FORGET ME NOTS
Nots have been kicking around in Memphis for a couple years now, but it seems like they’ve recently decided to take things up a notch. The band, fronted by Manatees‘ Charlotte Watson and former Ex-Cult bassist Natalie Hoffmann, are in the midst of recording their debut LP and putting together a fall tour, but right now we’re plenty…
THE RUNDOWN – 6.23.2014 – 6.29.2014
Y’all been watching the World Cup? Us either. Sure, we used to play soccer…when we were in THIRD GRADE. Now we play ROCK AND ROLL music and go to ROCK AND ROLL shows. Tonight we’ll be at the Stone Fox for Guerilla Toss. Tomorrow is Jeff Tweedy at the Ryman, Wednesday brings shows for local faves…

DOUBLE DIGGING
Why have we never made a post about James Jackson Toth, known better by the the recording and performance moniker Wooden Wand? With countless releases on (literally) dozens of labels including Ecstatic Peace!, Kill Rock Stars, Woodsist, and Young God, he’s paid his dues several times over. He’s also one of the most masterful songwriters…
