Black Cobra w/Sound & Shape & Under The Earth The End	Tue., November 25, 9:00pm	Broadway/The Gulch/Music Row/West End	Music
A plethora of low-frequency-minded doom-metal bands have cropped up in the past few years, and bands like Lightning Bolt, the White Stripes and Death From Above 1979 have helped make two-piece bands much more fashionable. You’d also run out of fingers and toes listing bands whose names... More>>

Diane Marino Sambuca	Wed., November 26, 7:00pm	Broadway/The Gulch/Music Row/West End	Music
The veteran Nashville jazz singer drew national airplay and press raves for her recent album Just Groovin’ by tapping into the timeless melodic brilliance of a well-chosen list of pop and rock standards, most from the 1960s. Working with big-band arrangements and assisted by jazz blowers... More>>

The Duke Spirit w/Eulogies & The Black Fortys Exit/In	Sun., November 30, 8:00pm	Broadway/The Gulch/Music Row/West End	Music
Let’s say Grace Slick was born about 40 years later. And in England. What if, by chance, she listened to a lot of shoegaze and art rock and joined a sorta drone-y pop rock band? This Grace Slick v2.0 would be named Liela Moss, and her band would be called The Duke Spirit. The Spirit... More>>

Hotpipes w/The Carter Administration & The Ladybirds Mercy Lounge	Sat., November 22, 9:00pm	Broadway/The Gulch/Music Row/West End	Music
Hotpipes and The Carter Administration are two of the club scene’s most beloved mainstays. The former sounds like XTC re-interpreted by the Walkmen, the latter a history lesson of American rock ‘n’ roll radio; both are top-shelf Nashville rock. If you were to fill a time capsule... More>>

JJ Grey and Mofro w/Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue Exit/In	Sat., November 29, 8:00pm	Broadway/The Gulch/Music Row/West End	Music
You wouldn’t know that Orange Blossoms—JJ Grey and Mofro’s fourth album and their second for Alligator Records—is the Florida-based band’s most refined work yet from the fact that it’s got a sinewy jam titled with the not-so-subtle come-on acronym of... More>>

Manchester Orchestra w/Dead Confederate, Kevin Devine & All Get Out Rcktwn	Sat., November 29, 7:00pm	Broadway/The Gulch/Music Row/West End	Music
Not unlike their Nashville counterparts Paper Rival, with whom they shared the stage at Next Big Nashville earlier this year, Athens, Ga., five-piece Dead Confederate represent a handful of bands below the Mason-Dixon making efforts to dig Southern rock out of its tired blues roots. Adopting as... More>>

Mashville feat. DJ's Wick-It, Local Motion, Kidsmeal, Orig, Chozen & Mike Vulcan The End	Sat., November 22, 9:00pm	Broadway/The Gulch/Music Row/West End	Music
Please let us abuse our bully pulpit here for a moment: Yo, DJ Kidsmeal, where is that mixtape of yours? We’ve been jonesin’ for a while and seeing your name pop up in the venerable music mag Wax Poetics got us all riled up. You’ve gotta drop that tape soon, because every time we... More>>

Michele Ari w/The Mattoid, The Outlaw Lovers, The Transcenders, The Country Punks & Jaired Denali The End	Wed., December 3, 9:00pm	Broadway/The Gulch/Music Row/West End	Music
Like Big Star in their Southern interpretation of the British Invasion or The Rolling Stones in their British interpretation of American roots music, local traditionalists The Outlaw Lovers are equal parts bar rock and UK garage. Wet from 96 tears of classic organ sounds and deafening from amps... More>>

O'Death w/Those Darlins & Chris Crofton Exit/In	Mon., December 1, 8:00pm	Broadway/The Gulch/Music Row/West End	Music
If you've ever gotten really drunk, stumbled home and found yourself noshing hardcore on whatever happened to be sitting in your fridge, only to realize after a few minutes of inebriated wolfing that you had—woops—devoured an entire chicken, then Those Darlins have a song for you.... More>>

The Reverend Horton Heat w/Nashville Pussy & Backyard Tire Fire Mercy Lounge	Wed., December 3, 9:00pm	Broadway/The Gulch/Music Row/West End	Music
With its buttery chord changes and melodies that seem lifted from any number of sophisticated ’70s pop records, Backyard Tire Fire's new full-length The Places We Lived is as sly and sneaky as its sources. From Bloomington, Ill., by way of North Carolina, Ed Anderson sings in an irresolute... More>>

Alcohol Stuntband w/The Tits & more The Basement	Wed., November 26, 9:00pm	Broadway/The Gulch/Music Row/West End	Music
Perpetually irreverent and delightfully derivative, the Alcohol Stuntband is the piston-pumping, well-oiled vehicle of local funnyman Chris Crofton. Set to bar-rock chord progressions echoing the likes of AC/DC, Metallica or The Stooges, the Stuntband’s true forte is unbridled... More>>

VHS or Beta w/The Hollywood Kills & Mother Father Exit/In	Fri., November 28, 8:00pm	Broadway/The Gulch/Music Row/West End	Music
As pop music has splintered into numberless directions and garnered more compound epithets from snarky music critics than the '80s ever dreamed of, groups such as VHS or Beta have been there to corner the pastiche market. Call it dance punk; call it, if you will, funxploitation. This Louisville... More>>
