Diarrhea Planet (top); The Features (bottom)
Summer concert season is officially in full swing. Fuller swing than usual, actually. Thanks in no small part to the accommodating space The Basement East, more and more of shows are finally flooding to the East Side, along with basically every thing and everyone else.
Announced earlier today, local lifestyle mag The East Nashvillian is throwing the East Side Social on June 20th — an outdoor shindig held in East Park (home of the Hot Chicken Festival) intended to celebrate “one of the city’s most vibrant communities,"showcase local music and raise money for a good cause. In an epic pairing, local six-piece party punks Diarrhea Planet and veteran Middle Tennessee underdogs The Features will co-headline, raising money for CASA Nashville — a non-profit that helps abused and neglected children find safe, permanent homes.
Requisite food and beer vendors will be on hand. Tickets (available here) are $15 for general admission and $35 for VIP. So, kids under 12 might get two kinds of diarrhea, they also get in free.
