As Next Big Nashville approaches a few things should be pointed out in preparation.

• Out the Other has a great writeup for each and every day of the festivities. Check them out: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
• Potential wristband giveaways here and here.
• Bands from outside of Nashville are playing NBN – read about them here.
• The Make Out with Violence wrap party is tonight at 8 Off 8th, can you guess the headliner?

Thanks to a heads up from the Nashville Cream you now have the opportunity to download, for free, the entire EP from Vovô. The band is comprised of Mark Bond and Rollum Haas – better known for their work with The Features. The 5-track EP features lots of local stalwarts – including Sam Ashworth, Jon Rogers (Hotpipes) and Luke Schneider (numerous bands). And it’s free – so go get it.
