“Nimrods” A Green Day Film & Soundtrack Review

The Movie itself is a wonderful, nostalgic experience. Reminding me of a childhood comfort film, “Crossroads” with Britney Spears. “Nimrods” mimics that same flow of plot build up. Creating mythos worthy obstacles that build the confidence of the young performers into the successful achievement of their Labors along the Hero’s Journey of their Dreamiest Visions. Ensuring to embrace the naturally cheesy or corny moments in life with an upbeat essence throughout the entirety of the film. There was an enriching emotional element behind the story that is more Punk Rock than any superficial macho shit-head would like you to believe. As a Green Day Fan-Girly, I adored the nuggets of truth I knew were a mirrored aspect of the band’s story. It was Generationally healing to experience how the band passed the torch onto the New Age.

Let’s Get Weird One More Time!

The complexity of the music paints abstract grooves and scratches scores of stories we have all wanted to behold. Their voices add to the fray and slap on yet another layer of gorgeous convolution. Izaac has a raspy, robotic element piped into his microphone that heightens this mystical adventure.  His words seem to bounce around the room and crash through any physical barriers. Gabrielle is not to be missed on the other side of this team.  She brings forth an element of soul, hitting high angelic notes and phenomenally constructed primal screams.  She dances graciously between notes and vocals.  She is in the moment.  We are all in the moment.

August Tarot of the Month – Mandrake – A Love Letter to Music and its Creators

Music can produce such intense responses for listeners – we know this to be true – but have you considered what that experience is like for the creators? Composing the notes and rhythms, building the songs from the ground up … musicians pour parts of their soul into the music they share out. As consumers, it’s easy to take elements like that for granted, of course.

Meghan Pulles: New Single and New Record

 I can honestly say that Pulles has left everything on the table and has come at us with a record from a deeply emotional place and ‘The Midhaven’ is just a sample of her putting her vulnerability on display so that the world may not only empathize together but also begin to heal through human connection. When the single drops,there will also be a gorgeously shot, black and white video, to accompany it. This is the first time that Pulles has released a video and a single on the same day. Meghan’s voice floats in the atmosphere and invites you to take part in the feast of her magical lyrics. Her words are a sonnet filled with staggering imagery that invokes heartfelt sentiment.

Artist Review | Kingfishr

If you’ve learned anything from my handful of articles, it’s probably this: my feet may be planted firmly on American soil, but my heart has always belonged to Ireland. There’s something about the people, the stories, and the music that keeps calling me back. Supporting the fiercely talented, resilient, and endlessly authentic artists coming out of Ireland isn’t just something I enjoy, it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about. Thankfully, bands like Kingfishr make that passion ridiculously easy.

Hot Ticket Set to Open in East Nashville 

Programs involving painting, writing, sculpting, sewing, and other art-minded gatherings could be offered in time.  This is for people to get off their screens and get involved with their neighbors. Bond made sure to let me know that one policy would be “no phones on the dance floor”.  Hot Ticket will be about staying present and living in the moment. Bond regaled about her time as amusician, “I remember when people danced at our shows.  Nobody dances at shows anymore.  If someone starts dancing now, people are like ‘what are you doing?’” As an artist, a fan and a patron of other spots around Nashville, Bond leans into shifting the paradigm. She went on to add, “We all feed off each other’s energy and being in a smaller and more intimate space for that is vital”.  LGTBQ+ events will also be a focal point for Bond and McCoy.  There are promises of Queer Dance Parties and Drag Brunches among those festivities.
