Review: Howlies – Stunned EP

As an indicator of where Howlies are headed, the 5 song Stunned EP is cause for optimism. It shows growth from their already good debut and finds the band moving away from some of their jokier tendencies without totally shedding the winking sense of humor that has always been a part of their sound. That [ READ MORE ]

This week’s shows (11/8/2010-11/14/2010)

  Monday (11/8/2010): Tonight’s two best bets are on very different ends of the musical spectrum.  If good-natured, slightly dancey indie-pop is your thing, and you’ve never found either “twee” or “saccharine” to be a valid insult, Freelance Whales and Miniature Tigers at the Drunken Unicorn is where you need to be.  That’s totally not [ READ MORE ]

Catching up with local releases

Here are four reviews that should have been up here a long time ago.  I’m still not caught up, but I should hopefully have a few more done by the end of the weekend.  Albums reviewed below: Qurious – Planet Plant Trench Party – Kitchen EP Carnivores – If I’m Ancient Mermaids – Tropsicle[ READ MORE ]

Barroco Music Festival happens this weekend at The Goat Farm

I forgot to include this in my weekly show previews, but it’s definitely worth checking out.  It’s totally free and features 10 great local(ish) bands.  The last free festival at the Goat Farm was one of the best things to go down in Atlanta this year (more about that here), and I expect this one [ READ MORE ]

[PICS] Sealions at The Tabernacle, 10/28/2010

I’ll have pictures and a more thorough write up of last night’s Metric show up later, but in the meantime, here are some pictures of local openers Sealions.  It was cool seeing them on such a big stage.  I hope they got made some new fans last night, and it would make sense if they [ READ MORE ]

This week’s shows (10/25/2010-10/31/2010)

  Monday (10/25/2010): Franz Nicolay headlines a big bill over at 529.  He’s probably most well known for his time on keyboards for The Hold Steady (he’s the guy with the ‘stache), but he’s also played with World/Inferno Friendship Society and, most recently, Against Me!.  In addition to all that, he’s put out a couple [ READ MORE ]

Woodruff Arts Center’s Nights on the Piazza concert series (9/30-10/28)

I didn’t include tonight’s free Sealions/Tealights show at the Woodruff Arts Center in this week’s show round-up because I didn’t know it existed until last night (hat tip to Sealions’ twitter).  Apparently it’s part of the Nights on the Piazza concert series that brings free shows to the Woodruff every Thursday night between September 30th [ READ MORE ]

This week’s shows (9/27/2010-10/3/2010)

Monday (9/27/2010): Tonight’s best bet is probably math-rockers Tera Melos at WonderRoot, with local openers Vegan Coke and Thy Mighty Contract.  If that’s not your thing, there’s also Japanese cult heroes Guitar Wolf at the Drunken Unicorn with Hans Condor and Charges. Tuesday (9/28/2010): I never really got into either Pedro the Lion or David [ READ MORE ]

This week’s shows (9/7/2010-9/12/2010)

I ended up taking it fairly easy last week and only managed to catch Sons of Tonatiuh and Dead Rabbits. That’s less likely to be the case this week. There’s a lot going on. Tuesday (9/9/2010) – Tonight’s the slowest of the week.  There’s free funk and soul at 529 with “members of Georgia Soul [ READ MORE ]
