 The great people involved with Nashville Game Developers have come together to bring Nashville its very own game jam! The purpose of this event is to not only learn the basics of game design, but to make it as easy as possible for anyone (yes, anyone!) to participate. Nashville Game Jam (Facebook) The game jam will be using itch.io to publish the games, so if you want you can make an account ahead of time and join the group: Nashville Game Jam - itch.io On Friday night, the teams will form up and spend the weekend writing, coding, and scoring an original game. If you don't have design experience, or are not tech-savvy, don't worry! There are plenty of ways to contribute and everyone is welcome. You'll make new friends and have a working game by the end! Friday night is also when the theme is provided, which the teams will have to use as a basis for their games. However, the theme is broad enough to accommodate lots of different ideas and approaches. But don't worry about any of this—everyone's in this together and there will be plenty of help and guidance along the way. Here are the details: Nashville Game Jam hosted by Moo Creative Media 2115 Yeaman Pl Suite 310 Nashville, TN 37206 Friday, September 18th at 6pm until Sunday, September 20th at 6 pm. (You do not have to stay the whole time and can come and go as needed. Try to be there in the afternoon on Sunday as the teams finish up and demonstrate their games for everyone!)

      Unfortunately, I didn't make the show in time to catch Elliot Root's performance, but I heard it was wonderful. Here are the first couple of shots from Shakey Graves (ft Rayland Baxter) and Lord Huron. Keep your eyes peeled for continued coverage of the festival season right here at LLN! ✌🏽 Jenny Unfortunately, I didn't make the show in time to catch Elliot Root's performance, but I heard it was wonderful.

It's a blessing and a curse. Not only do you have to decide what you're going to miss out on, you don't have a good excuse for staying home and watching Sense8 with your cats.
To wit: tonight, a twist on the usual showcase is being provided by Nashville Rage hosting H8 off 8th at Mercy Lounge. Eight bands, fun times, drink specials (usually), and free to get in. Also tonight: local badasses Study Hall take to the stage with Girlpool and Frankie Cosmos over at the Stone Fox. NGL we might cry a little bit so try not to stare, and anyway you'll be crying too. Three bands, drink specials (I think?), and $10. You can't go wrong either way, except you'll also go wrong no matter what, so make a decision and go do it. Regrets are for Boro kids.  August 28, join us at Exit/In for Fantasy Creative Network's free art experience Eclipse, featuring music from Chalaxy, Girls and Money, Western Medication and Fable Cry along with live performance art, interactive exhibits, fashion, oddities and more. 8pm. Free.  Sunday, July 26 at Bicentennial State Park (Jefferson & 7th) 2pm Bring art supplies, blank canvas and non alcoholic drinks to stay hydrated!  Bully plays tonight at the Stone Fox, but we're told it's sold out. If you were lucky enough to get a ticket, we'll see you there!
The midnight movie at the Belcourt this week is Kill Bill: Vol. 2. Their current lineup also includes two high-profile music documentaries in Amy and Love & Mercy. The 4th Annual Karaoke Music Awards are taking place at Neighbors on Saturday. Sunday brings us ALIEN: The Musical, written by Nashville songwriter and playwright Gregg Garner. Read more about the play on the official site. 
It's almost time! The Chef and Tony Starks are rolling into town on Tuesday to celebrate the 20th anniversary of one of the most influential rap albums of all time, supported by Brooklyn rapper Dillon Cooper and local artist Jung Youth. Get tickets through Marathon Music Works.
There's also a contest happening over at 2l's on a Cloud if you want to try and win some free tickets. Check out the trailer for Purple Tape Files, an upcoming documentary about the making of Cuban Linx:  Nashville's latest success story is coming home for one night in the middle of an enormous tour supporting their new record, Feels Like. The venerable Bully will tear through a set at The Stone Fox on Friday, where frontperson Alicia Bognanno used to run sound. So you know it's gonna be tight.
Word on the street is that the band will have some of their limited edition vinyl on hand and I would highly recommend buying one if you can. It looks awesome, it sounds awesome—what more could you want? Come out and enjoy the tunes along with sets from Quichenight and Gnarwhal. We'll see you there. Bully with Quichenight & Gnarwhal The Stone Fox 712 51st Ave N Nashville, TN 37209 9 PM - $10  Everyone's favorite chanteuse, the magnificent Rae Hering, is performing Thursday at the Bunganut Pig in Franklin.
