Jonathon Kingsbury recently relaunched his website and it features a ton of photography of local bands – including plenty of stuff I’ve never seen for How I Became the Bomb, Protomen and The Features.Â
There is plenty more to see, including Backstage at Bonnaroo, Mat Kearney Tour photos and some music videos. So, get ready to spend some time with some quality imagery.
The 90’s are crazy hot right now. Just by happenstance, this new Tipper Whore video properly embraces that homebrewed, Fun For Fun’s Sake, vibe with a fully stop motioned hot dog extravaganza.Â
Is it a remix? Is it an atypical cover? Is it a tribute? There’s no way of properly categorizing it but this new Black Cat Sylvester IS a departure from his typical “two dudes at a turntable” video and, for that, he must be commended. The video is ridiculous but in the good, Intentionally Amusing, kind of way.
After teasing at it for a week, Mystery Twins have released their brand new video for “Ghost.” It’s a haunting, black-and-white, piece that captures the mood of the song in the most eerie manner. Absolutely gorgeous work.
Another quality preview from the forthcoming Evan P Donohue release, Stairway to Evan.
I am sure I will write a proper review when the album is fully released on Sept 16th but, for now, enjoy two tracks from Steelism’s forthcoming full-length, 615 to Fame. Also, take a peek at their Soundcloud to hear a few more tracks.
I’m just diving in but Unruly Factions appears to be that which WOTT yearns to be. A music blog exposing the truly worthwhile culture of Nashville. Robin Carnage, Bogus Bros, a photo blog and a helluva calendar. Consider myself a fan.
If there is one thing you can count on, it’s that when Jensen Sportag is handed a remix project, they will completely reinvent the original. It’s a power combo of Nashville bands that you wouldn’t expect to collab but the results are fascinating.
John Davis, Brandon Fisher and Nick Slack make up The Lees of Memory. If you aren’t familiar with any of those names, you haven’t been paying attention. Loving the shoegaze-y vibe of this latest project from the three powerhouses.
A day with a new NORM song is a good day indeed. Does this mean a full album is on the horizon or can we be satisfied with just the one morsel of enjoyable, summer, pop greatness.
Many years ago (2004), there was a strong contingent of instrumental post-rock all around Nashville. Emery Reel was always first class in their delivery of quiet tension exploding into a proper onslaught of sound. If you’ve not heard it before, now is your chance to make up for a hole in your musical repertoire. If you know it, there’s no better time than now to catch up with an old friend.
