In the nine album catalog of indie/alt rock/emo turned power pop legends Weezer, three of those full-lengths are simply and officially called Weezer. Because of this, fans (and the band) have taken to referring to them by their colors: Blue, Green, and Red, respectively. A fourth self-titled effort, and the group’s tenth album overall has just been…

Heavy metal legend and shock rock pioneer Alice Cooper just played Nashville in the fall of 2014, opening for Mötley Crüe, but it’s been awhile since he last made his way to Music City with top billing.

Seattle-based surf-tinged poppy punk outfit Tacocat fell onto our radar in 2014, with the release of their criminally underrated sophomore album NVM, and subsequent tour that brought them to The Stone Fox. Much to our delight, the buzzworthy up and comers have just announced plans to release a new album, Lost Time, April 1 via Hardly Art, and will return…

We had a blast at this year’s inaugural Pilgrimage Music & Culture Festival in nearby Franklin, and had high hopes that the freshman event would go over well enough to continue for many years to come. Despite perhaps being slightly less attended than hoped for (though nowhere near the lows at fellow first time event Ink N…

Three rock legends and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Heart, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, and Cheap Trick have announced a lengthy summer tour, aptly dubbed the “Rock Hall Three For All,” which passes through Music City as it winds down at the end of the summer, Sept. 19 at Ascend Amphitheater. We surely don’t need to fill you in about…
