Our pick
Fruit Flies, Friend Store
Friday, October 9, 2026 · 9:00 PM · The 5 Spot, East Nashville
The Read
Fruit Flies and Friend Store are the kind of booking the 5 Spot does constantly and gets little credit for — bands early enough in their run that no one has decided what they are yet. There is no press release to go on here. The bill reads like guitar music made by people who play out often, which in East Nashville usually means it will be tighter than the flyer suggests. The 5 Spot is a Five Points bar with a small stage, cheap drinks, and no velvet rope of any kind. A nine o’clock start on Friday means you can eat first and still catch both sets. This is the pick for a night when you want a show rather than a specific show.
