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.

Thy Love & Hatred for BLACK METAL 

Welcome Ghouls, Demons, and Fellow Wyrd Ones!! I have a Dark and Mysterious Tale for you all today. Embodying my Inner Crypt Keeper, I would like to guide you through a journey into the Abyss. A Left Hand Path spiraling downward into the Underworld, and your Darkest of Shadows, Truths and Skeletons. Down here you will meet one of my favorite Genres of the Alternative Realm. I Welcome you to my Black Metal World. To initiate you? I want to share with you the background behind this article. This article was initially intended to express a loving note for a specific band, another individual peer of mine, and my beloved Demonic King. I spent over three months delicately depicting a heartfelt review for a project personal to my Husband.

A Tale of Two Punk Rock Dreamers

The necessary Brick in the Wall to hold our foundation into manifestation of these Visions. And so, if my memory serves me well? I would say that I am pretty sure Mooney was not a fan of Melinoe upon first impressions. I cannot say I am surprised by that. I’m an Aquarius. I am not always as I seem to be in this dream. However, as many Green Days as I have had? I cannot be certain I have all the details properly lined up. How accurate are these memberberries? Accurate enough to come from the heart. For all I do remember? We had this Western Drama Shoot Out Moment. Her shock when she discovered I was a fan of Green Day (The Band, not the Herb. Although that bond matured in ethical timing), it was a monumental moment that blew Mooney’s mind. We became Best Friends, ready to do Karate in the Garage. Because I too was dumbfounded by the fact that she too LOVED Green Day

The Tale of Two Air Signs

Welcome Ghouls, Demons, and Fellow Wyrd Ones!! Behold another Love Letter. Another Writer Announcement for the leg of our Lively team at Rock Oracle. Let’s give a Warm Welcome to Stacy Lowry. My dearest Stacy, it is not your mom who’s got it goin’ on, it is you! My favorite Gemini. A true gift of Mercury anointed with Venus, Jupiter, Neptune and the Sun! I have adored the development of our Sisterhood. Unlike Mooney and I? Stacy and I have not known each other as long. Our Tale is still being written to the depth of Mine and Mooney’s. In fact, at the time we initiated your Coming of Age into Rock Oracle? We just celebrated our One Year Anniversary. It doesn’t feel like that short of time. I feel like our souls have known each other for aeons. Another soul making their way home, in typical Gemini fashion. Late, but just in time! Divine Time!
