A NIGHT AT THE SHRINE

We just heard in the last month or so that Memphis’s Hi-Tone would be closing it’s doors pretty soon. That’s a pretty huge bummer. The venue has housed the last few years of GonerFests and we’ve seen some pretty sick shows go down in Memphis over there – so we’ll be sad to see it…

TY TIME AGAIN

Feels like we’ve been talking about this show since Ty’s last visit to town back in September [you all remember that though – rulingest party ever] But now it’s finally right around the corner, going down Monday night over at The End with Ex-Cult, Cheap Time, and Cy Barkley & The Way Outsiders.

Sometimes it’s the last minute surprises and shows that are the best – like this recently announced in-store going on tomorrow at Grimey’s New & Pre-Loved Records with Yo La Tengo.

SKINS AND SINS

We’ve really been counting down the days until Ty Segall’s next return to Nashville – it’s 12 not including today if any of you were wondering. Not just because it’s going to be super gnarly with Ty and Ex-Cult and Cheap Time and Cy Barkley, but because it’s happening over at The End and it’s…

READ TO ME

Ian Svenonius [who you probably know from Nation of Ulysses, The Make Up, Wierd War, Chain & The Gang, his old VBS show Soft Focus… guy does a lot] has a brand new book available from Akashic Books titled Super-Natural Strategies for Making a Rock ‘n’ Roll Group. As you probably gathered from the title…
