Floating Action w/ Natalie Prass & Bryan Cates @ The Stone Fox Tonight.
•
Floating Action, the moniker for the music of outdoor sportsman and red-bearded mountaineer Seth Kaufman, features tunes rooted in adventure, nature, distant travels, biking, snowboarding, and other outdoor endeavors. But it could also be Seth Kaufman‘s personal outdoor life soundtrack, as I envision him being the quintessential outdoorsman as the star of the music videos for his songs.…

Forgetters (Blake Schwarzenbach of Jawbreaker) Coming to Birmingham! | Thursday, 1.10.13
•
This show isn’t until Thursday, but since I’m about to make the case for a 3 hour drive through Alabama, I wanted to give you a couple of days to plan for it. You might remember how much I loved Forgetters‘ self-titled debut LP back in November. At the time, just the record alone…

fun. Streams New Song for HBO’s ‘Girls’ Soundtrack
•
If you haven’t heard fun. by now, you must be living under a rock (or you don’t own a tv- seriously, did I miss the memo where advertisers were only allowed to use songs by fun. or Lana Del Rey last year?). For the uninitiated, fun. might seem like a radio rock construct that appeared…

The Black Keys Announce Nashville Show w/ The Flaming Lips, Eye Spring Release for New Record (UPDATED w/ Presale Info!)
•
As reported by SPIN, Billboard, and our friends over at the Nashville Scene, The Black Keys, who we like to claim as a hometown band, have just announced a show at Bridgestone Arena on Friday, May 3. The show is part of a special string of dates with psych-rockers The Flaming Lips (a pairing I’m…

TWiN | This Weekend In Nashville | 1/4 – 1/6
•
It’s time for another run down of TWiN. Damn, that came around quick, didn’t it? You are probably all still laid up licking your wounds from the last minutes of 2012, but remember, after this weekend, you get back to long work weeks with no relief in sight… until the next weekend. So, here’s a…

Ill Patriot, Sexx, The Tendoor, and McKenzie Gregg & the Tangles @ Exit/In Tonight
•
Ill Patriot is bang-your-head, politics-on-your-sleeve punk/hardcore music that is reminiscent of the melodic in-your-face approach of punk rockers Propagandhi, although Ill Patriot certainly has an aggressive hardcore side that sets them apart. I can see the mosh pits forming in my mind, and I’m trying to avoid them until I can’t take it anymore…

A Live Cuts Christmas, featuring The Hillbilly Casino | Tonight @ Parlour & Juke
•
Parlour & Juke is the reason my hair always looks so fantastic (seriously, have you guys seen my hair? shout-out to Savannah!). With an expert staff, offbeat and captivating decor, and a cozy little location on Cannery Row (not to mention the free beer you’re offered while you wait!), it should come as no surprise that…

The Protomen | Tonight @ 12th & Porter
•
The Protomen are a somewhat mysterious group of Nashville-based musicians who adopted pop culture-referencing stage names and craft technical ’80s-style rock operas inspired by the videogame Mega Man. If that sentence does not pique your interest, there’s a good chance you’re not The Protomen’s target demographic. If it does, there’s a good chance that you already know and…

TWiN: This Weekend In Nashville |12/21-12/23
•
I’m not wasting a single second on the intro to this blog post. The world is ending today. I’m so certain that it is going to happen that I’m quitting this job, and spending the day with drugs and hookers. Wish me luck. If you had different plans, here’s your weekend rundown. We have a…

Reverend Horton Heat w/Hillbilly Casino and Rickett Pass @ Exit/In Tonight
•
Even though I’m not a modern country music fan, lately I’ve been a fan of musicians with tasteful and/or jaw-dropping chops that make their living playing offshoots of country music, which include bluegrass, Americana, Western swing, and rockabilly. Reverend Horton Heat has those types of musicians, and certainly could be called rockabilly. But they’ve taken the “rock” in…
