THE RUNDOWN 6.10 – 6.14
Wow, sorry for late post this week. Promise, mom, it won’t happen again. Our spirits are lifted tonight in anticipation of European sons Iceage and Austin crew Institute appearing tonight at The End. Later this week brings the continuation of CMA Fest, Bonnaroo week BUTTTT also Quintron & Miss Pussycat and Savoy Motel at the Stone Fox on…
Unholy You
Tomorrow night is one not to be missed, ladies and gentlemen. Unholy Two are bringing their brand of Midwest loud (like, I mean, not just sonic but visual and visceral loudness) music to Nashville. You would be doing yourself a disservice to miss this show and we expect to see all you corndogs there. To make…
EVERYTHING UPSTREAM
Ben Parks is one of our favorite dudes around. As a veteran member of the city’s pop contingent (Fox Fun, OGG, Sunseeker, etc. etc. etc.), he’s definitely a familiar face and bud for local show-goers. This week begins a new opportunity to get him out from behind the drum kit, where he already shines, to see him take…

You Never Satisfy
Why are we so stoked for Kintaro (feat. Natural Child’s Wez and Zack and Way Outsiders’s Josh Shearon) to play their first show since brief blaze of glory from 2008-09? Maybe a little bit because they were named after Street Fighter and still are the only thing we listen to while playing that game. Maybe a little bit because they were…
The Chosen Ones
Sup Halloweeeeeeners. So, as you know, there were a buncha free shows/parties going on Halloween with some of Nashville’s finest struttin their stuff, which is important and awesome and how things should be all the time. Equally important/awesome/how things should be is the good fortune of a sick touring band, which we had the chance to catch…
Honor Thy Hermycaf
We received some very sad local news this weekend. Ms. Linda, the kind-hearted waitress at downtown staple all-night diner Hermitage Cafe, has recently been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. If you have not had the pleasure of spending time at Hermitage, there’s really nothing not to love about it. From the generous artist-budget meal of biscuits and coffee to…
Reunited and It Feels So Gooood
We love Daniel Pujol. Not only is he one of the hardest working dudes (not to mention musicians) in our fair city, but he also is seemingly always open to the re-interpretation of his world. Daniel will be the best professor. The Pooj’s ability to effectively imagine is evidenced in his newest project, a remix of his second LP…
September Bois
So this week in the land of Jubilee, we have a deal called Americana Fest going on, basically meaning there’s a long line at Arnold’s all week. In addition to longer lines at your favorite meat and threes, we were just as surprised as stoked to find out that drummer Jody Stephens of Big Star, which…
