Possessing the fun rock and roll spirit of the 1990’s, Penicillin Baby and Hoy Poloy Productions consummated their relationship with a lovechild that makes us wonder “just what the Hell happened to MTV?” It’s a simple recipe, offering a slightly-more mellow version of “Come As You Are,” with a sound that’s surf rock with…

After the Halloween winds, I’m not sure there is a single leaf on a tree in Nashville anymore. Yes, fall is in full force, and winter is showing it’s chilly head. While the number of outdoor events are cooling off, the clubs are heating back up with some amazing shows. We’ve talked quite a…

Though this is a pretty significant shakeup, it’s also an…

Local rockers Moon Taxi, who headlined the final installment of this season’s Live on the Green, have made countless festival appearances over the past few months, and have been seemingly gaining more and more buzz by the day (seriously, what an insane year they’ve had), just released a brand new, “Fan Appreciation Video” for…
