So, tonight us Scenesters will not rock, but we will roll … over to our annual Best of Nashville party, free-food-and-drink horde and hobnob down at the classier-than-we-deserve Parthenon. Well, actually, Guilty Pleasures are playing at it, so maybe will rock a little — it only takes four whiskey shots to talk me into singing along to “Walkin’ on Sunshine,” you know.
Anyway, assuming you're not planning on crashing our high-society (and by "high" I mean … ugh, never mind) bash, here is a little reminder of tonight’s two biggest options as far as rock shows go: The U.K.'s dancey post-punk revivalists Arctic Monkeys will make their Nashville debut over at War Memorial Auditorium — with openers Smith Westerns — while The U.K.'s ’90-alt-rock-revivalists Yuck will take their big hair and big hooks to the Mercy Lounge stage. Think of it as a zeitgeisty little British invasion up in this city of music. Care to read more? Then check out my and D. Patrick Rodgers’ respective Critics' Picks on these respective shindigs after da jump, y’all.
