Peelander-Z & Electric Eel Shock- Japanese Rock Comes to Nashville, Tonight @ Mercy Lounge
•
Peelander-Z are not an easy band to describe. They refer to themselves as “Japanese Action Comic Punk hailing from the Z area of planet Peelander.” That says more about their persona than their sound, and I’ll come back to that. Stylistically, the band plays a pretty no-frills, fast, high-energy old school flavor of punk rock.…

Regina Spektor returns to the Ryman | 11.11.12 | w/ Only Son
•
Nashville’s the kind of town where infamous events are kinda’ commonplace. Stuff of legend happens on the regular and it’s often pretty bizarre. Ryan Adams throws out a drunken heckler for demanding he play “Summer of ’69” (not cool, bro), John Mayer makes a tearful apology to his bandmates at Bridgestone Arena for his…

Machines Are People Too, Brandon Jazz & His Armed Forces, Sol Cat, and VanCo Tonight @ The High Watt
•
What’s in a name? I usually avoid the dissection of a band name. If it sounds good, it just fits and I use it without thinking about it. But this time, I had to go a few steps further. I heard the name Machines Are People Too (MRP2) through conversations of Chattanooga music lore, especially MRP2’s dance-till-you-drop…

Ponychase 10″ EP Release w/ Wild Cub and Hanzelle | Mercy Lounge | 10.8.12
•
It’s a new wave, America. Colorado is totally Rocky Mountain High, Marylanders are planning their Big Fat Gay Weddings, and Nashville is abuzz about a female fronted rock band that sorta’ sounds like ‘Til Tuesday! Ok, ok, everyone around here is probably sick of my relentless excitement around Ponychase — but PONYCHASE IS RELEASING…

Black Moth Super Rainbow, Tonight at Exit/In
•
Black Moth Super Rainbow are a band that really must be experienced live to be properly appreciated. Performing under very interesting personal stage names such as Tobacco and The Seven Fields of Aphelion, with a stage full of synthesizers and vocoders, the band has their psychedelic and enthralling sound down to a science. Their typical crowd is just…
