Events for the Week of April 25th
This week Molchat Doma is bringing sounds from the new Western Front to Nashville, TN. They're a Belarusian band and part of an interesting musical development emerging from the Eastern Slavic states. There's a level of vitality in the music over there that's hard to find in modern American bands which are becoming increasingly feminine — check out Nashville's Bright Shade Fest lineup this weekend to see what I mean. Unfortunately, there's a waiting list for the $60 Molchat tickets.
We've got some other foreigners in town, The Chats, a "pub-punk, shed-rock" band that's part of the the Aussie punk revival led by Amyl and the Sniffers. It was funny discovering that the self proclaimed "chaotic... zero fucks" punk guys require vaccines at their shows. That's fine, I'll just go see some Memphis rap instead.
🍺 The Pamphleteer hosts Bar Hours every Thursday night at Lucky's 3 Star Bar from 6-8 PM. The first ten guests get drinks on the company tab. Join us to discuss how to shake off the sloth of the modern era and recapture the vitality that made this country great.
🎙 Hannah Juanita is playing two steppin' music every Friday in April at Bobby's Idle Hour. Great show, she packs the place.
🎪 Check out our favorite driving distance festivals this summer.
