Podcasts about basement east

This week for What Where When-sday, we discuss a live music tribute to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater happening at the Basement East this Friday. For people of a certain age, I'm including myself in this, video game soundtracks– like Hawk's skateboarding series–  played a big part in music discovery. I discussed the lasting cultural impact with Brandon Bruce, CEO of Mellow Rebel and the music director of the event.

Liberia-born, Tennessee-based artist Mon Rovîa began his career making music more adjacent to alternative R&B. But it was after he stripped his songs back to a simple, binary presentation of voice and ukulele, that his music began connecting deeply via livestreams on TikTok. Fans and big time influencers were drawn to his meditative melodies and spiritually inquisitive, often uplifting lyrics. That led to millions of plays and a sold out tour, including a late January show at the Basement East celebrating his new EP, Act 4 – Atonement. Right Before that show Mon Rovia stopped by WNXP's Sonic Cathedral for a performance and an interview about his incredible journey.

BARONESS Drum Rundown: https://youtu.be/SFSTU1_oObEFull Rig Info: https://bit.ly/BaronessRR24Hard rockers Baroness were busy writing during the early days of the pandemic, sharing ideas and bits of songs over weekly video calls until they had enough for a new record. Then, after scouting for potential recording locations, they rented an Airbnb in a tiny town in New York and got to work.The band brought all their gear along with them: They literally loaded up a U-Haul truck and left no pedal behind—a bit unnecessary in retrospect. At the end of their stay, they'd all but finished their sixth studio album, Stone, which was released in September 2023. On their recent summer tour supporting the record, the quartet played Nashville's Basement East, where PG's Chris Kies met up with vocalist/guitarist John Baizley, guitarist Gina Gleason, and bassist Nick Jost to get an in-depth look at their current road rigs.Shop Baroness' Gear:Roland Jazz Chorus-120: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/eKMoKZFender '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/9gQO6WFender Bassman: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/baEe4xFender '68 Custom Princeton Reverb: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/vNXN1AFender American Professional Telecaster: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/4P3PR1Fender American Professional Stratocaster: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/NkP4W7Fender Precision Bass: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/daxa3QFender American Professional Jazz Bass: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/Y9O94OGallien-Krueger Legacy 800: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/MmZmoPAmpeg 8x10 Cab: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/KjVj2aTech 21 SansAmp Bass Drive DI: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/m5e5rDMXR Iso-Brick: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/LXJXraBoss TU-3: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/jryA4MXotic Effects Bass BB Preamp: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/q414NnBoss ODB-3: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/QyByeYMXR Stereo Chorus: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/9gNgQeModded EHX Big Muff: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/jrPr2nBoss DD-3: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/21QdzOMXR Dyna Comp: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/DKoEkoPro Co RAT: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/XYaJnGMXR Phase 90: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/vNbBJjBoss TR-2: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/9gQOYWEHX Deluxe Memory Man: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/QyX0rzEarthQuaker Devices Dispatch Master: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/PyVNgMDigiTech Whammy: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/q4LBROBoss DM-2w: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/5gRgLnEarthQuaker Devices Tentacle: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/q40z6NPeterson StroboStomp: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/rQLdLjBeetronics Overhive: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/k050bMEarthQuaker Devices Zoar: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/y2oyK2MXR Timmy: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/eKDKBgMXR Super Badass Distortion: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/LXJXrOXotic SP Compressor: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/q414NOMXR EVH Phase 90: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/vNbBJjUAFX 1176 Compressor: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/VmB3A6Ernie Ball Volume Pedal: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/da9AdQD'Addario NYXL .110 Strings: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/xkBkbOStrymon TimeLine: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/0ZyayOBARONESS Drum Rundown: https://youtu.be/SFSTU1_oObEFull Rig Info: https://bit.ly/BaronessRR24Subscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPG Don't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.comPG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitarPG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitarPG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitarPG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar0:00 -...

Earlier this year, he brought his band Cardinal Black to the U.S. for a short tour that included a stop at Nashville's Basement East. That's where PG's John Bohlinger caught up with Buck before the gig for a look at what's powering his blues-rock sound these days. Buck's trademark goldtop Yamaha Revstar is out for the rip, and he spared little space on his double-tiered pedalboard, but a special loaner Gibson and a modded Fender amp added some extra flair to the Nashville show.Shop Chris Buck's Gear:Gibson 1958 Les Paul Junior Double Cut Reissue - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/rQ6DM3Ernie Ball Mega Slinky Strings - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/Py3VxQFender Deluxe Reverb - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/rQLg5BDunlop Cry Baby - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/AWa9XxOrigin Effects Cali76 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/g1VyPrUniversal Audio Golden Reverberator- https://sweetwater.sjv.io/1rD3xgKeeley Katana - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/MmO4N3Catalinbread Echorec - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/oqdnGoLine 6 HX Stomp XL - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/Y9QnejUniversal Audio Starlight Echo Station - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/B0zQg9Boss RE-202 Space Echo - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/Mm6BOoFull Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/chris-buckSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPG Don't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.comPG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitarPG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitarPG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitarPG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar[Brought to you by D'Addario: https://ddar.io/wykyk-rr]0:00 - D'Addario Strings & Joe Glaser0:15 - Chris Buck Intro0:58 - John Bohlinger Intro1:35 - Custom Yamaha Revstar Professional6:52 - Chris Buck's Strings & Picks9:14 - Springer Guitars Firehawk13:29 - Gibson 1958 Les Paul Junior Double Cut Reissue16:18 - D'Addario Strings & the Rig Rundown 16:49 - Fender Deluxe Reverb & Victory V40 Deluxe Combos22:17 - Chris Buck's Pedalboard50:00 - D'Addario Strings© Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 2024#guitar #rigrundown #guitarist #guitarplayer #guitargear #chrisbuck

Full Rig Details: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/donny-benetSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeThere's comical bands (Gwar), there's parody bands (Steel Panther), and there's clever combinations of both (Mac Sabbath). The Italian-Australian Donny Benét is none of those and all of those at the same time. His polished compositions, breezy rhythms, and funky fretwork are no laughing matter. Instead, Donny is the joke … or is he?“I thought, “What would I think if I saw some bald, chubby dude shredding on bass and fretless?' I'd be like ‘hell yeah,' so I might as well be the guy that'll do it,” explains Benét.Donny (born Ben Waples) is from a musical family in Sydney, Australia. He grew up performing on several instruments, became classically trained on piano, and earned a master's degree in double bass. The fluent musician started a career as a jazz bassist for various artists in Sydney, and eventually shifted to an experimental jazz/electronica band, Triosk. While both endeavors were challenging and rewarding, Ben wasn't having fun. After Triosk disbanded, Waples continued writing and recording on his own. It started with Cubase and a Line 6 DL4 that gave him 48-second loops. He started making “Donny Benét” joke songs. His friends and family continued encouraging him to make more, and before he knew it he had enough material to create Don't Hold Back. (To this day he still records all the parts except saxophone, played by his brother Daniel Waples.) And through his passion for creating music combined with his love for '70s funk and R&B—he mentions his introduction to electric bass was via a VHS tape featuring Larry Graham, Bernard Edwards, and Nile Rodgers—infused with the aesthetic and aura of Itala-disco performers, Donny Benét was born.“I'm a seriously trained jazz musician in a prior life, and I try not to take myself too seriously now, but I'm deadly serious about taking the piss out of myself. I like humor, but I definitely don't make joke music,” states Benét.Since 2011, he's released six albums, all showing an evolution and refinement of the Don. Each release has revealed a new part of Benet's infinite swagger, blending influences of Prince, Alan Vega, Lou Reed, Tom Jones, and, of course, James Jamerson, “Duck” Dunn, and the funk forefathers. Yes, Donny B can sweep you off your feet, but that's because one thing reigns supreme—the music.“With Donny I've always taken the approach of ‘what would I listen to?' I started there and I continue to follow it. If no one likes it, that's fine, so long as I like it. If someone else likes it, even better,” says Benét.Before his headlining gig at Nashville's Basement East, Donny B welcomed PG's Chris Kies onstage to chat about his minimal-but-musical setup. Benét explains the origins of “Donny,” covers his custom Furlanetto 4-string and why he calls it “probably the best live instrument I got,” and discusses scoring tons of gear when the exchange rate presents deals.Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/donny-benetSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPG Don't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.comPG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitarPG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitarPG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitarPG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar0:00 - D'Addario Pedalboard Essentials0:15 - Chris Kies Intro0:49 - Donny Benét Intro1:42 - Donny Benét Origins8:55 - Custom Furlanetto "F Bass" VF413:39 - D'Addario & Rig Rundown14:11 -...

Saturday is 615 Day with a daytime event happening at the National Museum of African American Music, and at night, our subject for this week's What Where When-sday: 615 Day at The Basement East. WNXP spoke with Gee Slab of Six One Tribe about the event. 

Singer-Songwriter: Alice Merton Thrilled to welcome back, Friend of the show Alice Merton to Jrodconcerts: The Podcast. Alice Merton has undeniably become known as the girl with no roots. In her songs, she's always talked about celebrating life as a nomad, and making a home wherever you want it to be. With this next chapter however, her thoughts turn inward, and instead of finding a home in the outside world, she goes on an internal journey of feeling lost on the inside and asking the question of all questions: who am I supposed to be, and how well do you know yourself at all?  The new EP, Heron EP – out now via her own independent record label Paper Plane Records Int. – explores the journey of self-discovery and self-fulfilment. It questions one's own happiness, in a world where we are constantly influenced by other people's opinions on what happiness is for them, especially through social media. Alice will waste no time in taking Heron on the road as she embarks upon a long-awaited headline tour in the US in May including here in Nashville at The Basement East on May 13. A selection of European festival dates have also been confirmed, including Hurricane and Southside in Germany, Les Déferlantes in France and Seaside in Switzerland.

On this episode of Dipped in Tone, Rhett and Zack are joined by Wales-born guitarist Chris Buck. Buck is gearing up for a string of US tour dates with his fast-rising rock band Cardinal Black, including a date at Nashville's Basement East after the original venue sold-out within a few hours.Buck starts off digging into the details of his custom Yamaha Revstar and why he chose the versatile guitar over better-known offerings from legacy brands. Buck's rise has been nearly meteoric: He started off posting videos on Facebook and Instagram before his wife suggested he give YouTube a try. His channel now counts 226,000 subscribers, thanks to his popular Friday Fretworks videos. But as Buck explains, his content is a tool to help fund his original music—a very successful tool.Still, it's not all sunshine. Buck details how he and his band navigate the brutal economics of touring, including some horror stories of how they ended up losing money on merch sales. Later, we learn how Buck built his signature playing style—mostly by ear and by accident. “I don't think anyone has ever ended up sounding like themselves through sitting down and going ‘Right, im gonna try to sound unique,'” he says. “It just happens over time.”He's gone from YouTube to the Royal Albert Hall, but Buck reveals a quiet concern that he's peaked too early. What do Rhett and Zach make of that fear?

The trio known as Blonde Redhead formed in New York City in 1993, therefore just celebrated 30 years together with the release of their fall 2023 release called Sit Down for Dinner, the band's first full-length in nine years. Their 2024 American tour supporting this record included a February stop at Nashville's Basement East, where WNXP host Celia sat down backstage with bandmates Kazu Makino and twin brothers Simone and Amadeo Pace. They reflected on their history as a band, the look and feel of their fan base, collaborating to pull this record together throughout and post-COVID, and also memorable meals.

Universe: “Super Fuzz or Big Muff?”Mudhoney: “Both!”What else would you expect from a band that titled their mischievously visceral '88 debut EP after both pedals (Superfuzz Bigmuff)?Formed in the late '80s by guitarists Mark Arm and Steve Turner after the dissolution of their band Green River (which included future Mother Love Bone and Pearl Jam cofounders Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard), Mudhoney long ago solidified themselves as the Seattle scene's big brothers and tightest pack. Through their 11 LPs, five EPs, and six live albums, Mudhoney has routinely diversified and further defined their eccentric brand of raucous, aggressive, unfiltered rock 'n' roll. Possibly more impressive than the band's wide influence and devoted authenticity is the foursome's bond. Drummer Dan Peters and bassist Matt Lukin (also a founding member of the Melvins) were the rhythmic bedrock for Arm and Turner's exploding-M-80 tones since the beginning. (Arm and Turner have been friends since high school and have been playing off each other since then.) But Lukin left the band in 2001 because tour life became too much, and Guy Maddison has been thundering ever since. To see a group's career that's pushing past 35 years and only have one member swap is as inspirational as it is baffling. How?!“We like each other a lot. We get along. We love what we're doing,” remarks Arm. “Why stop, even if no one gives a shit?”Friendship matters to Arm and Turner, but gear isn't a concern unless it points them in one direction—east. More specifically, toward Detroit, Michigan. And even more specifically, to the Stooges. Both namecheck the livewire band and their raw power several times in our Rig Rundown. However, in a 2018 interview with Premier Guitar, they acknowledged regenerating sounds that echo influences from Neil Young and the Byrds to Devo and the Dead Kennedys. But after chasing “I-Wanna-Be-Your-Dog” sizzle, what else leads them to the gear they use? Has that mentality changed since the late '80s?“If you think about the aesthetics of where we come from—garage punk, and punk rock in general—a lot of it was made with cheap gear, and a lot of it was reclaiming gear that guitarists had kind of dismissed as garbage. Like the Mustang. That was my ultimate guitar back when I was a kid, but it was poo-pooed when I finally got one. I could get them for $150. The Danelectro and Silvertone amps were kind of high-rated garbage when we were getting into them. We based a lot of our sound on cheap gear, so it makes sense to me that I still buy the cheap gear,” concluded Turner.They're still pragmatic about their setups, preferring equipment that's familiar and reliable. Where they chase the dragon is in stompboxes. Turner trusts the Big Muff (his favorite iteration is from the mid-'80s), while Arm's torrid tone burns with a Super Fuzz clone. However, both have additional hot-sauce stompboxes and other effects on their pedalboards that are being auditioned trial by fire.Hours before Mudhoney's headlining set at Nashville's Basement East, Arm and Turner brought PG's Chris Kies onstage to catalog their setups. Turner started the party by talking about a pair of guitars—his battle-tested late-'60s Guild Starfire IV and a recently-acquired Fender Gold...

GRAMMY® Award-nominated, multi-platinum artist GAYLE joins Joel Madden on this week's episode of Artist Friendly. GAYLE's been having a big year.

When some people travel, they take photos on their phone to remember the trip. Old-soul voyagers will recount their adventures with pen and paper. But for Alejandro and Estevan Gutiérrez, who together make the globetrotting Ecuadorian-Swiss duo Hermanos Gutiérrez, their experiences conjure soundtracks, and a visit years ago to the American Southwest changed their sound forever.A couple years after forming their duo, the brothers took a trip through Death Valley and the Mojave Desert. “It just blew our minds,” Estevan told PG. The desert, he says, “is where our music was born.”“Part of what we're doing is traveling together as brothers,” Alejandro told PG in 2022. “We go to places, we come back and we're feeling inspired, and we feel like we've gotta write something about this place.”After finding bountiful inspiration in the West, the duo began turning out mystical compositions, like sonic souvenirs and passport stamps on their consciousness. “It's just beautiful where we can go with this music,” Alejandro said last year. “It's just my brother and I together, and we're so happy to have this.”The sold-out Hermanos Gutiérrez concert at Nashville's Basement East on June 20th marked their first time performing in Music City since recording El Bueno Y El Malowith Dan Auerbach at Easy Eye Sound in 2022. The pair invited PG's Chris Kies onstage to decode their spellbinding cinematic sounds. The conversation touched on their symbiotic alchemy, enchanting hollowbodies, and how a single Strymon reset their slow-burn backdrop. Brought to you by D'Addario Nexxus 360 Tuner.

Kurt Ballou takes tone very seriously. He's been on the leading edge of aggressive guitar sounds since 1990, and Converge's fourth album, 2001's Jane Doe, is still seen as a game-changing release, with its ferocious performances and masterful production. His sonic temple, God City Studio, is the destination for artists looking to make their rawest, heaviest, brutalist work. Ballou has even developed a gear brand (God City Instruments) that includes guitars, pedals, and pickups, all in the pursuit of turning ideas into art.During our conversation before Converge's sold-out performance at Nashville's Basement East on May 22nd, Ballou dove into his Line 6 Helix spice rack and shared how 30 plus years as a guitarist and in-demand producer have informed his guitar-design philosophy. Plus, he detailed why his goal is to get to a place where “gear doesn't matter.” And then, longtime bassist Nate Newton joined the fun by showing off his “Riffblaster” setup and how a special P-Bass helps him honor a dear friend.Brought to you by D'Addario String Finder.

Tennessee has a rich tradition that has helped shape American music. Memphis was a big contributor to blues, soul, and early rock 'n' roll thanks to Sun, Stax, and the influx of Delta musicians. Nashville has been the long-standing capital of country music, and more recently, has developed as a hotbed of Americana storytellers. The Smokies and the surrounding Appalachian areas have given us bluegrass and undeniable icon Dolly Parton. However, while metal has eluded the Volunteer State's thumbprint, Whitechapel's six roughriders from Knoxville are looking to change that by showing off something a little harder than peepaw's moonshine.Since 2006, the three-guitar stampede has dished out eight devastating albums that combine death metal, hardcore, and melodic black metal, proving the Smokies can slay. This spring, Whitechapel took to the road, playing their seventh album The Valley in its entirety, along with favorites from their earlier work. Originally, their final stop was slated to be Nashville's Basement East, but after it quickly sold out, their promoters elevated them to Marathon Music Works (which, once again, sold out). And that's where the Rig Rundown crew caught up with them to talk gear.Whitechapel's guitarists Zach Householder, Ben Savage, and Alex Wade and bassist Gabe Crisp invited PG's Chris Kies sidestage to cover their signature guitars, the inner workings of their unusual Kemper profiles, and how flip-flopping DiMarzio humbuckers made all the difference.Brought to you by D'Addario String Finder.

“You gotta remember, I wasn't really shit until about a year-and-a-half ago,” Bartees Strange reminds the crowd at Nashville's Basement East just before performing his song, “Hennessy.” “I was just in my basement playing guitar. And my wife was like, ‘Do the dishes ... Do something other than play guitar.' Now all I do is play guitar again [laughs].”Strange (born Bartees Leon Cox, Jr.), is a sponge and synthesis of everywhere he's been and everything he's seen or heard. Born in England and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, his experience performing with Brooklyn-based post-hardcore outfit Stay Inside and a later move to Washington D.C. have all contributed to his singular cosmic sound. He notes during the Rundown that, as an adolescent, his guitar heroes were Thomas Erak of the Fall of Troy and Omar Rodríguez-López of At the Drive-In and the Mars Volta. But in the next sentence, he confesses his love for Nelly.“I always thought people aren't really honest all the time with what they're listening to,” asserts Strange. “I think a lot of people like a lot of things. I grew up in a pretty country town, and everyone would say they just like country music. But I was like, ‘You like the Nelly record, dog. You like Get Rich or Die Tryin', man, and you also like LeAnn Rimes and Toby Keith songs, and Brad Paisley's guitar playing. But you also jam B2K and pop songs, too.' I've never been afraid or ashamed of what I like, so it all goes into my own music.”What he's been saying through 2020's Live Forever and 2022's Farm to Table has been connecting with fans and critics alike. The magnetism is Strange's smooth synergy. This allows him to touchpoint influences from albums like Nelly's Country Grammar, At the Drive-In's Relationship of Command, the National's Boxer, and Phoebe Bridger's Punisher into one harmonious, original package that has landed him on dozens of year-end lists and earned him an 83/100 rating from Metacritic for both of his full-length releases. [Editor's Note: The Metacritic website uses their proprietary Metascore to distill the opinions of the most respected critics' writing online and in print to a single number.]Finishing his earlier thought to the Nashville crowd, he summarized: “‘Hennessy' is a song I wrote when I was a kid, and growing up I thought there was all these weird stereotypes I had to get over to become who I am … [The hook of the song is meant] to kind of say, I know there's all these expectations of what a black person does … but I just want you to see me for who I am and for what I'm trying to say.”He might not have been “shit” 18 months ago, but he's certainly on his way to becoming the something of the sort in the coming years. We'll be here listening and appreciating.Ahead of Strange's final 2022 tour date supporting Farm to Table, Bartees and his guitar-playing compatriots welcomed PG's Chris Kies onstage at Nashville's Basement East to talk shop. During the interview, the trio explained how their “guitar wars” create a compatibly melodic arms race and structure their cohesive sound. We get introduced to a collection of oddball axes and go through their collective...

Swarms of musicians and guitarists have found social media's current 60-second attention span inspirational and fruitful. But what happens after that first minute? Well, for TikTok bass tycoon Blu DeTiger, you become a shooting star. However, her story isn't that sudden or serendipitous. She's been working towards the spotlight since she first picked up the bass to jam with her drummer brother, Rex, at age 7.“He was playing drums and I wanted to play an instrument,” recalls DeTiger. “As a girl, I thought guitar was ‘mainstream' because I saw that everywhere and thought bass was rare and it would be more unique to play. I fell in love with it and my passion took over.”Further fanning her musical flame, she joined School of Rock and performed semester-ending concerts covering Zeppelin, Bowie, Prince, the Stones, and others. She collaborated and performed with Chromeo and Jack Antonoff's Bleachers. Inspired by horn-playing DJs, she even toted her bass to DJ gigs, where she laid down the funkiest lines she could muscle out over the top of her playlists.“I saw people playing saxophone or trumpet over songs they were DJ-ing and I had really never seen bass used in that context. Bass is fire and it should feel good in a club because of the low frequencies hitting you.” An added benefit of the symbiotic sets was elevating her improvisational skills.Then, the pandemic hit and DeTiger took to social media, finding a creative outlet on TikTok by adding dance-y flourishes and bouncy thunder to classic tracks. She earned a spot helping announce Fender's Player Plus P and scored a deal with ALT:VISION Records, releasing the How Did We Get Here? EP in early 2021. She's since graduated to being an UMG Recordings/Capitol Records artist and continues to embrace the snippet culture by churning out singles: “Blondes,” “Blutooth,” “enough 4 u,” “Crash Course,” and “Hot Crush Lover.” Yeah, you might only see 60 seconds of her talent before the algorithm pushes you by, but she's put in years of sweat to get this far. What's the plan going forward? To throw one helluva party, of course!Ahead of her headlining set at Nashville's Basement East, the booming bass star jumped at the chance to give her eager fans what they've been asking for—a Rig Rundown. In the chat with PG's Chris Kies, she covers why she saw the bass as an underdog, how a Jazz tops a P bass, and explains the reason behind not going through her “crazy pedal phase” yet.Brought to you by D'Addario XS Strings.

KingTone's The Duellist is currently Ariel Posen's most-used pedal. One side of the dual drive (the Bluesbreaker voicing) is always on. But there's another duality at play when Posen plugs in—the balance between songwriter and guitarist.“These days, I like listening to songs and the story and the total package,” Posen told PG back in 2019, when talking about his solo debut, How Long, after departing from his sideman slot for the Bros. Landreth. “Obviously, I'm known as a guitar player, but my music and the music I write is not guitar music. It's songs, and it goes back to the Beatles. I love songs, and I love story and melody and singing, and there was a lot of detail and attention put into the guitar sound and the playing and the parts—almost more than I've ever done.”And in 2021, he found himself equally expressing his yin-and-yang artistry by releasing two albums that represented both sides of his musicality. First, Headway continued the sultry sizzle of songwriting featured on How Long. Then he surprised everyone, especially guitarists, by dropping Mile End, which is a 6-string buffet of solo dishes with nothing but Ariel and his instrument of choice.But what should fans expect when they see him perform live? “I just trust my gut. I can reach more people by playing songs, and I get moved more by a story and lyrics and harmony, so that's where I naturally go. The live show is a lot more guitar centric. If you want to hear me stretch out on some solos, come see a show. I want the record and the live show to be two separate things.”The afternoon ahead of Posen's headlining performance at Nashville's Basement East, the guitar-playing musical force invited PG's Chris Kies on stage for a robust chat about gear. The 30-minute conversation covers Posen's potent pair of moody blue bombshells—a hollow, metal-bodied Mule Resophonic and a Fender Custom Shop Jazzmaster—and why any Two-Rock is his go-to amp. He also shares his reasoning behind avoiding effects loops and volume pedals.Brought to you by D'Addario XPND Pedalboard.

https://www.premierguitar.com/lessons/cram-session-thrash-metal-rhythms (Thrash metal) has seen a resurgence since its '80s heyday. https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundowns/megadeth (Megadeth) earned a Grammy for their 2016 album Dystopia, and very recently Stranger Things' brave headbanger Eddie Munson brandished a https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/reviews/b-c-rich-beginnings (B.C. Rich) Warlock for a literally death-defying performance of Metallica's “Master of Puppets” that catapulted the song into widespread pop-culture consciousness. But for metal purists, Municipal Waste and their cofounding guitarist Ryan Waste, plus their track record of seven mosh-motivating albums over the past 21 years, prove the genre's brand of battle-axe riffery wasn't a fad. Sure, the band's sound has diversified the artform with the subtle incorporation of hardcore breakdowns and punk-rock-like choruses—but everything is still in fifth-gear, baby! Ahead of their headlining show at Nashville's Basement East on August 10, PG's Perry Bean jumped onstage to talk gear. Guitarists Waste and Nick “Nikropolis” Poulos prove they can travel light but stay lethal with a few riff-makers, gassed-up Marshalls, and some green and yellow Japanese drives.

Over the past decade and through four albums, Foxing has shown a lot of musical personalities. They've embraced the quirky, eclectic folk of Neutral Milk Hotel. Guitarist Eric Hudson has shown off some deft fretwork wrapped around complex rhythms similar to https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/rig-rundown-tiny-moving-parts (Tiny Moving Parts)' Dylan Mattheisen. They've dabbled in complicated, ambiguous instrumentation that echoes Radiohead. Most recently, the band has flexed a cinematic, post-rock cohesion that connects plot points via varied emotions and energy rather than analogous storytelling. And during the Rundown, Hudson hints at heavier, darker moments to come as they've been writing in tunings reserved for https://www.premierguitar.com/artists/behemoths-adam-nergal-darski-shades-of-black (Behemoth) and https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/rig-rundown-melvins-buzz-osborne-2015 (Melvins). All of these experimentations and transformations have allowed Foxing to carry on without needing a roadmap to their rock. And we're just along for the ride. The St. Louis indie rockers formed in the early 2010s out of the demise of Hunter Gatherer. Originally, the band was a trio with singer/guitarist Conor Murphy, bassist Josh Coll, and drummer Jon Hellwig. Prior to recording their 2013 debut, The Albatross, they expanded to a quintet with the addition of guitarists Eric Hudson and Ricky Sampson. However, Coll left ahead of Foxing's third album, Nearer My God, and prior to recording their 2021 release, Draw Down the Moon (co-produced by https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/rig-rundown-manchester-orchestra (Rig Rundown alumnus Andy Hull of Manchester Orchestra)). And then Sampson departed the band. Murphy, Hellwig, and Hudson are the core members and tour with a rotating cast of contributors. Ahead of Foxing's July 5 headlining show at Nashville's Basement East, Chris Kies hopped onstage and talked gear with Hudson, who touched on his love of “clanky” Strats, illustrated how his dual pedalboards can project him from pastoral to delirium, and explained why it always pays off to have good friends and to hang out at the merch booth. [Brought to you by https://ddar.io/xpnd.rr (D'Addario XPND Pedalboard).]

A lot of bands are lucky enough to carve a career with one big hit. If they're even luckier, they'll ride the wave of an impactful album for decades. But for melodic metalcore heavyweights https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/rig-rundown-all-that-remains-oli-herbert-and-mike-martin (All That Remains), who are honoring their game-changing The Fall of Ideals with a full album play, it's not even their most-popular record. Following on the energy and success of that influential 2006 album, they released five straight albums that landed in the top 10 of Billboard's U.S. Rock chart. The coal fueling All That Remains' locomotive is their propulsive guitar work. The original firepower was supplied by cofounding shredmeister Oli Herbert who was originally flanked by Chris Bartlett. Current rhythm rifleman Mike Martin replaced Bartlett in 2004 and provided the classically trained Herbert a solid substratum to dance all over. That duo defined ATR's harmonious heaviness, https://www.premierguitar.com/mort-deaths-apprentice-gothenburg-metal-riffs (Gothenburg) groove, and aggressive attitude for almost 15 years before Herbert's untimely passing in October 2018 just weeks before releasing their ninth trouncing album, Victim of the New Disease. Since then, the band has continued with blazing flamethrower https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/hooked/jason-richardson (Jason Richardson) (Born of Osiris and Chelsea Grin). Before All That Remains' May 10th headlining show at Nashville's Basement East, PG's Perry Bean had to pick his jaw off the floor and re-screw his skullcap on after seeing the amazing instruments both guitarists Mike Martin and Jason Richardson brought on tour. Martin detailed his beautiful https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/prs-s2-custom-24-review (PRS Custom 24)s while Richardson offered a sneak peek at his second batch of signature https://www.premierguitar.com/news/ernie-ball-music-man-darkray-jason-richardson (Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass models).

Seguimos anticipando el que será nuevo trabajo de Charley Crockett, Welcome To Hard Times, octavo álbum del músico de San Benito. Esta vez es una comparación entre los artistas y los caballos de carreras a través de "Run Horse Run". Lo hace con la mirada de un trovador robusto que recuerda con nostalgia ciertas tradiciones de antaño y que resucita también su diversidad étnica familiar que le emparenta con criollos, negros, judíos y el mismísimo Davy Crockett. En su única visita a España por el momento, Charley Crockett nos contó personalmente sobre cómo ha abrazado toda esa versatilidad y como su afección cardiaca congénita ha marcado su percepción de casi todo. Y ahora lo expresa con un modelo casi cinematográfico con ciertos toques góticos. Mientras esperamos el nuevo trabajo de otro de nuestros cowboy singers favoritos, Colter Wall, hemos encontrado al músico de Saskatchewan al lado del tejano Vincent Neil Emerson, nativo de Fort Worth, y capaz de abrirse camino en los últimos tiempos como telonero de Turnpike Troubadours o American Aquarium y otros nombres más importantes en los últimos años. Criado en el condado de Van Zandt, al este del Lone Star State, por una madre soltera de ascendencia Choctaw-Apache, se fue de casa a los 16 años para dedicarse a la música. Estuvo girando junto a Colter Wall e Ian Noe, lo que le inspiró para componer “Road Runner” que ahora ha compartido con el primero de ellos en un dúo impagable que grabaron hace un año, cuando el canadiense se acercó a Texas para tocar en el célebre picnic del 4 de julio de Willie Nelson. Pudiera parecer que Mark Knopfler hubiera sido invitado a participar en este "Cupboard", uno de los cortes más inspirados de Glad You Made It, el nuevo álbum de Joshua Ray Walker, que debutó el pasado año con Wish You Were Here, muy por encima de lo que suele ser un disco de presentación. Era un trabajo muy personal mediatizado por el cáncer que le habían diagnosticado a su padre. A este músico de Dallas al que le gusta acurrucarse en las profundidades del country blues. Ha madurado en muy poco tiempo y sus nuevas canciones profundizan en desarrollar sus cualidades aprendidas por una larga experiencia sobre los escenarios, también como miembro de Ottoman Turks, un cuarteto tejano que le ha permitido aumentar el nivel y la musicalidad. Mile Twelve es un quinteto con una flexibilidad musical a toda prueba, partiendo de las raíces del bluegrass, que sigue siendo un estilo seminal y propicio para realizar experimentos sonoros. Roll the Tapes All Night Long es un título perfecto para describir un álbum lleno de energía capaz de capturar esa tradición a través de seis versiones. Cuando escuchamos cómo se han recreado en “Whiskey Trail”, un tema que Los Lobos incluyeron originalmente en su álbum Kiko de 1992, pero que Mile Twelve han llevado a los terrenos de Old and In The Way, Grateful Dead y Newgrass Revival, mezclados con la voz de Nate Sabat. Hill Country se ha convertido en una de las bandas más recomendables con su álbum de debut, de título homónimo que viaja por las colinas del country que se reparten por distintos paisajes de estados tan representativos como California, Tennessee, Georgia o Texas, donde han grabado este trabajo que evidencian sus inclinaciones por las formas de SteelDrivers, Michael Martin Murphey o Jerry Jeff Walker. Uno de los momentos más sugestivos es "Dixie Darlin’”, con ecos de veteranos trovadores del Lone Star State. El cantautor Matthew Szlachetka ha escrito una carta de amor a la ciudad de Los Ángeles en "Lifeboat". Esa es la ciudad donde él mismo ha vivido durante años y de la que ha absorbido las esencias de un folk-rock que se desgrana por las canciones que conforman su tercer álbum, Young Heart, Old Soul. Es un tema sobre dejar tu zona de confort para iniciar una nueva senda, la que el mismo está experimentando tras mudarse a Nashville, donde ha grabado junto al productor Scott Underwood, socio fundador de Train. Una vez más, estamos ante una llamada a la unidad de las personas, a los viajes emocionales. Young Heart, Old Soul es un álbum cálido y personal en el que parece caber todo el mundo con la mirada puesta en el futuro. La última vez que vimos a Ted Russell Kamp fue como bajista de la banda de Shooter Jennings y nos prometió novedades personales. El músico lanzará el próximo viernes Down In The Den, que tiene que ver con el nombre de su propio estudio de grabación, un lugar que le “ha salvado la vida” en esta etapa de confinamiento. “Have Some Faith” es un tema con tintes de country blues que el músico neoyorquino compuso junto a Matt Szlachetka y que grabaron juntos en el estudio de Ted. Es una de esas muestras evidentes de que es lógico que sea un músico y compositor en el que siempre se puede confiar. Eilen Jewell, una de las mejores representantes de los últimos años de ese término llamado Americana, en el que se refugian los estilos básicos de la música popular, parece romper esa extraña tradición que aleja en cierta forma a las mujeres de las canciones de la Creedence Clearwater Revival. Desde luego, salvo honrosas excepciones, como Emmylou Harris, no es muy habitual que ellas canten al grupo californiano. Eilen Jewell es una cantautora jovial y positiva nacida en Boise, en Idaho, que aprovechando estos tiempos de pandemia y alejamiento ha querido recordar sus veranos pasados en el Green River Festival, que se celebra anualmente en Greenfield, Massachusetts, grabando esta versión de “Green River”. Aquella canción de John Fogerty dio nombre al tercer Lp de Creedence Clearwater Revival, allá por 1969, y tiene que ver con un lugar donde Fogerty solía ir de niño en Putah Creek, cerca de Winters, en California. El nombre de "Green River", lo tomó, al parecer, de la etiqueta de una botella de gaseosa con sabor a lima. Con la sensación de que es un impasse debido a esta situación provocada por la pandemia, Molly Tuttle va a publicar un álbum de versiones que abarcan desde los Rolling Stones a Harry Styles, pasando por The National o Cat Stevens. También ha escogido un tema de Grateful Dead como “Standing on the Moon”, que formó parte de Built to Last, el último disco de estudio de la banda californiana allá por 1989. Molly grabó las canciones en su casa y se las envió al productor Tony Berg, que reclutó a algunos músicos de sesión para que añadieran instrumentos desde sus propios hogares. También pudo contar con los apoyos vocales de Ketch Secor de Old Crow Medicine Show y de Taylor Goldsmith de Dawes. A este último podemos oírle en esta canción de los Dead. Refugiarse en las canciones en las que siempre se puede confiar ha sido una de las reglas no escritas de este tiempo de pandemia. Y han sido muchos los artistas que han aprovechado en confinamiento para recrearse en grandes clásicos incuestionables. Emma Swift es uno de estos casos. La artista australiana residente en East Nashville ha completado el álbum Blonde on the Tracks, una reinvención de canciones de Bob Dylan que se publicará a mediados de agosto. El trabajo empezó a gestarse hace tres años, pero quedó incompleto y ahora era el mejor momento para terminarlo. Las canciones de Dylan, además, siempre han sido una buena manera de enfrentarse a los momentos difíciles. “Queen Jane Approximately” es la canción de apertura de Blonde On The Tracks con una tonalidad de folk rock muy propia de la mitad de los 60. Precisamente pertenece en origen al álbum de Dylan de 1965 Highway 61 Revisited. Una canción con ciertos tintes de misterio sobre su protagonista y que el bardo nunca cantó en directo hasta un concierto con Grateful Dead celebrado más de 20 años después de grabarla y que quedó reflejada en el álbum Dylan & The Dead. Michaela Anne, la artista del barrio neoyorquino de Brooklyn con residencia en Nashville, sigue siendo una de nuestras favoritas desde que la conocimos acompañando a su buen amigo Sam Outlaw en una de sus visitas a España. Tras el éxito del álbum Desert Dove durante el pasado año, hemos conocido muy recientemente una nueva canción, "Good Times", que aporta un toque positivo al momento actual. De nuevo Sam Outlaw está a su lado en esa aventura de ampliar horizontes estilísticos. Demasiado mediatizado por el complicado divorcio de Natalie Maines, The Chicks han publicado este pasado viernes Gaslighter, su primer álbum en 14 años, que ha contado con la producción de Jack Antonoff, también demasiado mediatizado por su trabajo junto a Taylor Swift o Lana del Rey. El resultado es un trabajo cuya consistencia se focaliza en los ataques enfurecidos de Natalie a su ex pareja, el actor Adrian Pasdar, pasando por encima de todo lo demás. Eso no parece hacer ningún favor a una de las formaciones femeninas más consistentes de los 90 y 2000. El álbum estaba planeado para cumplir su contrato con el sello Sony de una forma sencilla. De hecho, pensaban reunir distintas versiones. Pero llegó el divorcio y todo cambió. Gaslighter tiene textos tan poderosos como “March March” o “Julianna Calm Down”, con letras explícitas, y canciones como “Sleep at Night” hablar sobre dejar a un marido infiel que tiene una doble vida. 2020 está siendo un mal año para todos y de forma muy especial para la ciudad de Nashville, que sufrió un tornado mortal en marzo y que ha visto cómo le seguía la pandemia del coronavirus. Miranda Lambert ha querido que su nuevo single "Dark Bars" refleje la dependencia de la cultura de la vida nocturna de la conexión humana. Los bares cerrados, los taburetes y las sillas sobre las mesas vacías, los escenarios sin músicos son una especie de corazón sin latido. Hoy queremos cerrar el tiempo de TOMA UNO con la esperanza de que todo volverá, de la misma forma que se ha reconstruido el Basement East de Nashville, que quedó arrasado por el tornado hace unos meses.

With a new Ibanez signature model, a backup axe, and a plug-and-play "fly rig", the rock heroine travels light to create the heavy tones on her solo debut, Controlled Chaos. Article & photos: http://bit.ly/NitaStraussRR  Don't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENL  Furious, focused, and expansive, the playing of Nita Strauss is the stuff emerging-rock-guitar legends are made of. During soundcheck at Nashville’s Basement East, PG’s John Bohlinger checked in with Strauss, who was on a break from her regular gig with Alice Cooper, touring in support of her debut solo album, Controlled Chaos. Strauss wrote, produced, engineered, and recorded all the guitar and bass parts on the album, which, in testament to her abilities and her fan base, was made via a Kickstarter campaign that exceeded its $20,000 goal by $145,755. As she rips for our cameras, Strauss, the first woman to have an Ibanez signature model—which debuted at Winter NAMM 2018—talks about her JIVA10 and her backup S6570Q, and puts her fly rig, a Boss GT-100, though her core settings. Check out how Strauss shows off the JIVA10’s radical tuning stability at the 15-minute mark! And yes, she is a descendent of the Austrian composer Johann Strauss.

He talks about his new home recording setup, working on the next Twin Peaks album, the Chicago music scene, meeting Bruce Springsteen, switching his allegiance from John Lennon to Paul McCartney, and the inherent shittiness of big music festivals and R.
