Description

Ace Of Cups presents Liz Cooper with special guests New Madrid. $12 ADV / $15 DOS / 21+ Liz Cooper- On the porch of her one-time Nashville home, Liz Cooper had a multimedia project that combined two of her loves: lips and cigarettes. She painted her own lips with red paint and kissed a canvas two or three hundred times, later dotting them with the detritus left behind in ashtrays by her friends. An overlap of intimacy, indulgence, cheekiness, and sensuality, the piece complements Cooper's roiling second record, Hot Sass. Over jagged, frenetic guitar parts, Cooper sets expectations aflame with the record's title track. Her songs unfurl like smoke spiraling off an incense cone late in the afternoon, with Cooper pushing deeper into psychedelic openness, punk ferocity, and beyond. https://open.spotify.com/artist/58irgKwXTjCCuYQB58aXeH New Madrid - When the New Madrid earthquakes of the early 1800s finished rumbling, the Mississippi River famously ran backward for a period of time. This was temporary but resulted in one permanent change: the rearranged flow of the river actually created a new peninsula known as the Kentucky Bend. This part of the state is completely isolated from the rest of Kentucky surrounded on three sides by the Mississippi River and to the south by land that belongs to Tennessee. When New Madrid (the band) last put out an album five years ago, they lived as one unit in Athens, Georgia. Gearing for a 2020 release, Phil McGill moved to New York -- creating a Kentucky Bend of his own. It's unexpectedly become a phase reminiscent of how the band got its start: writing with Ben Hackett, Alex Woolley, and Graham Powers in Tennessee and McGill in Georgia. It wasn't the plan though, as the band was due to share their forthcoming self-titled album. https://open.spotify.com/artist/0jaTIcOjgmYpF1sfudFAsW Ace of Cups is a 300 capacity club with live music, dance parties, craft beers and cocktails, pinball, patio, and award-winning BBQ at the adjacent Ray Ray's Hog Pit.
