POLY

Poly is a new band featuring Dan Sommers (ex-Hot Pipes), Larissa Maestro and Eleonore Denig. They’re releasing a new 3-song 7″ and performing at Grimey’s. The Nashville Scene says Larissa has a voice like “a damn Disney princess” and describes Poly thusly, “[they] play sweetly quirky little ragtime-, classical-, showtune- and pop-inspired numbers on a wide assortment of instruments – cello, kazoos, ukulele and melodica among them.” We’re excited to check them out and hope you will join us to help celebrate the release of their new record.

Music City Shakedown

Posted Tue August 7, 2012

I realize I am late to the party on this one but please take whatever you’re currently doing, gently set it down and take a moment to check out Music City Shake Down, a community access show featuring local Nashville area bands lip sync performing to their own songs and combined with a heaping amount of ridiculousness. The playlist embedded above has performances from Calicocat, Thunder Brother, Fancytramp, Thelma and The Sleaze and Scale Model.

Go follow them on Facebook – it’s a wonderful thing they’re doing.

All Them Witches – Our Mother Electricity

It’s a good time for psych-rock in Nashville. Just last week we heard the latest from Ttotals and now I’m just coming across the full-length from All Them Witches. Granted, it may have been out since mid-June but somehow it slipped under my radar. It’s a damn shame that I haven’t seen these guys live yet because I assume it’s an impressive wash of sound via fist-clenching rock.
