• Mercy Announces Winter Concert Series: Casio Fears the Worst

  As an official casualty of the Summer of Dreamz, I've warned you all several times against tempting fate and trying to control your destinies by redubbing various seasons with names ending in unnecessary Zs. And yet, it appears some of you simply refuse to listen. In spite of my many cautionary tales, Mercy Lounge, in cooperation with Sweetwater 420, has chosen to title its upcoming winter concert series "Winter of Dreamz." Having witnessed firsthand the kind of carnage that can ensue when you

• Monday Night vs. The Greatest of All Time

  I once knew a band from Vancouver with a strange name: Trail vs. Russia. Pretty cool band, in the Shellacky, claustrophobic, bass-heavy mold, and very nice people. I just thought their band name was, you know, overly arty or something. Then I learned the story: A tiny little Canadian town (Trail) once challenged the Russian national team (Russia) to a game of hockey. And won. Instantly cool band name, even though I don't care about hockey. (Picture is only tangentially related.) Anyway, in the

• Mercy Lounge's 666: One Hell of a Good Time

  Say farewell to this clown by rocking. All this week, the folks on Cannery Row are bringing us free shows in celebration of their sixth anniversary. Six nights featuring six acts (or more). Six years. Sometimes you really have to force the references to Satan, and sometimes the opportunities just present themselves. Here's what's on the menu: Monday 1/12: 8 off 8th (hosted by Big Fella) feat. Street Corner Champs, Used Computers, Biscuits and Gravy, Plex Plex, The N.O.B.O.T.S., Sleeper Agent

• Cowboy Jack Clement or Else: It's Thursday

  If Cowboy Jack Clement ever needed to apply for a job, at least in this economy, his prospective employer would probably lean back in her Herman Miller chair, rub her chin amusedly, and say, "Mister, I don't know what to tell you. You're just overqualified." From Michael McCall's Critic's Pick: He produced Jerry Lee Lewis' first Sun Records hits, brought out the best in his buddy Johnny Cash, convinced Chet Atkins to sign Charley Pride and produced Waylon Jennings' landmark album Dreamin' My

• Kyle Andrews Stops Being Polite and Starts Being Real

  Those of you who like your reality chopped, screwed, reconstructed and dramatized by completely unreal people might have heard Nashville's fun-loving, electro-friendly tunesmith Kyle Andrews on last night's episode of MTV's The Real World: Brooklyn. While February is traditionally a time for us to bone up on our black history knowledge, I'm going to take it upon myself to declare this "Kyle Andrews Month" as well, since the same track ("Sushi") also appears on Paste 's Feb.

• SXSW '09: Nashville Representin'

  It's another year of aural overload at SXSW, and Nashville and Murfreesboro bands keep making the annual trek to Austin (Mar. 18-22) in the hopes of standing out among the thousands of acts there hustlin' for your ears. A list of local acts officially committed after the jump. And of course, this list doesn't include all the bands playing unofficially at clubs or day parties. (We already told you about the Next Big Nashville lineup here. And veteran attendee Janet Timmons of the Out the Other h

  ​A surprising amount of album releases going on tonight. Here's the best of Saturday evening: How I Became the Bomb's Deadly Art Album Release at Mercy Lounge feat. Kyle Andrews & Zut Alors. Gold has a lot to say about that record. Lylas CD Release at The Basement feat. Altered Statesman & Joel J. Dahl. Check out Maloney's feature on Lylas.

• How I Became the Bomb, Kyle Andrews & Zut Alors at Mercy Lounge, 8/8/09

  ​We live in interesting times, friends. We get to witness first hand the demise of the Music Industry and its reign of havoc on modern art. We get to see brave new acts like our own How I Became the Bomb left with no choice but to undermine the music biz's long-standing, antiquated business model with experiments in marketing such as the one they've spent the year on thus far. After releasing a series of four digital EPs, the band has compiled them all and then some into their first full-l

  It's here! It's here! Next Big Nashville honcho Jason Moon Wilkins has sent along the full list of NBN bands, and we've got the exclusive for you. Locals missing from the initial list that turned up here include The Kindergarten Circus, Umbrella Tree, Tristen, Keegan DeWitt, Kopecky Family Band, Bad Cop and more. But a few remain conspicuously absent. No Features and no Privates--though The Features' nationwide tour probably has a lot to do with that. There's also no mention of Eliza the Arrow

  Album art by Frank Miller. JK.​Anybody here stoked about the release of The Protomen's long-awaited sophomore record, Act II: The Father of Death? They're already carrying copies of it at Grimey's, and you can also order it, like, electronically. But if you were hoping to attend their release show at Mercy Lounge on Sept. 25 and still haven't obtained your tickets, then it looks like you and your shit-outta-luck friends might just have to listen from the parking lot.

• Rock 'n' Roll Homework: Heypenny Wants Your Participation

  It should be blatantly apparent by now that Heypenny are nonstop hustlers. I must tip my hat to the energetic and fervent crew for constantly pouring everything they've got into their performances, costumes, props, events and various live tactics. Whether or not you're a fan, they work their little indie-pop asses off--as you might glean from this behind-the-scenes video of Heypenny's EP release a few weeks back. And now, as they headline Saturday night's Next Big Nashville showcase at Mercy

  ​Interesting news out of England as Q the Music, the online arm of Q Magazine, is currently running a feature titled "Heypenny on Nashville." In it, Music City's favorite theatrical indie-pop juggernaut tells the Brits a thing or two about our local scene--giving lots of love to Grimey's, The Basement and Mercy Lounge--and adding in some commentary on their favorite "less countrified" Nashville bands--such as Lambchop, How I Became the Bomb, Kyle Andrews and The Features. These bands, alon

• Anders Elfström, 'I Fell Into Your Arms'

  I will admit I don't know much about Anders Elfström. He's got an umlaut in his name, which is awesome, of course, and also very metal, though he doesn't seem to be very metal himself. He's Swedish, and recorded an album in East Nashville with Lij Shaw, and some local dudes including Ian Fitchuk, John Deaderick and Kyle Andrews played on it. And I only know that because I happened to stumble across this makin'-an-album-with-Anders video while skipping around the tubes, which led me to the vid

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 i

• Free Music: New Kyle Andrews Tunes From Robot Learn Love on Bandcamp

  ​If you ain't know, now you know ... local singer/songwriter semi-electro power-popper and recent Ten out of Tenn alum Kyle Andrews is releasing a new album in May titled Robot Learn Love. Fans and skeptics alike would be best off basing how they feel about this from its first four tracks, available now for free on Bandcamp. It was more or less a year ago when a Kyle Andrew's media surge via NPR and Paste amongst others alerted me to the contagiously singable "Sushi." I found it both ama

We smell a goddamn conspiracy -- Heypenny totally should have won. They were totally right there in the crowd for the whole show, wearing jackets and stuff. We can't believe they didn't take the trophy at the first installment of the second annual Road to Bonnaroo at Mercy Lounge -- we're thinking that the fix is in. Sure they didn't actually play this year, bu
