Rutherford County is under a tornado warning...which means...our tornado sirens are going off! Which means, i can't leave my apartment quite yet to go home, so you, the local music scenesters get an update. Lucky you! ;)
Tin Pan South is taking over the city as we speak. There are many great singer-songwriters in all the clubs. The up-and-comers and the oldies. See their website for a full listing of shows or see the ad in this week's Nashville Scene.
Saturday, April 1:
It's no April Fools joke, there are many good shows...here's a sampling.
Hot off the New Orleans presses (thanks Stephen Kraft!), Frogs Gone Fishin', Lost Dog, Indicia, Angus White & The Irish Redneckers, and The Zoo will be playing at Centennial Park. Pretty park and pretty music. Good combo. 11 am.
If you are looking for some synth pop April Fools fun, go see How I Became the Bomb, Girls and Boys and Masa @ The Basement. 9pm.
Born Empty will rock The End with Prom Night, Crank Sinatra, and The Vindicates (all great band names in my opinion.) Born Empty puts on one of the best live shows of all the bands out there. $5. 9 pm.
Finally, The Carter Administration will be playing @ 3 Crow Bar at 9:30 p.m. with the Clutters. $5.
Just another announcement that I am super excited about, They Might Be Giants will be playing City Hall on May 5 (the day after my THREE finals...). They always play good stuff, and TMBG noted on their website that their last visit to Nashville for the short-lived Sobro Summer Nights was one of the best shows of their summer tour, (despite the guy who rushed the stage *rolls eyes*).
If you've got shows, photos, or any other requests of such that you would like for me to post, let me know. indiequeen4011 [at] yahoo [dot] com.
ps. thanks to NashvilleZine for the IM love ;).

I put my shirt on backwards today.
In all my multi-tasking glory, I managed to put my t-shirt on backwards this morning. I have a hoodie on over it, but I am sitting in the office today and something keeps itching at my neck. Yep...it's the tag.
Ladies and gents, it's just my way of saying, it's gonna be one of those weeks.
Luckily there is some good music out there. Don't forget Daylight Savings starts on Sunday morning so spring forward!
And now to the shows:
Tuesday, March 28:
Lovelife will be rocking out at the Muse.
Labeling Deloris will be hitting The End stage with The Hollywood Kills, Nick Edelstein and The Remedy at 9 pm.
Wednesday, March 29:
Lowercase Collective and The Roman Empire will be squaring off against other local favorites at Exit/In for Emergenza. Go vote and show some love! For the complete emergenza schedule, click here.
Thursday, March 30
Want to see the latest in high school talent? Hume-Fogg will be hosting their annual battle of the bands. 6 pm. $5 @ Hume-Fogg (on Broadway)
That's what I got for now. If you have a show to post, let me know!

It just ain't right.
Sadly, Nashville music site Nashvillezine.com will be shutting down. I wish it were some cruel early April Fools joke, but it's not. You shall be missed!
Good news? This weekend there were many good shows. If you've got photos or reviews, feel free to swing me an email and let me know.
I personally made an appearance at the lowercase collective/dan matthews show at 12th and Porter Thursday night. Although I dragged my slow self in a few minutes late, I was still impressed by the indie prog-rock played by lowercase collective. If the music didn't get you, the multimedia presentation sure did. With lyrical quotes between songs and a barrage of visual candy, I left the show feeling both entertained and sensationally pleased.
Dan Mathews followed up with an impressive set. Mathews' piano and musical skills were more than impressive and his band's musicianship completed the picture perfectly. Their music was eclectic. Some blues riffs, some classical work, and some straight up college rock. I'll be interested to see what else we see of this Belmont student in the future. What I'd like to see: Dan Mathews perform with band on a real live piano. His keys work was great, but I think the emotion of his music would hit home more of I heard it Ben Folds style on the REAL keys. I know, you can't lug a baby grand to every performance if you aren't Ben Folds. But Mr. Mathews, when you do hit the ivory, let me know.
Each have upcoming performances:
Dan Mathews will be playing on March 29 @ Windows on the Cumberland with the Reed Pittman Band.
Lowercase collective will be playing at local music lover The Basement on March 22 with Sleeptalker, Gracer, and Your Black Star. Also, they will be playing in the final round of audience-voting Emergenza Festival @ The Exit/In on March 29. Go see and vote for lowercase and The Roman Empire. After this round, it's all up to the judges, so don't miss the chance to cast your vote!
Other shows for the week will be posted later this week. I've got schoolwork out the wazoo and a business plan to halfway complete.
Keep rocking.
