I have been so nostalgic for Nashville lately. I love living in New York, but I’ll always miss those sweaty days and sweatier nights riding bikes, packing into The End for friends’ shows, fucking shit up, and staying out until day-light. Fortunately, one thing that hasn’t changed at all since my NYC-relocation is getting to see all my favorite Nashville bands play to rooms packed with good friends, sweaty bodies, and flying beer cans. While nothing can ever compare to smokey Springwater impromptus, The Freakin’ Weekend (which is about to take over Nashville for the third year in a row), and Rat Trap House shows, I really can’t complain too much, considering how often I get to see some of my favorite familiar faces. Last week, Keith and I were able to catch both JEFF the Brotherhood shows – The first was at Death by Audio with Hunters (you can see my photos from the show on Brooklyn Vegan), and the second was at Terminal 5 with The Kills (my photos from which are also posted on BV) – and tonight, Natural Child is playing at Cake Shop with several Brooklyn locals. I would really recommend not missing out on this one! It will definitely sell out, so be sure to get there early.
