The Anal Beatles destroyed (literally) The Basement last night
•
It was almost a joke for the packed house at The Basement last night. We had a last minute announcement about the “supergroup” called The Anal Beatles with members from Mumford and Sons, Old Crow Medicine Show, Apache Relay, and Matthew and The Atlas. It was billed as a “PunkAmeriAcapellaCana”, and I think most…

Van Halen to play Bridgestone Arena on April 27th
•
Van Halen is getting back together for another record, and another tour of some good, fun, screamy vocal, driving guitar, arena rock. I have a very distinct memory of being 13 years old and LOVING Van Halen. I had tickets to the Nashville date for the OU812 tour, and distinctly remember my parents and…

It’s 2012, and we have another installment in the Ovvio Arte parties called “Bleed The Ballroom”. These have to be some of the hippest parties going on in Nashville right now.

The Anal Beatles, The Basement, Tonight In Nashville

In a competition for the most disgusting band name, The Anal Beatles have finally provided some competition to Nashville rockers Diarrhea Planet, and they are playing their first (and possibly only) show as second on the bill at The Basement tonight in Nashville. No one knows very much about The Anal Beatles. I did…

Live Music Day 2012

Wolfgang’s Vault is probably the largest collection of live concert recordings on the web, so when they claim today (January 5th) to be Live Music Day, it is something equivalent to Hallmark making up “Buy Everyone A Card Day”. Regardless, it is an opportunity for us to talk about live music today, so I…

He invited the folks from the History Channel show American Pickers to horse trade for some of the rare collectibles from his collection.

New Music Releases -1/3/12
•
We continue in the holiday doldrums… shows are scattered few and far between, artists are tweeting about their cats more than their music, and the pickings for new music continues to be slim. While you can look forward to some great new releases that will be happening this winter, I’m only going to give…

Diamond Rugs inaugural show at The Earl in Atlanta
•
I had the pleasure of escaping my family holiday routine in Atlanta Thursday night to see Diamond Rugs inaugural show at The Earl in Atlanta, and let me tell you they did not disappoint. For those that don’t remember Diamond Rugs from our “Get to Know” post, they are a “supergroup” composed of Deer…

Get To Know: Battle Avenue
•
Music is very cyclical, and you constantly find artists recycling sounds into modern versions of older ideas. That is exactly what I thought of when I first heard Battle Avenue. It’s a growling rock and roll that grabs bits and pieces of the 90’s grunge sound with an updated sound that is full of…
