concert reviews: December 2008 Archives

Saturday, Dec. 6: The Square Room on Market Square officially opened with a well-attended set by My Brightest Diamond. The space is something of a marvel--hardwood floors, immaculate fixtures, a stage that seems to be visible from anywhere, and stunning acoustics. And who were all those people?

You've got several chances to try the place out before the end of the year: The Ten Out of Tenn singer/songwriter showcase stops in on Wednesday, Dec. 10, and locals Scott Miller, Todd Steed, and R.B. Morris play together on Wed., Dec. 17.

Sunday, Dec. 7: David Byrne mixed a bunch of Talking Heads covers and versions of songs from his two albums with Brian Eno during his concert at the Tennessee Theatre, according to Jack Neely.

I wouldn't know, since I was across downtown at the Valarium, watching Animosity, Annotations of an Autopsy, All Shall Perish, and Job for a Cowboy. The place was near capacity just after the doors opened for several hours of deathcore (and one set by a band that sounds like Shadows Fall).
