BEAT

The influence of electronic music and technology is more prominent than ever on rock’s national scene, but Nashville’s rockers have been a little sluggish about incorporating synthesizers and beat machines into their usual repertoire. In an effort to remedy this deficiency, yet another local music collective has crawled out of the woodwork—this one calls itself BEAT. Aspiring to build a thriving community of electro-oriented rock ’n’ rollers, BEAT hopes to bridge the gap between synthetic and organic music. Their first event is scheduled for Thursday night and features funky white kids Kink Ador, rock-heavy hip-hoppers Knapsack Heroes, Quiet Entertainer and DJs Viper, Melator and Kidsmeal. 9 p.m. at Exit/In —SETH GRAVES

KINK ADOR



KINK ADOR From Lafayette, Ind., Sharon Koltick is a bass-playing singer and songwriter with a flair for subtly reggae-inflected pop tunes that embrace '80s new-wave ennui. Having already garnered notice in the Indianapolis area for her band Kink Ador, Koltick moved to Nashville a year ago and promptly assembled a new edition of the group, which includes guitarist and violinist John Zambricki, keyboardist Wade Van Orman and drummer Brad Naylor. They've been writing, and lately have been recording with producers Jack Clement and Mo Sweeney at Clement's famed Cowboy Arms Hotel and Recording Spa. Clement says he plans to sit in with the band at a show later this summer, and Kink Ador has cut a new-wave version of Allen Reynolds' "Ready for the Times to Get Better," a 1978 country hit for Crystal Gayle, which ought to suit Cowboy Jack's aesthetic just fine.
