By Julia Reidy “One of these things is not like the others” seemed to be the theme at Eyedrum last Tuesday night, as a four-band show sent the audience bouncing between acts from serious to kidding, ambient/noise to pop, hipster to humor. All Sesame Street lessons aside, the two local openers, Balkans and Lyonnais, approached […]
By Stephanie Roman It seemed fitting that both Attention System and Entertainment shared this evening’s stage with The Prids from Portland; Atlanta’s underground post-punk scene should be proud. These two local bands stand out as part of an exclusive and extremely talented pool of Atlanta musicians that also includes the hauntingly beautiful trio Feeding Fingers. […]
Great Lake SwimmersLost ChannelsNettwerk By Alexandra Edwards Scattered amongst the St. Lawrence River, there exists an archipelago known as the 1000 Islands.

Maybe it's the cover art: scrubbed up and featuring a close shot of Taylor's face, the title written in a girly cursive and adorned with flowers. It looks like it'd […]
Last summer we were all treated to a monthly party thrown by Judi Chicago and Noot D'Noot. The two shake-you-booty-delic bands are bringing it together for a two-night stint at Smith's Olde Bar on July 3 and 4.

By Samantha A. Parvin Pendulum, the drum 'n' bass/rock/electronic four-piece from Perth, Australia, was an appropriate booking for a Wednesday night at Center Stage; there didn’t seem to be many “9 to 5-ers” in the crowd who would need to get up early on Thursday morning. Pendulum’s fan base is undeniably eclectic, and the […]

By Alexandra Edwards Playing the Loft can be a mixed bag. The venue is wonderful, to be sure: spacious, with more than decent sightlines, friendly bartenders, and comfy couches to chill on. But some nights, the drum mix sucks. Sadly, this was the case at Tuesday night's Glasvegas show. From the moment the drums came […]
