The Real Benefit for Criminal Records, this Saturday at The Cottage

It would be a shame to see Criminal Records disappear from the local music landscape.  In addition to having the best selection of new vinyl in town, they are really unmatched when it comes to putting on free in-store events.  Criminal is just a great place, one of my favorites in Atlanta, and I’m ecstatic [ READ MORE ]

[REVIEW] Small Reactions – “Nerve Pop” b/w “Teaser Trailer/Sudden Walks”

Small Reactions‘ second 7” further establishes them as perhaps the most affable band in Atlanta.  The band distills post-punk, classic ’90s indie, a touch of surf rock, and even a bit of krautrock into something easily approachable that they call “nerve-pop.”  That also happens to be what they call the song found on the A-side, [ READ MORE ]

This weekend’s non-Animal Collective shows

This weekend’s big indie ticket is Animal Collective out in Alpharetta, but there are some great local options happening ITP as well.  Behold… The Sour Notes, Venice is Sinking, Lille, Elaine Greer - Friday, July 8th – Highland Inn Ballroom Austin’s The Sour Notes will be in town to support Last Looks, their recently released [ READ MORE ]

[VIDEO] Small Reactions at Little Advances House

  Small Reactions is one of my favorite local bands to catch live, so I was incredibly happy that they were able to play the last house show.  I caught their entire set on video, and you can watch it above.  Part 3 has a pretty dead-on Pixies cover[ READ MORE ]

This week’s shows (5/9/2011-5/15/2011)

Ted Leo (solo), Gentleman Jesse (solo), Carnivores – Wednesday, 5/11/2011 – The Drunken Unicorn Some of the best shows I’ve ever seen have been Ted Leo and the Pharmacists shows.  I don’t think Ted’s capable of phoning it in, which shouldn’t surprise anyone who’s followed his career.  He’s a relentlessly principled lifer that clearly loves [ READ MORE ]

[MP3] Small Reactions – “Sudden Walks” (demo)

Being a fan of Small Reactions‘ first 7″ (my review), I’ve been looking forward to hearing some new material from these guys.  They were nice enough to share a demo of new song “Sudden Walks,” which will make its live debut at The Earl next week (flyer above).  The track has the same shaggy, laid-back [ READ MORE ]

This week’s shows (1/24/2011-1/30/2011)

Monday (1/24/2011): Small Reactions released their first 7″ back in November.  I liked it. Unfortunately, they haven’t played live since the accompanying release show, which is a shame because their jangly post-punk goes over really well live.  Make sure to catch them at 529 tonight (it’s a free show, too).  Also on the bill are [ READ MORE ]

[REVIEW] Small Reactions – “Cult Hero Jonathan Lewin” b/w “Fat Zebra” 7″

Armed with guitars that are equally adept at being both jagged and jangly, Small Reactions play a daylight-friendly take on post-punk that wants to be your friend.  Those dual guitars bounce around on A-side “Cult Hero Jonathan Lewin” until it sounds like the track’s wrapping itself up sometime before the four minute mark.  But then [ READ MORE ]

This week’s shows (11/15/2010-11/21/2010)

  Monday (11/15/2010): Brooklyn’s Liturgy signed to venerable indie label Thrill Jockey last week and stirred up some debate about the increasing overlap between indie rock and metal (specifically black metal, as that’s what Liturgy specializes in).  Is there an actually increasing intersection between the two, or are there just a handful of metal bands [ READ MORE ]
