Friday, June 18 – Collective Efforts and Vonnegutt at Smith’s Olde Bar
Old school ATL hip hop group Collective Efforts traded in the turntables for a full band and added just the right amount of funk and soul to their live performances. It’s possible the CE crew have finally found themselves after nearly a decade of making music and touring the country. Vonnegutt were so good at combining hip-hop and pop music that Outkast’s Big Boi signed the band to his Purple Ribbon Records. So whether you’re a fan of golden-era hip-hop or you prefer your rhymes be playful and sprinkled with poppy beats – this is the show for you!
Friday, June 18 – Jacuzzi Boys, Thomas Function, Young Antiques and Sodajerk at Star Bar

With a full bill including the Jacuzzi Boys, Thomas Function, Young Antiques and Sodajerk, we know it’s going to get hot and sweaty and after one too many PBRs we fully expect to see the entire venue dancing away another Atlanta summer night. TICKETS AT DOOR.
