Today is the official release of Vinyl Thief’s single, “Smooth.” It is off the electro-pop band’s first full length album, “Fathom,” scheduled for a fall 2013 release. The project was funded via Kickstarter by fans worked into at lather by the band’s 2012 EP, “Rebel Hill” (And for good reason; listen to the namesake and admire how gloriously schizophrenic that song manages to be.) “Smooth” is a swell of ethereal synth and drum tracks punctuated by unexpected structure changes. Vinyl Thief is bringing their ecstatic energy and multiple keyboards to 3rd and Lindsey August 16th, with Joy of Painting and Machines are People Too. -Terra James-Jura

There's still time to mark your calendars for the show we've put together with Apple Road, featuring Milktooth, The Gills, and Vinyl Thief! The show is taking place this Friday at the Stone Fox and we can't wait to see you. In fact, we are so excited to see you that we've added a special twist to this show...

In addition to our rad lineup, we're giving you the floor here at The Deli Nashville. All you have to do is come to the show and grab a ballot, use it to tell us what you think we're missing out on in our local music scene, and we will use those ballots to update The Deli Nashville! Easy peasy.

Come out, have fun, support local music, and raise the bar on how we return the favor.

We're excited to announce that, on April 26th, we will be bringing our latest party to the Stone Fox in west Nashville! Partnering with Apple Road (the media family behind our beloved East Nashville Underground), we are bringing to the stage Milktooth, The Gills, and Vinyl Thief!

Over the course of the next two weeks, we'll help you to become acquainted with the bands who will be ruling the stage throughout the night. First up, we have Vinyl Thief, the electro-rock four-piece who are recently home from a successful run at SXSW. Though the band has been around for a few years, they have been making a lot of noise over the past few months, from their fantastic set at East Nashville Underground, to their performance at Road To Bonnaroo, to their stop at OurVinyl, where they performed the three songs from their Rebel Hill EP, including "Faces," which you can watch below.

Details about the show are available here, and we can't wait to see you!
