A few months ago, a song called “Did I Say Too Much” slipped onto my Spotify playlist. It was one of those songs that refuses to let go. Within 24 hours, I’d spun it a thousand times — no exaggeration. The band behind it? Toronto’s own The Beaches. I typically don’t get so hooked on […]
To the average person/casual music listener/”normie”, the name Justin Hawkins may mean absolutely nothing. But to the throngs of rabid rock ‘n roll fans that packed Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl this past Saturday night, Hawkins is treated with a reverence comparable only to that held by Millennial “Swifties”. Perhaps we should begin referring to Darkness idolaters […]
The Crane Wives, a band I haven’t really had much of an opportunity to get to know until I was asked to cover their Nashville tour date, dropped into Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl on an overly humid Nashville summer night.

This past Monday, Nashville’s premier music venue, the Brooklyn Bowl, hosted an amazing night of darkwave and synth-driven goth rock. The dreary, rain-soaked evening set the perfect atmosphere for an unforgettable performance by Belarus-based darkwave band Molchat Doma, supported by the high-energy Los Angeles post-punk outfit Sextile. With an eager crowd filling the venue from […]
It was another night of what I like to call “musical mystery theater” here in Nashville, Tennessee. This time, I headed over to Brooklyn Bowl to catch rising indie rock band joan, who just so happened to be opening for MisterWives. I call it a mystery because, before attending, I hadn’t really listened to any […]
It was another beautiful night for music in Nashville, Tennessee. The Brooklyn Bowl was packed to capacity with fans eagerly awaiting the performance of Future Islands.

It’s been nearly 20 years since I last saw The Kills live. I remember it was way back in April of 2005 when my friend Liz walked into the Sunglass Hut I was working at and exclaimed “you are coming to see an awesome band with me tonight!”. I didn’t know it then, but that […]

A few days ago I saw a question posted on Reddit, asking: “What is a hill you are willing to die on?” This essentially means you have established an opinion or conviction you believe so wholeheartedly that it’s almost unshakeable. At the time, I didn’t really have a good answer, so I just scrolled past […]
It was a cool fall evening as I headed downtown to experience a night of head-banging and devil horns, since Narcotic Wasteland had made their way into Nashville for a stop on the German metal legends accept’s Too Mean to Die national tour.
