Hey ${token1},
Welcome to the latest Atlanta Music Guide newsletter.

This AMG newsletter is sponsored by Heavy Mojo's & Hybrid-L's CD Release Parties:
Former AMG featured band Heavy Mojo are releasing their debut CD It is What it Is on June 7th. The seven piece hip hop/rockers have just returned from playing the main stage at the Florida Music Festival, where they caught the attention of acclaimed producer Rodney Jerkins (Michael Jackson, Destiny's Child, Britney Spears), who arranged for them to play the festival main stage again on the following night. Heavy Mojo's self-produced disc features the upcoming single "Radio" and a killer cover of Nirvana 's "Polly." The band will celebrate their new debut with a CD release party TONIGHT at The Loft with Aerial 2012, Family Force 5 and FreeSol. www.heavymojomusic.com

Bubbling up from the core of bands, Hybrid L has exploded into the forefront of artists in last 12 months. Jagermeister and Danq clothing have taken notice and jumped onboard as sponsors for Hybrid L, representing them proudly as they grow throughout the country and the industry. Touring relentlessly all over the southeast from Myrtle Beach, to Panama City and everywhere in between, they have tallied over 80 shows in the past 11 months. With an EP and a full length CD, done completely independently, the band is releasing their new CD Disguises TONIGHT at the Velvet Underground at the Hard Rock Cafe'. Rounding out the show will be Echovalve, Uncrowned, and Agynst. www.hybrid-l.com
