The Weekendist: Go Go Go Edition
There’s always a weekend in April that goes down as one of the busiest in Nashville’s history (at least where your Nashvillest editors are concerned), and that weekend is about to begin. Rites of Spring, the Nashville Film Festival, Record Store Day… Throw in a hockey playoff or two and you’ve got yourself a recipe [...]
Rites Of Spring 2011: Kid Cudi, The National, Public Enemy, Sara Bareilles Top The Bill
As always, a few days after the big Bonnaroo announcement we get another whopper of a lineup announcement courtesy of the folks at Rites of Spring, Vanderbilt’s spring mini-fest (happening this year April 15-16). The only problem with Vandy’s lineup announcements is that they’re really, really, really bad at keeping them under wraps. Last year, [...]
The Weekendist: Rain, Rain Go Away Edition
In traditional Spring fashion, Nashville has packed a whole lot of fun and craziness into one weekend. The forecast may look pretty miserable for the next few days, but that doesn’t stop us from trying to hit as much of the action as possible. Did we leave something out? Let us know in the comments. [...]
Speaking Of Lineups: Vandy Announces Rites Of Spring Bill
Not to be left in the dust by Bonnaroo’s big-time lineup announcements yesterday, InsideVandy.com announced the full lineup for this year’s Rites of Spring this morning. Headliners are Ben Harper & Relentless7 and Drake, but we’re guessing that since this is Nashville, supporting acts Passion Pit and Phoenix will have the place equally as packed. [...]
Bright & Early: Like A Freight Train Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We were pleasantly surprised when we woke up this morning and realized we’d made it through the weekend. While we were off frolicking at the film festival and throwing Wayne Coyne around in a giant hamster ball, some Vanderbilt students braved the rain to build a new playgroud for the kiddos at [...]
Vandy’s Rites Of Spring: T.I., Nickel Creek, and Flaming Lips, Oh My!
With the sudden explosion of events and festivals this weekend, it seems that Nashville is finally stepping out of hibernation after a really long, really gross winter. And if the Nashville Film Festival, Earth Day, Grimey’s Record Store Day, Cherry Blossom Festival (yes, we have one of those), Music City Walk of Fame inductions, and [...]
Bright & Early: Gettin’ Our Green On Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Taking a look at some of the before and after photos of Earth Hour Nashville, we’d say that our city had a whole lot to be proud of this weekend, even if Nashville Gifts decided to be a stick in the mud and Al Gore couldn’t manage to turn off his giant [...]
Vandy’s Rites Of Spring Headliners Announced
We’ve always felt like Vandy’s Rites of Spring music festival is pretty hit-or-miss, but we’d say this year might just be a hit. This year, the two-day festival will feature both psychedelic legends The Flaming Lips and funk rockers (some of our hometown heroes) N.E.R.D. Dates are April 17-18 and tickets go on sale through [...]
