Cream Calendar Long Weekend: Get Trashed
Posted by Steve Haruch on Fri, Aug 31, 2007 at 4:34 PM
How will you celebrate Labor this weekend, Nashville? Are you going to see The Rentals tonight? Or the Pixies/GBV cover bands at The Basement (certain Lambchop personnel will be involved)? Are you gonna spark up some briquettes, or what?

Cream Calendar Go See The Go: Tonight at The End
Posted by Tracy Moore on Thu, Aug 30, 2007 at 12:04 PM
The Go
All We Seabees
Plex Plex
Magic Mountain Family Band
THE GO W/ALL WE SEABEES After preceding the garage-rock euphoria by a smidge with 1999's Whatcha' Doin' (which included contributions from one-time bandmate Jack White), The Go suffered through label troubles that delayed their return until the wave had passed. While 2004's self-titled second album features a terrific glam-inflected garage stomp, it pretty much disappeared without a trace. On the follow-up, Howl on the Haunted Beat You Ride, the band takes a left turn, forgoing their blazing rock for a tuneful psych-pop amble. Following in the footsteps of late-'60s British Invasion acts like The Kinks and The Zombies, their latest grooves to harmony-abetted melodies and easy-going rock shuffles. Opening are hearty local folk-rockers All We Seabees, whose songs feel as intimate as overheard confessions of guilt between long-illicit lovers. Like The Go, they've got a fine sense of melody as well as surprising guile and a graceful shimmy to lighten the step of their loping roots rock. 9 p.m. at The End —CHRIS PARKER
Whatevs Nashville Hits Puberty, Makes T-shirt
Posted by Tracy Moore on Thu, Aug 30, 2007 at 11:19 AM
Uh, I went to Frothy Monkey this morning for coffee and spotted a flyer for a "Nashville is the New L.A." one-year anniversary party tonight at Lot 7. Lot 7 is apparently the new Bar Twenty3, but that's kind of beside the point. (Or is it?) Anyway, so I'm looking at the picture on the flyer (above) trying to mentally note exactly how many levels of gross are going on with this concept, and I can't even find a mission statement for who thinks Nashville is the New L.A., why, what's wrong with them, if it's tongue in cheek or if it will ever stop.
But so far, I can tell their interpretation of L.A. involves edgy haircuts, "attitude" and champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries.
OK, so then I locate the "slogan": "Celebrate Nashville's Growth as a city and the shirt that says it all!"
Let's not get carried away. OK, let's.
"Take shots off the ice luge! VIP red carpet entrance!"
Back at the office, I began "investigating" this party, which is to say I went to the website and clicked through a few links. After making the least amount of effort possible to find out what the hell is going on, here's what I can tell you:
It's been 1 year!
RSVP Does not grant you a table!

Cream Calendar Tonight at The Basement
Posted by Steve Haruch on Thu, Aug 30, 2007 at 10:11 AM
It's the Kinks-y rock of Turncoats (typing "Kinks-y" makes me think of Kinski—the band, not the German—who are awesome but not Kinks-y at all) along with the kinky surf sounds of The Northridge Rangers. ($5 at 9 p.m.)

Posted by Steve Haruch on Wed, Aug 29, 2007 at 4:18 PM

Cream Polar Bear (Remix)
Posted by Lee Stabert on Wed, Aug 29, 2007 at 2:45 PM
As some of you may or may not know, this past Saturday we here at the Cream had a little shindig. I had the excellent opportunity to put together a DJ set (on my iPod, I admit it). We were each asked to include a local track and Kyle Andrews was nice enough to mix up one of his excellent indie pop gems for me. Here is the remix of "Polar Bear." It's pretty fracking awesome and I think it held up quite well against "Ignition (Remix)" and "No Diggity."
Thanks, Kyle.
