I always hate to hear about bands getting their gear stolen. It’s a total tragedy. Think about those few items you have laying around that carry a lot of sentimental value. Maybe it’s a piece of jewelry, or a plush toy animal from your childhood. Now realize that many times musicians have a sentimental value attached to their instruments. I’ve still got my first guitar for that very reason. Stealing an artist’s instruments, is like inflicting a mortal wound to a person.
My heart goes out to my friends, Nite Nite, who recently had their gear stolen-so much that they can’t play any shows. But the Nashville music scene once again exhibits its unique camaraderie by banding together and organizing a benefit show for Nite Nite. It’s a great thing that I’m pretty sure most other music scenes in other towns don’t have.
So let’s help get our friends Nite Nite back on track, and making great music once again.
Show Details:
Time: Wed, March 23rd at 8pm
Place: Mercy Lounge in Nashville, TN
Bands:
The Lonely H
Bad Cop
Majestico
Diarrhea Planet
Chrome Pony

Two posts within 24hrs is a pretty good way to break the RSS silence on our blog, I suppose. Wanted to put out a quick little news bulletin about something Radical Notion is getting involved in. My friends at Scenario Entertainment asked us to help out with a dance party coming up this week-tomorrow, in fact.
Dance Your ‘Art Out: Art Show and Dace Party
Dance Your ‘Art Out is the first in what’s planned to ultimately become a monthly party featuring DJs, bands, and visual art. This month’s party features unique installation art and live painting brought to you by Twist Art Gallery, including the self illuminated series “Suspension” created by Jaime Raybin and Ryan Hogan.
Here’s what The Nashville Scene is saying about it:
“…instrumental hip-hop from Get-Got and sets from DJs Orig and Potamus are bound to make even the most introverted art wallflower break a sweat. Think of it as a social experiment to discover what happens when art nerds rock out. It’s a great idea: There’s tons of overlap between the dance crowd and the art world, and those stragglers who’ve been waiting in the outer rings of the art/dance Venn Diagram have a great excuse to mingle.” [Read the full article -->]
The Basic Facts
Music and DJ performances by:
