Exit/In - Nashville, TN
- 18+ Show -

The term 'Cowboy Mouth'
has been used in the poetry of Shakespeare and Bob Dylan as well as a
play by Patti Smith and Sam Shepard. Usually meaning one with a loud
and raucous voice, it describes the band well. With over 2000 concerts
under their belt and many years of reviews lauding their live show,
there is still one quote which best captures their show..... "...on a
bad night they'll tear the roof off the joint and on a good night,
they'll save your soul." — Cake Magazine

Do you miss the 90's? God knows I do. Friday July 24, pay
homage to a simpler time at the Cannery Ballroom. A time when Doc
Martens were cool, you got a new AOL disk in the mail every day, and
most importantly music didnt suck! The music will definitely not
suck this night, so pull that old flannel out of the closet and come on
down.

- 18+ Show -

With our music, and music that we popularize, we try to reach out and
remind people that, when taken out of the hands of a parasite, music is
still a great lead into a democratic atmosphere of chaos, where moments
of great freedom and where great friends could be found. And that in
the world of rapidly dissolving authentic cultures, soul-searching
through the music is something that connects you with the most
authentic thing there - your savage heart.
Stay Strong and Fucking Enjoy,
Hütz.

“Anyone who is familiar with me and my past is going to be able to get
this record. They’re going to understand why I made this record and
that this is the record I’ve been wanting to make," says Burn Halo's
frontman, James Hart. The result is a dynamic, gripping collection of
gritty rock songs that immediately engage their listener, ranging from
the propulsive “Save Me,” which Hart describes as the “heaviest” track
on the record, to the memorable first single “Dirty Little Girl,” which
features Avenged Sevenfold guitarist Synyster Gates. Hart also reveals
his emotional and musical range on “Here With Me,” an emotive throwback
ballad that resounds with immediacy and sincerity, and showcases Hart’s
songwriting goals for the album. “I wanted to touch more on real life
situations and real life stories,” Hart says. “I wanted to paint a real
life picture. I started listening to country and a lot of those songs
are very real and down to earth. They are songs about real life, about
situations you would come across with a lover or the loss of a friend
or heading down a dark path in life. I wanted it to be really simple
and easy to digest. I wanted there to be no question about what I was
singing about.”

Chicago Afrobeat Project

Mercy Lounge - Nashville, TN
- 18+ Show -

As the world’s cultural and political climate evolves, so does its
music. Rooted in the turbulence of social change, afrobeat
coalesced decades ago from a fiery political landscape of Nigeria in
the ‘60s and ‘70s. Now, with the polarized state of the world
since the turn of the millennium, afrobeat again grips the world – this
time, the American musical climate.
Chicago Afrobeat Project, emerging in 2002 from an industrial, urban
Chicago art community, has established itself as leaders in the
non-traditionalist side of the afrobeat movement. The 7-14 person
ensemble energizes the classic afrobeat influences of juju, highlife,
American funk, and afro-Cuban music with a formative infusion of
experimental jazz and rock elements that thrive in the Chicago music
scene. Inherent in the group’s sound is an expression of world
cultural unity and social awareness within a medium of music, dance and
rebellious celebration.

Rhythm & Brews - Chattanooga, TN
- 21+ Show -

BoomBox evolved through
the common visualization of a pair of forward thinking artists from
diverse musical backgrounds. Raised by supportive and musically
inclined parents, both Godchaux and Randolph had an obsession with
music at very young ages. Godchaux, who grew up with deeply embedded
rock and roll roots, began playing drums at the age of two, and played
guitar and wrote his own songs as a teen. During the 90s, Godchaux was
a well-received touring DJ based out of the San Francisco area.
Randolph began as a young drummer, but it’s what was happening behind
the scenes that attracted him most. As much producers as they are
musicians, it is Randolph’s understanding of soundscape and Godchaux’s
knack for songwriting that keeps BoomBox resonating at higher levels.

Rocketown - Nashville, TN

If your household appliances wrote love songs while you were away on
vacation, their cheerful blips and bleeps would pour out the windows,
sweep through the neighborhood like candy-coated tidal waves, and you
would return home to find crowds of people standing on your lawn,
clapping and singing along to the happiest pop melodies imaginable.
Welcome to Owl City.
