Forget the Grand Ole Opry, there are new and most exciting bands in East Nashville than anywhere else in the world. We meet his star, Pujol Paperhead by Jeff the Brotherhood

On a sunny Sunday afternoon, this place looks a lot like hippie central. Wooden houses - those that you see growing in the dramas of the United States - Sit in the large lawn and healthy. No evidence of a thrift store, a record store or bars in low light. Only houses and more houses, divided by the occasional mini-band in a coffee hub, cold cuts, the gas station. However, this intimate area of ??East Nashville, across the Cumberland River from downtown, is now home to perhaps the highest concentration of interesting guitar bands of the city of White Stripes and his cohorts on Detroit garage at the beginning of the last decade.

It Pujol, playing a confused version of unrestricted rock and roll, there is no natural son, with his clumsy Stonesisms, cream, strengthening a more traditional indie rock; Watusi D, so the rhythm pop, Paperhead are teenagers, offering a tight knot in style to recreate the sound of Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd at the time, no noise, the brother of two pieces of Jeff the Brotherhood This would be the parents of all this, but to be your own PET, teens in Nashville, which caused a brief sensation in the middle of the last decade. Oh, and did we mention one of Jeff was also in be your own PET? There are more, too - as regards diarrhea planet, and its reversal side take hardcore punk

And the house thing. These are the places where the bands mentioned above learned to manage their instruments of his will, to play to the crowd. Meemaw take home. This is where Daniel Pujol - now the creative force and the only permanent member of Pujol and a graduate student in world affairs - began putting on shows that fuel house both the current scene. He started making music at the University of Murfreesboro, just outside of Nashville, because there was "tired of seeing people smoke weed and play

and are not allowed to speak. "Sitting in a cafe called Cafe Sip, made a vague gesture of the street. "I moved here to find people who were interested in community life, they really wanted to make art. I moved across the street from there in a large Victorian house and me and some people have experienced with the stage of life together. "

He was joined by Wes Traylor (now illegitimate) and Jessica McFarland (now cream) and the three formed Meemaw. "We had no money to go on tour," says Pujol, "so we decided to tour around -. Basically, looking for all the bands we liked and we would do shows with them in the basement "They were able to meet Jeff the Brotherhood, and the appearance of bills like-minded bands in Nashville." He stood about three shows a week where there were 100, 150 people in our backyard, and the last show we did the first time the police called me. "

lot of thought went into putting on the strips. "If we want to launch programs, we have local groups and be completely different aesthetic areas," said Pujol. "It was a lot of different people who were in a lot of different things, coming to a place aesthetically deliberately included . With some really cool Christmas lights. "

order to promote himself and his friends sat in university classes that use MySpace for any traveler and everyone. Come the evening show, which led to "meet new people, and created many new bands."

"These shows were very big house in the development of this wave to escape at that time," said Jeremy Ferguson, who has seen dozens of youth groups in the battle of bands study at home in East Nashville. "Many of these bands being formed in the bands that played in the basement, or with children. Each wave stripes is where they got their things , and many of them were here with Meemaw and Jeff. "

guitarist Jake Orrall was 15 and his brother Jamin kind just 13 when the Brotherhood was founded in 2001 Jeff. Like many in the underground scene in Nashville, who have family ties to the music - his father Robert Ellis Orrall is a composer and producer, Taylor Swift to his credit - but Jamin does not think that makes a difference regarding options for brothers. "Dad never did what we did," he says of the house shows, the tour of turn-of-a-car, the documents published on their own. "I had been in the music business, but when we started traveling on our own, just a step back and said,". You do what you want "just start backup programs through our friends, playing as many shows as we could for whatever money we could get."

After his fifth album, 2009 of aa heavy Days , Jeff decided to go full time. "We were both back in Nashville, both working and we both really enjoyed this album that I had never really tried to push our group -. We visited every summer just for fun -. We have decided that we would try to make 100% We both left our homes, put things in the store and just went for the next two years. "His work has led to increased interest in his garage in Nashville , and suddenly its extent became clear.
