It has been one of those weeks that you want to break up with because of its caustic personality. We can’t believe it is already Friday. No one is complaining, of course, but it felt like the weekend would never arrive, and now you can’t believe it is already here. Well, buckle in kids,…

Bonnaroo Artist | Japandroids Bonnaroo History | 2010 Stage & Time: | This Tent | Thursday | 10PM Japandroids are a bit of an accident. The Canadian garage/noise rock duo had effectively called it quits before their debut album, Post-Nothing, had even seen its proper release. After the record not only saw a wide release, but also was critically…

Though neo-psychedelic rockers The Flaming Lips are prepping to drop their thirteenth (or fifteenth, depending on how you’re counting) album, The Terror, in just two short weeks, the group just debuted a brand new video for “Ashes in the Air” from last year’s The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends collaboration album. The video, which features Bon Iver‘s face…

Save for guitarist/founding member Matt Fox and, for most of their existence, bassist (and sometimes guitarist and vocalist) Matt Fletcher, Shai Hulud‘s members have always been in a state of flux. Even now, the modern hardcore legends don’t even officially have a lead singer; they’re currently touring with a fill-in. For most bands, this would be a…

Bonnaroo Artist | Death Grips Bonnaroo History | Newbie Stage & Time: | The Other Tent | Saturday | 2:15PM To attempt to accurately describe Death Grips would almost certainly do the California band a disservice. Alternative/experimental rap? Not really. Though frontman Stefan Burnett goes by the pseudonym MC Ride, to call his delivery or aim rap would be to…

Bonnaroo Artist | Wild Nothing Bonnaroo History | Newbie Stage & Time: | The Other Tent | Sunday | 3PM Though he’s joined by a set backing band live, Wild Nothing is, for all intents and purposes, the complete brainchild of singer/multi-instrumentalist Jack Tatum. Tatum went from his dorm room-recorded, surprise breakout debut Gemini in 2010 to his hyped and massively…

Bonnaroo Artist | John Fullbright Bonnaroo History | Newbie Stage & Time: | That Tent | Sunday | 1:30PM Before he was even out of high school, Oklahoma native John Fullbright had become a regular favorite at independent folk festivals. Hailing from Okemah, the birthplace of folk pioneer Woody Guthrie, the young singer’s influence of classic folk and Americana is seamlessly funneled into a more contemporary…

Why any major festival would announce its lineup on April Fool’s Day is beyond me, but based on the all of the leaks in recent weeks, we’re going to count this as official. Lollapalooza has announced its 2013 lineup, and it might just be the most exciting festival of the summer! The fest will take place…

Who doesn’t like music festivals in the summer time? We do, we do!!! Another set of Nashville party folks, Neoteric Nashville, have stepped it up, and are putting a pretty fun little shindig over at The East Room (of East Nashville Underground fame). We’re talking 12 bands over 2 stages and it’s hosted by…

Another week has come and gone, and, if you are like us, you are in dire need of some weekend. If you aren’t chasing kids and hidden eggs around the yard, then you’ll likely spend your evenings chasing bands around Nashville. At least that is what we are going to be doing. We have…
