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
