Oh man. If there were ever any question as to whether the Infinity Cat Showcase was the best showcase of Next Big Nashville, you better believe no one’s wondering about it now. That was the best show this town has seen all year [regardless of local or touring acts] You’re a lucky city, Nashville. Very lucky. Check out photos from Bekah Cope below [We only employ photographers that can get down in the gritty. Sometimes this leads to the flash getting knocked around and light leaks. But, whatever, those JEFF pictures look like they’re playing in Hell]
WHAT A SHOW: NBN INFINITY CAT SHOWCASE [IN PICS, DUH]
BAD NEWS DUDES
HEAVY HEAVY
TV GHOST COAST TO COAST
Ay yi yi babies, we are still so sore from the other night. But it was totally worth it. We’ve got some photos that we’re going to try and get up today [Don’t be upset if they’re not though. We already took them to get developed once but the developers got at our goats with their shoddy workmanship. It’s what we get for using film I guess.] Lots of good shows this week for you, including the Heavy Days release show. THE HEAVY DAYS RELEASE SHOW.
NB-END
What a show. Last night’s Infinity Cat Records showcase was the best show we’ve seen this year [That’s saying alot, we’ve been to a ton of shows this year] We’ll have a full onslaught of goods for you tomorrow documenting the chaos that was last night. If you were there, you know what we’re talking about. I mean, I did 4 stage dives during “Dogbite” alone [And that song is only like 1:30 long] If you’re not too hungover or in the hospital, go to Little Hamilton tonight to catch Atlanta’s Coathangers, it’s gonna be a party. What a show.
We know, we know… It’s not Thursday anymore. We had to go straight from our radio show to babysitting. Seriously. Don’t knock us for it. We only babysit for the raddest kids though. Anyways, here’s this week’s playlist.

CHRISTMAS ISLAND
A couple years ago our buddy Nathan Vasquez showed us this really rad band from San Diego and we’ve been listening to them non-stop since then. Christmas Island are a two piece [but Chris steps in for the live band] that make some great jangly beach jams. But don’t be tricked, Brian’s words could break your little heart. We were lucky enough to finally catch them this past SXSW since they rarely ever leave the West Coast. We’re working on fixing that though. They’ve put out a couple of 7″s, most recently the “Nineteen” single on Captured Tracks and their debut full-length, Blackout Summer, just came out on In The Red. And is that not the best band-logo ever?
