Nashville's Dead

The week ahead brings us a handful of great house and venue shows, including a show from Fox Fun plus the return of Nameless Fest with a whole slew of day shows,  night shows, locals, out of towners, art, music, wow more and more. I’m talking music from Yautja, Serration Pulse, Gnarwhal, CatFlaps, Husband Stitch, Essential Tremors, etc etc. and art from Story Beeson, Juliana Horner and Chelsea Velaga. Looking good. In the midst of things, Savoy Motel returns from their recent tour to play a free all-ages party on Friday. Then you have a choice on Sunday between Kevin Morby playing at 3rd and Lindsley and/or catching Western Medication after they return from their Midwest summer tour. See ya oot and aboot.

Man are we excited for Wednesday. Drove up to Murray last night to check out our friend Matt Parker’s show at Terrapin Station featuring some of the better punk bands happening rn, meeting in the middle from MS and IN in KY. Wow wow. And a couple of the MS folk are heading our way on Wednesday bringing Dating Problems and Mississippi Punk zines, tapes, shirts and Southern guilt/pride dichotomies. Anyway, see you at Blackbird. Also, be sure to check out our frens State Champion at Drkmttr too if Big Bleach ain’t ya bag. Friday kicks off the high school buds’ So Rare Fest benefitting other buddies in town – Friday at Glass Menage, Saturday at Meal Ticket. Then also on Saturday, Josh Gillis/Glad Fact brings Fire Retarded to Music City. May the inflated real estate prices bless and keep u
