Stream Animal Collective’s ‘Centipede Hz’ and Watch The Video for “Today’s Supernatural”
•
Animal Collective is set to release, Centipede Hz, their first record in three years on September 4th via Domino. It is as experimental as anything we’ve heard from these guys, and, after watching the video for “Today’s Supernatural” below, I’m pretty sure they have been taking excessive amounts of drugs for the past three years…

Denney & The Jets EP Release & Tour
•
We’re pretty big fans of the beer drinking twang rockers Denney & The Jets over here, and it’s great to hear that they just released a self titled EP on Limited Fanfare Records. Of course, no release would be complete without a big ‘ole fun tour to go along with it. Chris Denney &…

•
By Contributor Andrew Johnson I saved my energy over the weekend for this interesting Monday night lineup at Exit In. You can grab your $7 tickets here, or at the doors starting at 8pm. Here’s the skinny: Hanzelle is described as electro-chamber rock, which I think is only halfway correct. For some parts of…

Spiritualized covers JJ Cale
•
This is not really blog worthy because it happened over 20 years ago. However, I just heard it for the first time the other day, and it was stuck in my head all weekend. Back in 1991, a very young Spiritualized dropped their rendition of JJ Cale’s “Call Me The Breeze” in a single…

East Nashville Underground Run Down
•
From beers to bands to porn stars… East Nashville Underground continued to grow into an amazing little festival this season. I didn’t even spend the entire weekend there, but I felt completely embraced and at home at the new event space over on Gallatin (The East Room). It was unfortunate that some snitch ratted…

This Weekend In Nashville, August 17-19
•
We’ve spent quite a bit of time getting you ready for this weekend already. Remember that whole East Nashville Underground wristband giveaway that we were running. Well, that’s over with, but there are still full-weekend, free-drinks included wristbands available for $20 at the door. I’m still blown away everytime I say that. It’s two…

Heypenny, Umbrella Tree, Daniel Ellsworth And The Great Lakes at the High Watt Tonight
•
By Contributor Andrew Johnson Tonight, Friday August 17, Heypenny, Umbrella Tree and Daniel Ellsworth And The Great Lakes take the stage at the High Watt. I will be in attendance. A few words about the bands: Heypenny is about well-crafted busyness. Busyness of colors, lyrics, musical instrumentation, on stage antics, video dance moves and…

JEFF The Brotherhood Announces Headlining Tour
•
Local day drinkers JEFF The Brotherhood are heading out west for the month of October for a string of headlining dates with Nashville’s Diarrhea Planet. Don’t worry about that name west-y pals… I heard it described last night as Van Halen punk rock, and I’d have to give the four guitar band a solid…
