Tomorrow, Saturday the 21st, is Record Store Day. If you haven’t noticed, there’s a whole lot going on around town to celebrate the occasion. More than likely you’ll spend the majority of your day spending time at The Groove or Grimeys seeing the likes of Meadownoise, JEFF the Brotherhood, Caitlin Rose, Fly Golden Eagle, Ranch Ghost, PUJOL, Community DJ’s, etc. etc. At night you’ve got plenty of options for continued entertainment with Scale Model, The Goldroom, Anchor Thieves, Rites of Spring, QDP at The 5 Spot and Melrose Billiards antics. Basically, if you play your cards right you can have a helluva Saturday. Be sure to bring a few dollars along with you to buy some records from our fine Brick and Mortar establishments continuing the fine tradition of selling fine music – we’ve got it real good here in Nashville in that regard and it’s all too easy to forget.

Can we all come together as a community and get these two bands together? They seem like a match made in heaven and then when they play together we can call collectively sigh, thinking “We made that happen!” Even if we can’t do that you should check out these new offerings.. assuming you enjoy some straight-ahead rock tunes.

I Believe in Hotpants have a new EP coming out at the end of May but you can preview the offerings over on their official site and/or at their early show at The Basement on May 1st.

Calicocat recently released a new two song single over on their Bandcamp for “Whatever” b/w “Young Hearts”.
