I’ve always held firm to the belief that if a band moves you, truly moves you, you owe it to yourself to see them more than once. Some artists just need to be witnessed repeatedly; each performance peels back a layer of something you didn’t know you needed. I feel like bands like Phish, The […]
I’ll be upfront, I had a pretty good idea of what I was walking into Thursday night. I’d seen The Haunt once before — opening for The Hu — and, even in that supporting slot, they made an impression. But there’s a difference between watching a band open a show and watching a band headline, […]
Few British rock bands have carved a transatlantic identity quite like Band of Skulls, the Southampton-born group that improbably broke into the United States mainstream before their own homeland ever knew what hit it. Needless to say, Top Shelf Music was very stoked to have an exclusive interview with the band as they prepared to […]
UK rock powerhouses Band of Skulls are hitting the road with their brand-new The Cold Fame Tour. The journey kicks off on November 16th (this Sunday!!) in Nashville at The Basement East, with special guest Tom Hamilton Jr. joining select dates. Nashville, get ready to rock! After building a reputation for gritty riffs, hypnotic harmonies, and […]
It was a wet Sunday night in Nashville and I was beyond excited as I packed up my camera bag and headed to The Basement East. It had been a long time since I’d shot a show at this venue, but with a lineup featuring HEALTH and Author & Punisher, I knew I had to […]
Blonde Redhead, for me, is one of those bands that I have known about for a very long time, but have never seemed to figure out a way to make it to one of their shows. Thinking back on how much time I have invested listening to them, it’s almost a fact that I am embarrassed […]
The Nashville stop of Spencer Sutherland’s In His Mania Tour was an evening packed with high kicks and screams. The night began with big, bouncing bleach blonde curls sported by the first opener, Michael Minelli. Minelli took the stage solo and commanded the attention of the room as a one-man show. The Los Angeles-based artist’s […]
Kishi Bashi is not what you would consider a ‘household’ name in the music industry. He isn’t sharing stages with the likes of Billie Eilish, but he has created his own rabid fanbase during his many years performing. Once a member of the band Of Montreal, Kishi Bashi now has the distinct honor of having […]
Briston Maroney gave an epic performance at his second-to-last show of his Sunflower Tour at The Basement East in Nashville, Tennessee. What better way to wrap up a tour than two back-to-back sold-out hometown shows? The night started with Mercury, who are Nashville natives, and Jackie Hayes. Both openers got the crowd warmed up for […]
