THE RUNDOWN – 7.14.2014 – 7.20.2014
Pretty alright week ahead of us. Lampchop is performing Nixon at the Basement twice tomorrow, the Black Lips and PUJOL are at Exit/In on Thursday while there’s also a solid show at the Basement that night. Folk legend Peter Walker and local legend William Tyler are playing at Third Man on Friday, and SPACE IS THE PLACE…
THE RUNDOWN – 7.7.2014 – 7.13.2014
Reekris…look at the shows at Exit/In, Fond Object, the Mouthhole, and the End tonight alone. You’d think that would be enough good shows to last the entire week, but it can’t stop (won’t stop) there. Vacant Future and more are at Stone Fox tomorrow, Fox Fun and Study Hall play at the Stone Fox on…
NOBODY’S FOOL
It’s not often that we break away from our usual private pressing, Party God, punk-drunk-love dribble, but we saw something special last night. There’s no denying that Nashville has undergone a sea change in the last few years. Twenty-somethings and creative-types have flocked in by the hundreds, older homes have given way to skinny condos,…
Northeast Texas Women
Good news everyone! Light in the Attic will be releasing another awesome bout of funky country songs, in the aptly named Country Funk Vol. 2 compilation.

Compiled by LA coolguy Zach Cowie of Turquoise Wisdom, Country Funk Vol….

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…
Sporting Lads
It’s no secret that we’re big fans of basically anything that Orville Neeley and his crew of Austin rock’n’rollers touch. The latest release from Bad Sports on Dirtnap Records — excellently titled “Bras” — sounds like a Dictators record featuring Paul Collins. It’s a direction for the band that we can’t wait to see in person. You’ll have the chance…
