nightmare of you will be at the cafe on sunday, may 25th. to be honest, i'm 30 and know nothing about them. maybe some of you can fill me in (sami, keni, et al). of course i've listened to their myspace music, i just don't want to pretend to know all about them when i don't.
what i do know is that nightmare of you is bringing edison glass and paper rival with them. i've listened to edison glass for a long time and paper rival played the cafe two months ago. both bands represent the best that the indie marketplace has to offer: rich, layered, thoughtful music and lyrics and entertaining live shows. of course you'll only find this out if you buy a ticket to the show and come hang out! it's on the sunday before memorial day so you hopefully won't have school and work and will want to come hang out. tickets are cheaper ahead of time, come by the cafe either of the next two friday's or buy them online here.

promoting this show is a nightmare

bands from nashville that are actually good
paper rival played the cafe wednesday night. i'm not going to charm you with fancy words and write a proper review, i'm just going to say that if you're a fan of anything in the ballpark of as tall as lions, colour revolt, brand new or the new frontiers then you should check paper rival out. their ep is solid, their live show is great and they have a full length due out in june.
so there you go, i'll save you the absolutely ridiculous similes (this blog is as stylistically weak as a 7th grader climbing the rope in gym class) and just throw you the heads up: paper rival is for real and they're going to be a household name (a really artsy household that likes music).
and in case you're not convinced by my sub-par blogging, i'll just mention that they were formerly known as keating and sold quite a few records as such and they're also one of ap's top someone's of 2008 (okay seriously, every ap i see has a list of a hundred someone's that will do something sometime soon). so yeah, paper rival is one of those.
catch paper rival at the cafe on sunday, may 25th with nightmare of you, the graduate and edison glass.
