It’s no secret that Silversun Pickups score the soundtrack for the cacophony and quiet of the urban environment. Their songs curl like a sleeping dragon around the foothills, soar between the skyscrapers, and slouch in the shadows of forbidden offramps and skid row. The Silversun Pickups sound is a city itself and on the new album, Swoon, we tag along on a schizophrenic taxi ride to the dark side. After all, the City of Silversun is a landscape populated with contradictions: the clamor of traffic and the solace of the garden; fashionistas lined up at taco trucks after hours; moonlight bike rides and holdups at knifepoint.

DJ sets of the best the dance music will be provided live by PlayMe and Fan Fiction — AND there will be A SPECIAL ONE-TIME ONLY appearance from DJ Gumby, who will come out of retirement to DJ a mind-blowing midnight countdown filled with lasers and drenched in complimentary champagne.
HAPPY ENDINGS will take you out of 2009 and into 2010 with the Happy Ending that — after this year — you know you deserve.

one night way back in october of 2008, john moved into jemina's house in nashville tn. now neither one can really remember the exact order of events, but somewhere in that month they stayed up many nights and wrote many songs, recorded them at battle tapes, convinced maxwell to move in with them, and then they all took a china town bus to new york.

10 years! My god, that is a LIFETIME! I cant believe I have been making records on a national level for 10 years. In 1999, I was just making these little beats in my bedroom for release on an independent label. Fast forward to 2009, and I’m….making these little beats in my bedroom for release on an independent label. Ok, to be fair, some things have changed; a bigger studio, I OWN the studio, I OWN the independent label, and instead of driving 10 blocks to a gig in m hometown, I fly 10 hours to a gig in another country. But when it all comes down to its most base level, the goal is still the same: to make a piece of music that is going to hopefully rearrange your brain, or at least provide some relief from real life for a moment or two. So let’s take a look at what’s happened over the course of those 10 years….

Nineties rock gave Josh Brown a muse, a voice and stardom. Then it nearly killed him. Now his band is giving the sounds that first inspired him new life on Day of Fire's third album LOSING ALL, a powerful hard-rock record that explores the real meaning of rebirth.
Brown grew up in Jackson, Tennessee, where he picked up songwriting and a serious drug habit at age 15. Two years later he became the frontman for Full Devil Jacket, and at 22 he scored the big-time record deal. "I thought I was Axl Rose for a short time there," he laughs. The band toured with Creed and Nickelback and made a splash at Woodstock '99, but on his way to major success, Brown had a major crash: a heroin overdose in an Orlando bathroom put his career on hold while he rehabbed and rethought his life.

Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears
with Cedric Burnside and Lightnin' Malcolm
Thursday Febuary 18, 2010 at 9:00 PM
The Basement - Nashville, TN
- 21+ Show -
Theoretically speaking, Black Joe Lewis just doesn’t make sense.
Seriously, how can any dude still shy of 30 sound this soulful? And,
more pertinently, how can anyone raised in suburban Round Rock, Texas, make music this damn funky? But lo and behold, it’s all true: Black Joe Lewis is the real deal, and all skepticism is blown away the minute he takes the stage with his formidable ensemble of like-minded soul mates, the Honeybears. Britt Daniel invited the band to tour with Spoon, and it wasn’t long before Black Joe and Co. were signed to Lost Highway Records. The label released the band’s full-length debut, Tell ’Em What Your Name Is!, in March '09. It’s a raw and raucous affair from start to finish — classic rock ’n’ soul for a new generation that at least a couple of older generations can dig, too.
Owl City
with Paper Route
Monday April 19, 2010 at 6:30 PM
War Memorial Auditorium - Nashville, TN
- All Ages Show -
In the state of Minnesota lies a small town called Owatonna with roughly twenty-two thousand inhabitants. Within that city is a quiet road with a modest house. In that house there’s an unkempt basement with no windows. Within those confines you’ll find Adam Young of Owl City hard at work on his electronic and melodically infectious music of simple and singular beauty. Inside this “cave,” as Adam likes to describe it, he has begun to quickly win over a large audience thirsty for something genuine, something sublime. The proof is in the music as Owl City’s first official CD – Ocean Eyes – was released July 21st, 2009 and debuted at #27 on the Billboard Top 200, #2 on Billboard’s Electronic Albums chart and #3 on the Digital Albums Chart.
