If rap isn’t your thing you can still get your face melted tonight at the Hopscotch Road Show hitting Emerald Lounge with a terrific local line-up featuring Naked Gods, The Critters, and Oulipo.

5 bucks at the door. Thurs, May 2 at around 9 or 10pm.

Decent Lovers! Tonight! At Emerald Lounge! Alright!

Also: Morning Teleportation! Schools! From Bowling Green! Kentucky!

8 bucks!

Dylan LeBlanc, who most recently visited town opening for First Aid Kit, is coming back tomorrow night (Tuesday, December 11) to Emerald Lounge. He rocks exactly like you’d expect for a dude who was born in Shreveport, but lives in Nashville.

Charlotte’s Matrimony will open so it should be a damn good show. Alli Marshall wrote a Smart Bet if you want more convincing.

10 bucks at the door around 9pm. You know how it goes there.

Pro tip: Go see Floating Action whenever possible. I finally got around to processing the photos from their show at Emerald Lounge in November and it reminded me how awesome they are live (and on record).

Your next opportunity to see them is on New Year’s Eve at Jack of the Wood! I hear tickets are going fast so you might want to get on that.

You’ve probably seen their new video for Matador, but it can’t hurt to watch it again…

Local Music! During Moogfest!

The (only recently released) schedule for Moogfest had already left me head-scratching. But Emerald Lounge just announced that they have partnered with Moogfest to do a local showcase furthering aggravating my scheduling conundrum.

The showcases are free with your Moogfest pass/ticket or 10 bucks (per night) for those missing out on the rest of the action.
