{ From the Great City of Knoxville, Tennessee }

Thanks for the compliment Dave! it is pretty great... well it's been 5 days and I'm still loving this youtube video of the R'Bangs rockin out on David Letterman. Chris is a beast on those drums! Hope you enjoy as much as I have been!

{ The Nashville Invasion }

The Pilot Light is the best venue in town bringing in the best new bands, and the few weeks are no exception. Two of my newest infatuations (both from Nashville) will be rockin' the Old City.

Turbo Fruits - I don't know as much about this band, and have tried out a few of their other songs, but I keep coming back to this one, Mama's Mad Cos I Fried My Brain. Enjoy!


Heavy Cream - Gettin a lil' hype after playing SXSW this year, Heavy Cream of the Label Infinity Cat (who is home to a few Nashville greats) I suspect will not disappoint. Their energy is that of the Runaways + the Ramones + Best Coast. Plus they got that all 3 out of 4 members are ladies (always a positive in my book). Enjoy the Watusi!


**and don't forget The Royal Bangs will be playing The Late Show With David Letterman on Friday, April 1 (tomorrow). The last time a Knoxville band played late-night network TV, in 1997, it was after midnight (on Conan O’Brien’s Late Night) and that was the V-Roys backing Steve Earle—so this is a big deal.

{ Bangs on Letterman }

Hooray for one Knoxville's (and this blogger's) favorite band, the Royal Bangs! They will be playing on the Late Show with David Letterman March 28th! This is definitely awesome! be sure to check it out!

Great Local (or semi-local) Bands

Tennessee Rocks (and Knoxville rocks)! There all there is to it.
I just love seeing either of these bands live! 

First is the Royal Bangs(Hotties from Knoxville) with Cat Swallow. These guys are too cool to greet on the street (but I do see them at tomato head all the damn time). I adore them and their music. They are playing at Sundown in the City May 7th (its gonna be hot2death)

Second, The Features (from Murfreesboro area) with Contrast! Playing at Barleys May23rd (I sooo can't wait!) I've been a fan of them for a while. Both Bands ROCK OUT! and put on a great live show! If they come anywhere near you its a must must must see!
