud‘s members have always been in a state of flux. Even now, the modern hardcore legends don’t even officially have a lead singer; they’re currently touring with a fill-in. For most bands, this would be a…

Anna Haas @ The Basement 3.29.13
•
Watch out Nashville, Anna Haas is not to be underestimated. I had the good fortune to spend Good Friday night catching her early set at The Basement and it was good, indeed.

Get To Know: Brotherun
•
In the flood of emails that come through our digital gates, it’s often hard to find something (sometimes, anything) that truly sounds fresh and new. I mean, it’s hard enough just to listen to a lot of the stuff that we get, so, when we get our hands on something so atypical of any Nashville…

Bonnaroo Band of the Day: Death Grips
•
Bonnaroo Artist | Death Grips Bonnaroo History | Newbie Stage & Time: | The Other Tent | Saturday | 2:15PM To attempt to accurately describe Death Grips would almost certainly do the California band a disservice.

•
Bonnaroo Artist | Wild Nothing Bonnaroo History | Newbie Stage & Time: | The Other Tent | Sunday | 3PM Though he’s joined by a set backing band live, Wild Nothing is, for all intents and purposes, the complete brainchild of singer/multi-instrumentalist Jack Tatum.

Bonnaroo Band of the Day: John Fullbright
•
Bonnaroo Artist | John Fullbright Bonnaroo History | Newbie Stage & Time: | That Tent | Sunday | 1:30PM Before he was even out of high school, Oklahoma native John Fullbright had become a regular favorite at independent folk festivals.

Lollapalooza has announced its 2013 lineup, and it might just be the most exciting festival of the summer! The fest will take place…
