We know we’re hitting you a little late this week, but whatever. We got tied up yesterday solidifying the next Nashville’s Dead Records release [more on that later though — but believe us, you’ll be stoked] This week’s got a whole lot of stuff going on: our buddies are in town for a Soul Clap tonight, Southside Stranglers are back in town, some Memphis boos are hanging out, and that’s all before we even hit the weekend. Check it out down there and we’ll see you ’round town.
