  • The Music We Needed

    The Music We Needed

    At The East Room with Lily Harden, Emilio and Loose Bolts  This week has been a particularly hard one for American cohesiveness.  The former President, Donald Trump, barely dodged a bullet during a rally several days ago. Instead of banning together and realizing that violence is never the answer to resolving our conflicts we became more…

    Eastside Bowl at “The 58” 

    with Luella, Wasp Eater, and Lydia Maes I walked into Eastside Bowl not knowing exactly what I would find.  Nashville sure does like its bowling alleys to feature live music and it is wonderfully nostalgic.  I’ve been to Brooklyn Bowl a few times now in Music City and it has always been a trip.  I…

    Friendship Commanders with The Jesus Lizard 

    At The Blue Room  It’s Thursday and another school night for this dude, but the music calls me out into the darkness once again.  It sounds a lot like a vampire novel is about to be penned here. It some sense my life sometimes feels like that.  It’s like my day job is just me…

    DEAD COOL AND STABBING WESTWARD

    MAY 12, 2024 at NEIGHBORHOOD THEATER, CHARLOTTE, NC I’ll be honest, I’ve always had an interesting time at Sunday night gigs. The crowds are usually a bitlackluster, maybe because too many people are already in Monday morning mode and their weekendfeels, effectively, over. That usually means that the shows can feel more intimate and up-close,…

    Punk Rock at Church

    Joey Valence & Brea, The Interrupters, and Sum 41 at The Ryman I caught a punk rock show at a church a few days ago and it was as kick as this sentence alludes to. I thought maybe I had heard wrong when I found out about Sum 41 and The Interrupters were playing at…

    Death Cab & Postal Service 

    Bridgestone Arena- April 29th– Nashville   How did I not know that this show was happening? Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service co headlining a tour and playing their most prolific albums in their entirety.

  • RSD Part Deux

    RSD Part Deux

    featuring Randy & The Mormons Welp, I said there would most likely be a part two to the Record Store Day story and now I am going to make that attempt. If you read that story than you know the overall experience that I had shopping and picking those treasures from The Groove Record Store.…
