Several days ago, influential singer Morrissey was hospitalized in Michigan for an unspecified condition. Initial reports only indicated that his January 24-26 shows (Flint, Minneapolis, and Chicago) had been cancelled, and incorrectly reported the reason as “a bandmate’s illness.” At least one show, January 24’s scheduled Flint, MI stop currently has no rescheduled date and fans have…

With this, Roo Clue Number 8, we’ve finally all caught up on Bonnaroo’s lineup guessing game. Bonnaroo typically announces their lineup in mid-February, so I’m guessing that we only have 4 more of these to go. Much like yesterday’s clue, this one feels pretty easy. I’m betting whoever is running the marketing is swamped getting…

We’ve only one new clue, scheduled to be released sometime today, left to solve (which I’ll tackle tomorrow), then we’re finally all caught up on Roo Clues! Here’s Roo Clue #7! After a little uncertainty on #6 (though I still feel pretty confident the answer is Of Monsters and Men), clue #7 feels like…

Save for the occasional, well-deserved, couple year break, prog-rock pioneers Rush have toured pretty relentlessly since releasing their first album nearly four decades ago. With a commendable 25 tours under the belt, Rush have managed to make it to Nashville a dozen time previously. Not a bad ratio for Music City! Past shows have included…

Here’s yet another addition to our Roo Clue catchup game. Roo Clue #6 was released last week and, as is the norm for Thursday clues, came from Radio Bonnaroo, the Bonnaroo app, and this video: Here’s the haiku: Two fathers sit still, Deep in the fields of lava, Waiting for the scream. Ok, I’ll…

I’m gonna come straight out and say it… sometimes, we all get a little bit too caught up in our dreamy-electro-synth-pop babble, and it’s time to get back to what made you a music fan in the first place. There’s a time when you need to dig out those wax-crusted ear plugs from your…

That’s right, legendary punks Bad Religion and contemporary innovators Against Me! are set to perform in Nashville in March! This marks Bad Religion’s first ever Music City show in the band’s 33-year existence. Against Me! have performed in Nashville previously, but this will be the band’s first stop in town since singer Laura Jane Grace (formerly…

Prominent up and coming pop punk groups The Story So Far and Man Overboard had scheduled a Nashville date at Rocketown as part of their upcoming “Suppy Nation” national tour. In light of yesterday’s firing controversy involving an employee named Wes Breedwell, the bands have pulled their show from the venue. Here’s the announcement, as posted on The Story…

Continuing our Roo Clue a day catchup goal for the week, here’s Bonnaroo’s Roo Clue #5, which was first posted last week. As is typical for Tuesday clues, it was hidden in a real-world location: this time, at the Dallas Zoo. Here’s Bonnaroo’s initial image post for where to find the clue: And here’s the…
