There are some amazing shows happening this weekend in Nashville. Seriously- get off your ass and go see some good bands. Here are my picks.

FRIDAY:

PUJOL, King Arthur, The Joy of Painting @ Wall Street (in Murfreesboro). 9pm $5

Courtney Jaye, Birdcloud, and Denny & The Jets @ The Basement. 9pm $8

Uncle Skeleton album release show w/ How I Became the Bomb and Nahnee Bori @ Mercy Lounge. 9pm $5 gets you in, $15 gets you in + the album.

The Melvins w/ Unsane @ Exit/In. 9pm (Sold out but had to mention it!)

Quatro de Mayo Cancer Benefit Dance Party @ The Brick Factory. Straight from the horse’s mouth (aka Facebook): “Celebrate the release of Makeup and Vanity Set’s Vinyl while helping raise money for The American Brain Tumor Association’s Breakthrough for Brain Tumors 5K and possibly being the first person in Nashville to bust up a piñata at the stroke of midnight! Plenty of Dancing and Robots and Booze…what more could you ask for?” I also hear there might be a special guest appearance…

SATURDAY:

Royal Bangs w/ Fly Golden Eagle and ??? @ The End. 9pm $10 (There will be at least one more band on the bill but I can’t find it anywhere online…)

SUNDAY:

Screaming Females w/ PUJOL and Cry Baby @ The End. 9pm $7
