  • Bonnaroo Band of the Day: Ariel Pink

    Bonnaroo Artist | Ariel Pink Bonnaroo History | Newbie Stage & Time: | This Tent | Thursday | 7PM Although “Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti” was originally billed when Bonnaroo announced their lineup, the bill now simply lists Ariel Pink. Exactly what this means and what prompted the change is not entirely clear, but we’re going to assume it’s deliberate- meaning Ariel Pink is…

  • Bonnaroo Band of the Day: Clockwork

    Bonnaroo Artist | Clockwork Bonnaroo History | Newbie Stage & Time: | The Other Tent | Saturday | 12:30PM We admittedly aren’t as plugged into the young EDM scene that’s been exploding over the past few years, commanding a huge teenage and college following, and creeping its way into festivals all over the world, including Bonnaroo, as we are…

  • TWiN | This Weekend In Nashville | 3/22 – 3/24

With her solid…

  • Check out Alt-J’s Lightning 100 Session

    Were you lucky enough to be in the packed Cannery Ballroom on Monday night for British sensations Alt-J?  We were there and I can’t say much about their live show.  Maybe they were as freaking tired as I was in that hot, packed room, but their live show didn’t relate to me the same…
