MARKUS SCHULZ & M MACHINE AT ANTHEM
By Joseph Howard
Nashville’s newest upscale venue, Anthem, looked and sounded great Wednesday night as eager ravers packed out the newly renovated three-tier space — previously Mai — to see performances from the San Francisco electro-trio the M Machine, and the Miami-based Markus Schulz, one of the world’s leading trance DJs.
Those present were treated to an intricate stage set up, complete with an elevated platform, two giant LED screens, a full light rack and the booming sounds of Anthem’s detailed sound system.
If this is any indication of things to come, Nashville’s nightlife is about to get a whole lot better!

EAST NASHVILLE UNDERGROUND
Winter 2013 was a festival of many surprises and firsts on Feb. 15 and 16. This winter season was the third season in the East Room outside from Co-CEO of ENU, JaredCorder’s basement. The ENU festival had 20 bands and two DJs playing Friday night, Saturday day and Saturday night with headliners Colorfeels and Moon Taxi. Each night show was the festival’s first-ever sold out show.
Live Twitter feeds, free beer, a energetic crowd and a man strip down to his suspenders and pants on stage during Moon Taxi was just a portion of what happened during the festival. Read more of the coverage at goodbammsho.blogspot.com
