Proto Interview

Rock Sellout has a pretty length interview up with Raul Panther, frontman for the Protomen. According to the bands Wikipedia page the band rarely gives interviews out of character (though I did not verify that information) so it’s a refreshingly candid take on the band, their nicknames, their origins, their recording process and their devoted fans.

Tonight: Dan Deacon

Once upon a time a roommate asked me if Dan Deacon could play a house party at our place and I respectfully declined. Not that I wasn’t into his dance-y, glitch-y, geeky tunes but I just couldn’t imagine the pandemonium that would take place during and after the performance. Fortunately he’s playing tonight at The End (along with Nuclear Power Pants, Daniel Pujol and Totally Michael) and I’m sure it will be an evening of epic proportions.

Tonight, We Own Out The Other

Well Gang, Next Big Nashville is once again almost upon us and this year’s gonna be a good one. To get y’all in the mood for a long weekend of great music, late nights, and of course lotsa boozin’ & schmoozin’, We Own This Town Radio is taking the wheel during tonight’s episode of Out The Other for a special preview of Next Big Nashville ’09. We’ll go through the festival’s line-up, night by night, sharing with you our top picks for the big weekend.

And on the off chance that a few of you out there still don’t have wristbands, we’ll be giving away a couple pair during the show. Hey now… who loves you, baby? We Own This Town & Out The Other, that’s who. Tune it in tonight from 7-9pm: 91.1 on the FM dial or streaming in 1’s & 0’s at wrvu.org.

Hands Off Cuba / Square People / Zut Alors

Collaborative Performances Session 2
Hands Off Cuba + Megan Kelly (painter)
Square People + Drew Maynard (video) + Patrick Schlafer (painter)
The Zut Alors + Jonathan Lisenby (mixed-media)

Session 2 is Open Lot’s second installment of this truly impractical collaborative experiment. A musical scattershot of touring musicians is paired up with an equally diverse group of Nashville-based visual/performance artists. Each pairing communicates only by email until the collaborative performance at Open Lot. What results is an improvisation born from necessity: quick, simple, and forcefully unadulterated.
