Howlies are playing lots of new songs

Howlies are doing it right. They played 7 new songs last night at the Earl, opening with 6 of them. At least one had never been played live before. I recognized a few of the new ones from the show they played at 529 back in February where they also played a ton of new [ READ MORE ]

Tonight: The Coathangers vs. Yeasayer

If you look at that concert calendar on the right side of the page you’ll notice a conflict scheduled for tonight. When Yeasayer announced tour dates a few months ago, I saw the April 6th date at the Masquerade and assumed I would be going. Since then, two things have changed: I’ve heard Odd Blood, [ READ MORE ]

A Place to Bury Strangers @ Criminal Records, Atlanta, GA, 4/3/2010

A Place to Bury Strangers played an in-store at Criminal Records earlier today. I was pretty lukewarm about their last album, but they’re always great live. Honestly, they’re better at making noise than they are at writing songs, and I think singer/guitarist Oliver Ackerman knows it. Their songs are just vehicles for the noises he [ READ MORE ]

Lyonnais, Abandon the Earth Mission, and Brainworlds @ 529, Atlanta, GA, 4/2/2010

Brainworlds started things off just before 11 with a set of solo guitar drone that sounded a bit like Emeralds without the synth. It was really good. Big, shimmering sounds that flow intuitively from one movement to the next. It was a focused set that built and ended at exactly the right time. I’m honestly [ READ MORE ]

About that Drunkdriver thing

I wasn’t going to write about this, but since DA brought it up in his earlier post, I decided to go for it. Short version: Jeremy Villalobos used to be in a band called Wives with Randy Randall and Dean Spunt. While he was in the band, there were apparently two incidents were he got [ READ MORE ]

Some belated thoughts on Harvest of Hope

I said I would do a Harvest of Hope wrap-up, so here it is. I could have written a lot more, but after wading through too many exhaustive SXSW reports, I think it’s a little self-indulgent to drone on about whole damn thing. If you really want to know about each and every band I [ READ MORE ]

Spoon/Deerhunter @ The Tabernacle, Atlanta, GA, 3/20/2010 (setlist)

This was my first time at the Tabernacle, and I’ve got mixed feelings on the place. We took the MARTA to avoid paying out the ass for downtown parking, and I would definitely do it again. The Peachtree stop is convenient, and taking the train means you can have a few more drinks. Or maybe [ READ MORE ]

Harvest of Hope begins Friday, March 12

Prior to making plans for this years Harvest of Hope festival, I hadn’t checked out No Idea Records’ website for at least three years. Realistically, it was probably closer to five. I can’t say for certain, but I’m fairly sure that nothing much has changed. There are new bands, and new records from old ones, [ READ MORE ]
