STARGAZING – STAR BAR EDITION
Adron, July 17 at Star Bar
By Erik Stefan, In the premiere underground club on the East Side of Atlanta, I flashed to a tropically-fused environ that I imagine would be somewhere along the coast of Spain. The red lights behind her head only further enhance this transformation. If it weren’t for the allergies that only ATL can provide, I’d have [...]
Tonight: Jukebox the Ghost at Star Bar
About a week ago, we told you (at Alex’s request) to mark this date to see Free Energy at the Star Bar. Today, we’re going to give you another reason to get out tonight – Jukebox the Ghost.
They draw regular comparisons to The Ben Folds Five because they are a piano driven [...]
Free Energy, June 3 at Star Bar
This one’s for Alex. He loves these guys and probably will drag me to the Star Bar to see them.
This is their new video for “Bang Pop” which seems inspired in equal parts by Twisted Sister, Van Halen and the Ramones, except of course the hair isn’t as big, the solo isn’t [...]

Chuck Prophet, March 11 at Star Bar
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 [...]

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 [...]
Worth Checking Out – Whores and Attention System
In addition to being a “freelance journalist,” I am a musician and songwriter.
I’m also a big nerd and I like to go to the discussion forums on Harmony Central. I yack about effects pedals and which vintage fuzz boxes and delay pedals are cool and worth collecting. I talk about the merits of using carbon comp resistors in tube amps, how to eq a mixing board and I also gab about the music business.
I try to gain some clarity about where I fit within this industry and how I can help bolster other talented individuals’ careers and move them to the next level. At this current stage in the game, unfortunately it appears to me as if many local and DIY artists have been labeled as ‘whores” scrambling within an “attention system,” struggling to gain a foothold in this business by using social media and free music.
So I figured, why not write about Whores and Attention System? Because ironically I met members of both of those bands through Harmony Central, they both just so happen to be based in Atlanta and I like their music.
Attention System has a sound very similar to the Killers. There’s definitely an eighties new wave influence running throughout their songs and I’m sure fans of the Cure, Videodrone, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Orgy will appreciate their music.
Whores is a bit more edgy, but they have a completely different sound and ultimately different musical objectives. Their music is brash, bold and intense and fans of Kylesa, Baroness and Young Widows will appreciate their sluggish sound.
Both of these bands have shows on Saturday, Feb. 13, so choose wisely. Attention System will be performing at the Vinyl and you can hear them here. Whores will be at Star Bar with Subrig Destroyer and you can hear them here. Enjoy.
*No, the members of the bands Whores and Attention System are not attention seeking whores, but you get the picture.
