Chuck Prophet, March 11 at Star Bar

leave a comment

There once was a time when you didn’t have to describe an artist like Chuck Prophet as a singer-songwriter who delivers high energy songs influenced by rhythm and blues and american folk sounds. You would simply call it rock n’ roll.   Chuck Prophet is a hidden treasure for those who are still wearing the grooves [...]

We are delighted to be able to share this fantastic video for the first single from the forthcoming debut LP from Luna Versus You. The song is called “Lights Out Lovers.” The video is the work of the über-talented Brad McGinty.

The Good Graces, March 5th at The Mint Gallery

leave a comment

The ides of March is supposed to the fifteenth (which is why our book club is reading Fool this month). However, the crazy stuff seems to be happening to us on the 5th. First, we were supposed to go out and see Orange Twin Record’s Madeline at the 529 and that show was [...]

The Soft Pack, March 25 at the Earl

leave a comment

Nobody can seem to talk about this San Diego foursome without answering the unasked question: “What did these guys used to be called?” Being the trendsetters that we are, we will do it too. If it still matters, the band was formed under the name, “The Muslims.” They recorded a handful of singles and an EP [...]

Tonight: Jer Coons at Smith’s Olde Bar

leave a comment

Jer Coons dropped into our in box this week (that has been happening with increasing frequency lately) and we listened to it almost right away (which regrettably happens with less frequency). We started with the track below, “Girl in My Head,” and liked it enough to drop this post. We haven’t heard much [...]

Tonight: Dave Alvin at Eddie’s Attic

leave a comment

In a quote that seems inspired by a line from the original Blues Brothers film, Dave Alvin will tell you that he plays both kinds of folk music: soft and loud. It’s been enough to get him Grammy nods and a legion of loyal fans. His latest efforts, Chris Gaffney Tribute: The Man of Somebody’s Dreams [...]

Ha Ha Tonka, March 5 at Star Bar (CANCELLED – New Date)

UPDATE: In a turn of events good for the band and only somewhat less good for us, Ha Ha Tonka has been picked up to support the national tour of Murder by Death. They will still make it to Atlanta this spring but we will have to wait until April 20th and the show [...]

New Video from The Constellations

leave a comment

Atlanta’s own variety of southern hybrid, The Constellations, will finally take bloom this spring with their debut full length on Virgin US.   In the meantime, they are on the road working hard to spread their reputation like kudzu.  With a foot in almost every bucket of influence that might make your booty shake – soul, [...]
