Baby Baby are performing second.



"There comes a time in every bands life when they must ask their selves “what are we doing?” Yeah we know life gets rough but, it’s the music that makes you want to forget about that sorry stuff. What are we doing? We are playing music!! Music that makes us dance, makes us sing, makes us want to keep playing songs for you with every entangled organ we own. We’ve heard the sad stuff and that just isn’t going to do. Truly ask yourself, look deep inside you and search for the answer… when was the last time you got your face painted? When was the last time you danced to some fun rock, baby? Tomorrow the light bill is due but tonight, without a doubt, we dance."1

DJ Fudge is one of the hosts of the party.



DJ Fudge Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh)

For the most part, DJs all get their starts the same way typically working in someones basement, spreading around to the house parties and weddings, and eventually, with intense work, becoming the hometown favorite. Though DJ Fudge is no exception to that rule of thumb, he is far from the typical DJ and is exceptionally talented. He has the honors and medals to prove it.

Having memberships to such affiliations as: Smokin Needles Records (headed by DJ Rasta Root and Phife formerly of Tribe Called Quest; Second Sight Productions a working group of DJs, MCs, label heads, and producers; the TasteMakerDJs record pool and crew; and the 5 Star Generals crew there isnt much of the Atlanta club or radio scene that Fudge hasnt touched. You may have heard his grooves on 88.5 WRAS award winning show The Bomb or the instrumental hip-hop show Hush Hush. Being a General, he also lays claim to holding down the waves at 91.1 WREK on The WREKroom Renaissance and other stations on various nights as well.

When not floating the airwaves, he is a regular DJ for 3 Dot Productions, where he performs at the promotion companys large-scale events such as the nationally popular Breaklanta, extravaganzas. Being so well rounded, he has no problems moving the thespian world by performing in art galleries around the city such as the Atlanta College of Art, Trinity Gallery, and the High Museum of Art.

Still with a wealth of talent to show, Fudge can rock with live musicians such as Slick and Rose and Womack. He has had the opportunity to work and open for artists such as Slum Village, Joi, Fertile Ground, Psyche Origami, J-Zone, and Phife Dawg. If that still isnt enough, Fudge has also had the pleasure of moving the crowds overseas including a stint with 5 Star Generals for the DefKut Records Fonky tour in Europe.

DJ Fudge is now the newest member of the hip hop group MSEIZE! So you can now catch them on stage bringing that real hip hop to the masses. Fudge has also just released his lastest mixtape called "All You Can Drink". So be sure to check for that and many other projects from him and MSEIZE.

It is not often a DJ with this much versatility and style comes along. Liken him to that of a comet: It breezes by, the wonder of it grabs you, and everyone talks about the experience for days!

Sinister Moustache are performing second.



A swathe of black, wrapped in shadow. Can it be? The hair of the left hand itself, borne on the lips and skewed minds of four individuals singular in purpose. Behold! The Sinister Moustache.

"Never boring or predictable is what makes Sinister Moustache so much fun to listen to. Hypnotic with out of this world melodic thought passages make Songs From The Super-Sargasso Sea just an amazing record. Peculiar? Absolutely. These guys are down right brilliant." -SEAOFTRANQUILTY.COM

"Their style of confrontational, technical, mostly instrumental art-metal is just about the opposite of commercial." -Connect Magazine

"Each song is like a piece of avant-garde classical music they've translated into their own language...there is rarely repetition, rarely a time signature or a tempo that doesn't get flipped at some point, and rarely does Sinister Moustache give their listeners longer than a moment to relax into it. " -Murmur Magazine

The Humboldt Trio are the openers.



The Humboldt 3The Humboldt Trio has been a band since early 2008 with two founding members, jerad and clayton. After a few lineup changes with the bass, they found Michael towards the end of that year. The band has a free demo and are working on a full length to be independently released some time in 2010. Jerad and clayton have been in bands together for a few years now. Shoot the messenger, moving to canada, and panda attack are some of the bands they've been involved in. these projects were mostly grind and hardcore. these projects have played with unpersons, the blame game, big penguin, a gun called life, anne august, me and him call it us......etc; and played along side with fellow members such as ryan sims, josh swafford, josh hill, jeremy hill, adam halmark, and others equally as gifted and musical.

Tight Bros presents Fucked Up on Saturday, September 11th, 2010



ucked Up is an experimental Hardcore group from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The band formed and played their first shows in early 2001. The initial practicing lineup consisted of 10,000 Marbles (Guitar), Concentration Camp (Vocals), Mustard Gas (Bass Guitar) and Chris Colohan (of Left For Dead/The Swarm fame, and was lead vocalist for now-defunct Cursed). Just prior to recording their demo tape, Concentration Camp moved to guitar and vocal duties were taken over by Pink Eyes (also known as Mr. Damian). Drums are played by Mr. Jo (also credited as G. Beat or J. Falco).

Following the release of the demo, the band embarked on a long series of 7" records. The band released the "No Pasaran" 7" in May 2002. The Police 7" was released on March 2003, quickly followed the Baiting the Public 7" in May 2003. Two more 7"'s followed in 2004, the Dance of Death single, and the Litany 4-song ep. The vinyl releases to this point were collected on 2004s Epics in Minutes CD. The band was the subject of a two-minute 16 mm film showing its links to the Toronto hardcore scene, a local infoshop and punk radio show.

The band's use of imagery and symbolism (notable the use of Sigils) took a decided turn after the release of Epics in Minutes, as it was followed by two limited 12"s, the Looking for Gold 12", and the live Let Likes be Cured by Likes 12". The Looking for Gold 12" contained no liner notes or credits, no song titles, and a hidden track. It was self-released by the band in 2004 in two limited runs of 300 & 400 copies. The title track was 16 minutes long, used 18 guitar tracks, had a three minute drum solo and contained 5 minutes of whistling.
Following an interview in Maximum Rock and Roll, that discussed some of the bands politics and identity, including mind control and allusions to fascism and nazi mysticism. The release of a split 7" in 2004 with the band Haymaker contained a picture of Hitler addressing a Hitler Youth Rally in 1938.

In the summer of 2004 the band released the Generation 7" and 12" eps. After touring for most of 2005 the band took on David Eliade as a quasi-full time manager/promoter. In early 2006 Eliade began shopping demos of songs from the planned Hidden World album to labels, ending with the band signing to Jade Tree Records for an early fall 2006 release of the album. Jade Tree is distributed by Touch & Go which in turn has a distribution agreement with ADA (Warner Music Group). Jade Tree licensed the vinyl version to Deranged Records, which released it as a double album in November 2006.

Several other records, such as Year of the Dog 12" were released, before the band went on the European tour, visiting England, Germany and Spain, among other places. January 16, 2007 marked the band's live television debut on MTV Live, where they were introduced as "Effed Up".[3] During their performance of their song "Baiting The Public", the majority of the audience were moshing and causing damage to the set (also visible was a cut from lead singer Damien's forehead), resulting in a sum of $2000 in damages. This performance sparked controversy and resulted in MTV Canada banning moshing from future MTV Live performances.[4]

On October 9, 2008 the band returned to MTV Live, this time performing in the men's washroom. Once again, the band (and their fans) caused a large amount of damage, destroying the ceiling, spray painting walls and knocking over amps and a motorcycle which was brought into the washroom as a prop. Fans, who were told beforehand to stay out of the washroom and to watch from outside the door, rushed the doors and joined in the destruction the band had already started. The band was supposed to play three songs, but were stopped after the first song as MTV was not aware of the destruction the band had planned and were concerned about the safety of the band, audience and crew. On October 10 Abraham blogged about the performance on the MTV Live website[5], saying the bathroom performance was fucking out of control terrifying.

In November 2007, the band played a show in New York that was filmed for the movie Burn, directed by Richard Roepnack. The performance was reviewed in the New York Times, although the name of the band was unprintable under the newspaper's editorial standards.[6]

The band signed to Matador Records in Spring of 2008. That summer, Matador reissued the "Year Of The Pig" 12" single. This time it came out with additional formats including a series of three 7"es, for the US, UK and Japan respectively, each with a different edit of the A-side and a new B-side. A CDEP compiled all the versions from the various vinyl versions. The band toured extensively in the UK behind this release, following it with a trip up the West Coast.

On October 7, 2008, Matador released Fucked Up's second album, "The Chemistry Of Common Life." It has received near-universal critical acclaim from publications such as the NME, The New York Times, Blender, Pitchfork, Alternative Press, Q Magazine and many more. [7] The band toured the Eastern US in October, including a much-covered 12-hour long show on the Bowery in New York on October 14. They were joined by musical guests including Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend, Moby, John Joseph of the Cro-Mags, members of Endless Boogie, Les Savy Fav, Dinosaur Jr., and others.
In 2009, Damian Abraham was invited to become a regular guest (appearing one to three times a month) on the Fox News show Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld, which he had previously appeared on twice.[8]

In 2009 Fucked Up took part in an interactive documentary series called City Sonic. The series, which featured 20 Toronto artists, had lead singer Damian Abraham inside Rotate This talking about his love of vinyl and punk music.[9]
Fucked Up are confirmed to play the ATP New York 2010 music festival in Monticello, New York in September 2010.

The Coathangers are performing second.



It all began in that dimly lit back alley in the summer of 2006. It was there that four ladies of leisure, bound by circumstance, joined forces to disorganize rock and/or roll. Forged from the blood of aborted fetuses and risen from the ashes of blunt roaches... Coathangers will devour your immortal soul. Who's in? You?? If you said no, fuck your dad... your mom's alright.

Tight Bros returns to the Drunken Unicorn with Best Coast who will be headlining the Drunken Unicorn on Friday, September 10th and this show is SOLD OUT.



Beach blanket lo-fi pop from Bethany Cosentino, (ex-Pocahaunted.) Inspired by Bethany’s longing for Los Angeles while spending her days in NY attending Eugene Lang College, Best Coast sprung forth during her first days back in California. She says we can expect “songs about summer and the sun and the ocean and being a lazy creep,” with “drums, beach boys bass lines, and other amazing things” added by her friend Bobb Bruno.

Best Coast website

Cults are the second band.



"There's more information on the wrapper of a candy bar than there is on the Internet about Cults. The band's got an un-Googleable name and no MySpace page in sight. They do, however, have a sparse Bandcamp page, where their first 7" is listed for release on December 23, 2012. We have discovered that they are a boy/girl duo, that they live in New York, and that they are both film students. And we know that they have a killer song on that 7" called "Go Outside".

The song's opening suggests that Cults have a slightly sinister sense of humor. Where the title suggests fresh air and a proactive trip into the sunshine, we first hear a quote from the ultimate cult leader, Jonestown figurehead Jim Jones: "To me, death is not a fearful thing. It's living that's treacherous." What follows, though, is pure butter: "Go Outside" has the innocent and balmy feel that brings to mind Swedish indie pop, with a tinkling glockenspiel cutting through humidity, an appealingly lazy bassline, and joyous sing-along vocals. But for all its simplicity, there's some deep feeling coarsing through "Go Outside", and Cults transcend the song's Free Design-inspired 1960s pop origins. "You really want to hole up/ You really want to stay inside and sleep the light away," the song chides, surrounding the voices in enveloping reverb, before following with, "I know what's good/ Exactly 'cause I have been there before." And then it takes you there." - Larry Fitzmaurice

Cults website

Carnivores are the openers.



"The Carnivores' keyboardist, Caitlin Lang, is classically trained in piano, but on "If I'm Ancient" (Double Phantom), the group's appealingly messy second album, she sounds equally trained in punk barking. On the breatless "Parent's Attic," she's petulant, and on the riveting garage-rock number "Summer Shades," she's sweetly shrieking. Ms. Lang shares vocal duties with the guitarist Nathaniel Higgins, who sings drily, and the bassist Philip Frobos, whose bright tone anchors the band's songs, which have become more digressive and dirtier since it released it's first album, "All Night Dead U.S.A." (The band also includes the drummer Ross Politi.) That album had a tropical undercurrent in the mode of early Vampire Weekend or Abe Vigoda. It's here, too, on songs like "Cause She Never Stops," which could be the soundtrack for a chase scene on surfboards. "Georgia Power Company" has it, too, but also shows the band's development, drowning it beneath a woozy psychedelic haze." - The New York Times

“Once the record stops, you want more, and more, and more.” Filter

Dave Daniels & The PTA will be headlining on Wednesday, September 8th, 2010



"One thought to keep in mind about Dave Daniels as you listen to "Just Like Ghosts" is that he's a writer just as much as he is a songwriter, singer or guitar player. He's always editing, always paying close attention to detail and always leaves room for his audience (reader, listener) to interpret. But he's also-- on some songs, certainly-- achingly personal and confessional. And the audience can't help but pay attention and feel what he's saying... but in their own way. In short, he does what an artist is supposed to do.

But Dave Daniels isn't the kind of person who wants congratulations on something he's supposed to do. He's too focused.

"This is all I've been doing for two or three years is working on this giant thing," he says, with a heaving sigh. "I mean, besides a 100 page collection of fiction and poetry."

In his sigh lies the sound of relief of having so much work behind him, but the realization of all that's in front of him, too.

At 25 years of age, Dave is still new to the music world.

"Every young artist is essentially an imitator in the beginning," he says, making no egotistical exception for himself, though Daniels insists he's coming into his own. “But I’ve been doing this for almost ten years, nonstop since high school. Finally, I feel like music is something I can do pretty naturally. I like this record.”

"I feel like I can kind of make my own song now," he says, even as he sticks with the folk tradition of covering music from old standards to songs from his contemporaries, a style that's very much a part of him. He openly acknowledges the influence of those he's tried to shake yet keeps coming back to, the kind of rock stars that only need one or two words to evoke their place in rock cannon: Lennon (his childhood hero), Dave Matthews (“he is the one that made me go out and get a guitar and learn how to write my own songs), and of course, Bob Dylan. “I don’t even want to talk about how much his music, his life, means to me.” He says and looks away as he blows a puff of smoke out of his mouth before his CD Release show at the EARL in Atlanta, GA.

He was inspired by another one-name phenom, given Daniels's and his music's newfound maturity.

"I was so inspired to get up to the Obama inaguration," he says, visiting the nation's capital in the middle of the long recording-and-writing process of "Just Like Ghost”.
The historic inauguration was not only a huge boon of inspiration for his music, but a bookend for his young-adult life.

"My first month in college, 9/11 happened ... I was on Capitol Hill protesting in 2003," he says. "So many of us have felt like we've been trapped in this world of darkness, holding our breath, waiting for this person to leave office. And there's a black president now? And there's social change? The country is happy about it? I mean, it’s like the smoke has finally cleared on the bitterness that has been choking us for so almost ten years. I mean, there are problems now, worse than ever, I guess, but at least some of now can be hopeful. It’s a nice feeling, even if it’s only that…a feeling."

His voice spans from a tone of darkness to one of encouraged, cautious optimism in a matter of moments. It's a sign of nuance; a sign of maturation and evolution. One that gives Daniels a broader vision, making him quick to back off being too political in his music. It's poignant, then, that he describes Natalie Merchant's "Motherland" (a cover song on "Just Like Ghosts") in a bigger context.

"That song and ‘Lose Your Wings’ are really the songs I like the most because they aren’t just about feelings and rock and roll. Those songs are like prayers for me. I don’t know…it’s nice to be able to lose yourself in a song and be able to convey something that is bigger than your own life. I like all the songs on the record, but those two songs are really important to me." he says. “I feel a bit more at ease talking about those kinds of topics now than I would have a few years back. All I was doing was venting feelings, whether good or bad. Now, I feel like I can write songs that might mean something to someone else other than myself. Who knows? That part isn’t up to me.”" - Paul De Revere

Lauris Vidal will be performing second.



"Opening was folk troubadour Lauris Vidal. One of the most active and credible ambassadors of the DeLand scene, he’s a champion of the new old-timey, digging through the dusty trunk of folk music like an impassioned archivist and breathing life – even youth – into it.

Due to a family emergencyThe Body had to cancel their show @ the Drunken Unicorn on Saturday, September 4th. The whole show has been cancelled as well.



The Body are drummer Lee Buford and guitarist Chip King, two robust, bearded Arkansas boys living in Providence, R.I. In press photos, they brandish automatic weapons, some of which are triumphantly splayed on the table that stretches across the gatefold package of their second album, All the Waters of the Earth Turn to Blood. Buford and King cite Jim Jones, Shoko Asahara, and Charles Manson as influences, and, in 2005, they turned Body Count's "Copkiller" and M.D.C.'s "Dead Cops" into sludgy voids on a 7" single. They've appeared on stage wearing potato sacks and nooses, and the cover of All the Waters showcases the pair dressed like ancient hooded Chinese soldiers.

This is probably where you roll your eyes and check out, figuring that these would-be metal/ hardcore/ noise/ whatever tough guys will never sound as bothered on tape as they might appear on paper. Well, you're wrong: Like the best of Eyehategod or Bastard Noise, All the Waters is the rare album that feels truly dangerous. As it crushes and collides doom metal, harsh noise, industrial rock, and gospel singing into one mean mess, it seems to obey no rules but its own. The result is a singular, explosive masterpiece and one of the year's essential heavy exploits-- even if, at turns, it sends you cowering.

All the Waters is an album of detours and surprises. You'll see the Body mostly referred to as a doom metal duo, but don't hang too many notions on that reductive nail. Rather, All the Waters is played by 32 people, including the 13-member Assembly of Light Choir and a score of folks who earn credit not only for keyboards, drums, and viola for but also for noise, sousaphone, and drum programming. Two of these seven tracks begin with slow, controlled, Earth-like riffs-- that is, quintessential, doom metal. Both evolve quickly. "Even Saints Knew Their Hour of Failure and Loss" corrodes its repetitive riff with a piercing din; the choir's gorgeous chant tugs upward against the low-hanging load. Everything disappears except for Buford's drums, a circle of snares and cymbals wrapping the distant chime of a church bell. King's lacerating squeal cuts in, quoting Yeats: "And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches toward Bethlehem, waiting to be born?" It's music that has more to do with Current 93 than Earth, more with provocation than perfection.

Indeed, after a few dozen listens, the Body's risks and adventures still shock me. Almost uniformly, they deliver songs into chaos. The album begins, after all, with four minutes of beautiful choral singing. The Assembly of Light Choir offers a wordless hymn, harmonies rising and falling, melodies wrapping around one another like the cotton strands of some imagined heaven. Eventually, a voice slips from the flock, her line dropping into a mournful gospel quaver. The rest of the choir follows, their voices dragging and slinking, as if covered with the shadow of an unnamed malice on the horizon. When that beast arrives-- noise swells, shattering drums, monolithic slabs of guitar-- it's the sound of something beautiful being obliterated. Similarly, "A Curse" starts as a ruptured dance number that, a few minutes later, is an arrhythmic, atonal wasteland. "Empty Hearth" begins with a sample of a church group (taken from the strange Sounds of American Doomsday Cults album) offering a prayer; by track's end, their recitation has been chopped and screwed until it sounds like strangles and gasps.

On paper, All the Waters is a grim record, as lyrics outline the failure of science, nature, man, gods, and prophets in pithy bursts. But unless you're reading along, you'll never know any of this. King's strained, unintelligible voice seems constantly at the brink of being swallowed by the sounds around him. Those sounds are troubling enough, recorded and mixed so that the guitars and drums always feel like they're too loud for the equipment and room meant to contain them. The record itself is a smartly designed simulacrum for the lyrics, recreating the sense of impending darkness by creating a sound that swallows itself. The young indie rock bands now using cheap microphones and analog hiss to shape their songs are often criticized for obscuring shabby songs with shabby sounds. The best of those bands, however, use production to reinforce their ideas and give them an extra bit of depth. The Body does just that here, letting rough-and-tumble production add even more anxiety and trouble to seven songs that were bothered as is. Smart choice: All the Waters of the Earth Turn to Blood is the seldom collapse-of-the-world record that's actually as disturbing as it wants to be. — Grayson Currin, August 10, 2010

Phalanx are performing second.



We formed about a year and a half ago, wanting to play thrash metal with a harcore/swedish death metal edge to it, with a lot of other things mixed in. we've had several bass players try out and one who was able to play with us for a while, but for about 6 months we haven't had one. We're about ready to record our first EP, as well as putting out some of our first merch. If you see us on a flyer, come check us out if you're interested in either trying out or if you just love good metal!

Athens Boys Choir is performing second.



Ok, so the name Athens Boys Choir can be a bit deceiving but you can't blame a Transsexual man living in the Deep South for having a sense of humor about the whole ordeal. So Katz, the Choir's now solo member, travels the country speaking "the good word" throwing down hard hitting spoken-word that deals with issues of Gender, Politics, Love, Sex, and everything in-between.

Katz's spoken-word is raw, unapologetic, witty, and soulful. As Out Magazine wrote in 2006, "Katz avoids falling into the common spoken-word trap... and instead uses engaging wordplay, razor-sharp wit, and hip-hop rhythms." He has had the honor of sharing the stage with such artists as Ani Difranco, Indigo Girls, Bitch, The Butchies, Danielle Howle, and Michelle Malone. He has also opened for poets of HBO's Def Poetry Jam on more than one occasion.

Being a out Transsexual, Katz's spoken-word often becomes a platform for education and activism, but all work and no play makes for one intense performance so he lets loose with sarcasm, pop culture references, and video's featuring Barbara Streisand as Yentl and sassy footwork by the stars of the 1979 hit "Roller Boogie."

Athens Boys Choir has been touring nationally since 2003, performing for audiences that are becoming more diverse everyday. You don't have to be a spoken-word enthusiast to enjoy the lyrical stylings of the Athens Boys Choir. Katz has the unusual skill of opening even the most skeptical minds to the world of performance poetry. With three CD's already out and a fourth due for release on March 27, 2007, Katz/The Athens Boys Choir has established himself as a force in the spoken-word/queer/pop culture/homo-hop movement; you choose how it moves you.
