Imagine
you are a sweet, lovely young lady, and you are having a dinner party.
You invite your good friends Björk, Feist, and Karen O of the Yeah Yeah
Yeahs. When dinnertime comes, instead of serving them food, you just
eat the three of them. Then you immediately go and have insane,
call-the-cops-to-the-hotel-style sex with both Cedric and Omar from The
Mars Volta while listening to Sleater-Kinney albums. If you did all
that, all those things... on a crisp autumn night... then you, my
friend, would be "Mr. Gnome." Mr. Gnome speed up, they slow down. They get loud as fuck. They get soft as kittens in a Downey commercial. And they do it together. Barille
has an array of pedals in front of her that would make a NASCAR driver
ejaculate, and she has the uncanny ability to manipulate these pedals
constantly while playing and singing, making her effective at rythym
guitar, lead guitar, and singing at the same time. All the while, the
drummer grows a third arm to hit parts of drums I didn't know existed.
Basically, what I am saying here is that this two-piece band sounds
more like an orchestra for a Tim Burton film. Sorry Danny Elfman;
you're fired. It's the Gnome's turn.

Tristen
Occasionally,
Nashville gets a migrant or two that do well at reminding us that some
folks really do come here to make better music. One such shining
example is singer/songwriter Tristen who arrived recently by way of
Chicago. The single-named songstress has been bandying a simple,
straightforward pop influenced folk style around town for the past year
now. Backed by a revolving door backing band, Tristen takes a classic
approach to melody sounds neither modern nor retro, but rather takes on
a timeless quality that seems it could have come about at any given
year between now and 1972.
Charles Latham
Charles
Latham wields an acid tongue and a poison pen, crafting social
criticism and brutal self-analysis into three and a half minute
ramshackle pop songs. His songs are often exercises in duality: he
finds humor in horror and horror in humor, the profane in beauty and
beauty in the profane. In a live performance, his audience often laughs
and smiles, but he rarely does. His lofi home recordings compliment the
harsh honesty of his lyrics; his guitar buzzes and rings, and his
snarling voice leaps, cracks and cries.

XPN & YROCK welcome:
The Big Pink are an electro-rock duo from London, England, comprising multi-instrumentalists Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell.
Post
Post is an indie rock band comprised of four college juniors who met
and formed at Bryn Mawr College, an all-women's liberal arts college
outside Philadelphia (they wouldn't let Kevin in, he had to go to
Haverford instead). Zauner fronts as a magnetic lead vocalist and
songwriter, drawing upon her experience in her solo act Little Girl,
Big Spoon. Her knack for writing catchy pop melodies is set off by her
emotional, often clever and introspective lyrics, a rare blend that
simultaneously appeals to both sides of human nature. As Little Girl,
Big Spoon, Michelle shared stages with a number of prominent indie
voices, such as Menomena, Man Man, Deerhoof, M. Ward, and Kimya Dawson.
All TLA purchased tickets will be honored.
