Saturday:
Tristen w/Larissa Maestro, Chad Dickinson & Charlie Murphey at Downtown Presbyterian Church. While you're art crawlin', there's a free show at the church on 5th. It's also being recorded by Welcome to 1979 on analog tape. Steve Albini is stoked.
Kyle Andrews w/Heypenny, Plumb & Will Morgan Holland at the Listening Room. Andrews is all hopped up on Christmas spirit lately, he just released a holiday-themed EP called "Damn Baby You're Cold" and this show is a Toys for Tots benefit. If you bring an unwrapped toy for donation, you get in for free. The other bands are probably going to play Christmas songs too.
Buzz and Click VI feat. Synapse Trap, 84001, Styches, Oliver Dodd, Jensen Sportag, Logickal, Bluff Duo, DAAS, Leslie Keffer & Forrest Bride at The End. Matt Sullivan's piece about it in this week's print edition makes it sound like it's your best shot at experiencing Nashville's outsider music scene.
My So-Called Band w/Pocket Protectors at Exit/In.
Rock Blok Showcase feat. Pretty in Punk, Elemental, Yelling At Inanimate Objects, The Unknown, Illuminati, Snakeface & The River Spirits at YEAH.
Joe, Marc's Brother w/ Jason White, Bobby Bare Jr., Grimey & Will Kimbrough at Mercy Lounge.
