Zero Mile & The Bowery South Presents: Los Colognes w/ Migrant Worker at The EARL
Friday, February 15th at 8:00pm
One of the highest and rarest aspirations in popular music is to reach for the transcendental, to access the spirit. On the third album ͞The Wave by Nashville based Los Colognes, they succeed just this- in breaking through the confines of everyday pop song lyricism to tell a sort of holistic story. It͛s not a concept piece, but it͛s a brooding and still joyful song cycle filled with philosophical rumination, effortless hooks, inspiring musicianship, and expansive arrangements.

Yukons, Kibi James, Fran & Pinkest + DJ Florista at 529
Saturday, February 16th at 9:00pm
Yukons is a little engine making a lot of noise. They carry a big sound and a big message representing the Latin American community through their music. Yukons is Latinx Expression, carrying a garage/punk rock sound with Spanish and English lyrics. -Georgia State Signal
With “Clockwerk,” the lead single from the band’s upcoming first full length, Yukons are looking to step out from the shadows and into the light. Like most of their tracks, it toys with traditional classic rock tropes—guitar-heavy song structures; the brooding, mysterious frontman—before subverting them with a series of off-kilter rhythms and compositional left turns. Listen close and you’ll start to make out the origins of the trio’s compelling template—a bit of Pixies’ manic accessibility, a dab of Slint’s corrosive crunch, a touch of Sleater-Kinney’s jagged urgency. It’s not a new sound by a long shot, but the band plays with eager confidence and an underlying sense of deep anxiety tempered by clear-eyed cool. Life on the margins can be hostile and dangerous, but “Clockwerk” shows it can be plenty powerful, too. – Immersive Atlanta
Awake At Last/ Moreland the Shooting/ The Keepsake/ Youngdriver at The Masquerade
Sunday, February 17th at 7:00pm
Both as a band and as individuals, Awake At Last continue to stand for positivity, spirituality, self-help and making an impact every single day. Having achieved a lot in 2018, including a stint on the final run of the Warped Tour – commencing the day after they finished tracking The Change – appearing on the iMatter Festival alongside Underoath and August Burns Red and opening for Asking Alexandria in Louisville, Kentucky, the band are striding into the fifth year of their existence on a high. Catch them this Sunday at The Masquerade with local support form Moreland the Shooting, The Keepsake and Youngdriver.
