The Ettes Move to Nashville
You might have checked out the gritty, sugary rumble of The Ettes at Springwater or Grimey's last year, or The Basement this year. But if you didn't, no worries: The formerly Los Angeles-based garage poppers just relocated to Nashville.
On why they chose the Music City, the band says via email:
"We needed a place to call home after two years of being on the road and homeless, and Nashville just worked out! We've been housesitting for a friend for the past two months after our Black Keys tour in the UK, and then we just randomly found a perfect house, so we decided that we would stay. It's perfect for touring the states, and it's cheaper than LA or New York, so that all adds to the appeal as well!"
If you're curious, you only have to wait a week to see them. Their CD release show is at The Basement on Friday, Aug. 29, but the night before they'll DJ a dance party under the name Swiz Kids at Springwater.
