Nashville's Dead

What’s the deal? Is Glenn Danzig’s House the new place to do release shows or something? I mean, we don’t mind, we were just curious. Anyways, your favorite Nashville punks, Symptoms, are releasing a new 12″ and their having a big show on Saturday to celebrate. It’s limited to only 150 copies and you can definitely expect them to sell out QUICK. From what we’ve heard, we can say that the 12″ has easily become one of our favorite new releases. If that’s not reason enough to come to the show, check out the rest of that bill! Cheap Time, who’ve been on tour for the last bit, are making their way back from the West Coast and will be in town to spray some glammy gems along with the Heavy Creamers and Cy Barkley to top it off. See you there!

Alright, alright, alright… We’re back on the wagon this week. And it’s a good week to get back on because there’s lots of goods going down [Symptoms release show, Daniel Pujol/Nat Child release show, KK+BBQ/Those Darlins show] Anyways, enough jibber-jabber, let’s get down in the gritty.

You totally thought we weren’t going to post today, didn’t you? Well, suck it, cake-eaters. We just wanted to stop in and remind you about your favorite Natural Children’s in-store tomorrow afternoon at Grimey’s. It happens at 6PM and there will be free booze for the of-age crowd [Natty Lite for Natty Child?] Hit it up! It’ll be fun. Get off the toilet and go.

We’ve been bustin’ chops lately to try and keep up with our responsibilities [chores, homework, shows, shows, shows] You could’ve probably guessed that due to the lack of posts sometimes. I mean, we didn’t post anything yesterday and we didn’t even do The Rundown this week [Sorry] But things around here are going to change soonly. We’re working on re-vamping the place and kicking some kinks and making it pretty again [We know, it’s pretty. But it’s no street-boner] We’re also gonna increase the amount of posts around here [concerning Nashville shows, tours, releases, reviews, and non-Nashy music we dig] So yeah. Keep ’em peeled.

Great shows today! We played all the jams. Well, as many jams as you can play in like 45 minutes [You gotta figure in time for the required rotation music and talk breaks, knowwhatimean?] Anyways, enough chit-chat, here’s what we had for you.

So if you’re not going to Leonard Cohen tonight you’re probably going to Willie Nelson, right? And if you’re not going to Willie Nelson then you’re probably going to…. The Springwater! Duh. The Mattoid, Jim Cheney, and Escape From Craggy Knoll are hitting the stage tonight for some real party time rock and roll. It’s been a while since we’ve seen The Mattoid [They played with Jandek at the Basement last Friday, but we were a little busy with some other stuff] We very much encourage people to go out to this tonight, we’ve got a sneaking suspicion that it’s gonna be wild. Ya know? Yeah.

Man, we are just full of release news for you today. Daniel Pujol, one of this town’s best songwriters, is releasing a new cassette tape next week. It’s called Ringo, Where Art Thou? and it’s solid throughout. It’s primarily a compilation of demos that Daniel and his beaus have been working on over the past little while [If you’ve been to his myspace at all lately, you’ve heard some of the gems] The other thing about the cassette is that it’s practically a Wanted ad for a drummer for Daniel’s band. So if you like what Daniel’s laying down, get in touch with us at nashvillesdead[at]gmail[dot]com and we’ll get you in touch. Here’s a little sneak peek at the cassette with a free digi-downlow for Pujol’s song “Too Safe”

Well, it’s Leonard Cohen day in Nashville. Everywhere we go people are scrambling around trying to get tickets to see the old crooner. Check this out: WE’VE GOT A PAIR OF TICKETS TO GIVE AWAY! Just kidding. Seriously, please don’t email us about contest tickets. We already regret making that joke. Anyways, to get you ready for tonight…
