The all-ages club Drkmttr in East Nashville has become the center of the city’s growing indie, punk, and hardcore scenes. Philly’s Mannequin Pussy have played their ferociously catchy power punk in the tiny room, while Nashville’s hometown favorites Shell of a Shell push the boundaries of experimental rock. “We don’t book things based on whether or not it’s going to be financially successful,” says Kathryn Edwards, Drkmttr’s co-owner and promoter. “We book it because we like the music.” – Rolling Stone
