– As you may have noticed in our Weekend Picks post, Interpol are bringing moody dark synths and guitars to The Tabernacle on November 1 and Metric will be coming on October 28.
– For those who like their twee stories of cold states in America told in a slow, thoughtfully-measured way, Garrison Keillor is coming to the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre on November 17.
– The EARL is gearing up for Trailer Vic’s (the folks from Drive Invasion) Beach Party on September 5. There will be a for-reals beach set up with a pool, cocktails and music from the likes of Walk the Plank (outside, poolside) and Laramie Dean, The Forty-Fives, Grinder Nova and more.
– Team Luis is gearing up for a killer new night this Thursday called Thursday Deluxe, which takes the place of Pop Death Squad’s Big Trouble in Little Five Points. The inaugural night will feature the sounds of Brain Box, Good Night Insomniacs (with A Fight to the Death acting as backing band) and The Terror. It’s at Star Bar and it’s free. Sweet. The next night Star Bar will host yet another Team Luis show, this time with Miniature Tigers, killer Atlanta rockers Young Orchids and Lera Lynn. Ticket link for this show and posters are below.
