One of the perks in working for Atlanta Music Guide is being asked from time to time to interview an artist who has an upcoming show in the area. Often these bands are up-and-coming, ones that can use every bit of extra buzz they can squeeze out of a city before showing up to perform […]
Members: Taylor Mulitz on guitar, bassist Daniel Saperstein and drummer Emma Baker This past week I was put in touch with the band Flasher from Washington D.C. They just completed a tour including a show at The Earl this past June, and are planning a return to Georgia when they play at The Georgia Theater […]
A couple months ago while catching up on some of this year’s SxSW highlights, I came across the band A Place To Bury Strangers. The author chose to use them as the main photo for the article, but the description of the band itself left a lot to be desired (writing a review for 30+ […]
I recently got the chance to sit down with Midnight Larks, who just put out their self-titled debut LP and celebrated it with a release show at The Earl on March 31st. I had seen them on local and festival lineups, but honestly didn’t know a ton about the band. Before meeting up with them […]
To help you get ready to check out some new music at Shaky Knees this year we had a quick Q&A with one of our must-see bands of the festival, *repeat repeat. Hailing from Nashville, TN, *repeat repeat (https://www.repeatrepeatmusic.com/) features the husband and wife team of Jared and Kristyn Corder who write and record […]
If you missed it, Atlanta Music Guide had the chance to chat with Ann Wilson before she arrived in Atlanta this week, one stop along the way of her busy summer tour. We were also lucky enough to attend her show on Tuesday at The Buckhead Theatre and will do our best to review it […]
For the days (maybe weeks) leading into my interview with Ann Wilson, I essentially performed the mental version of pacing around nervously. What will I say? What can I ask her that will do any honor to 40 years of influencing music? Will the Queen of Cool think I’m cool? With my sights set […]
Here’s all you need to know: Mondo Cozmo is named after Josh Ostrander’s, Mondo Cozmo frontman, dog. Anybody who names a band after a dog is good people and Josh showed up to our interview and quickly proved my theory right. Fresh off a tour with Bastille (we’re talking literally the night before) he is sarcastic […]
I have a guilty confession. Outside of pre-req interview research and a quick listen “to get a feel for their sound,” I didn’t know much about Run River North when they showed up to meet me. Do you know what I’ve been doing ever since then? LISTENING TO THEM. Without batting an eye, […]
I was admittedly pretty excited to sit down with PUP at Shaky Knees. I met them in the press room as much a fan as a writer, having seen them live a few (every) of the times they’ve played Atlanta. (RIP, Masquerade.) Speaking of, the band shared a fond anecdote with me about hanging out with Masquerade […]
Atlanta Music Guide got to sit down with Max and Mike of the Arkells at Shaky Knees, their last stop on a two-week run of US shows before a brief stint home in Ontario. From there, like many Shaky performers, they officially kick off their summer festival season. First stop, Sasquatch. The Arkells recently did […]
Every once in a while, you interview a band who brings you in, makes you family, inspires you to decidedly become their cheerleader. Every once in a while, you don’t get to your questions. You don’t talk much about their upcoming music. You don’t ask about their influences. Instead, you meet and ask about their […]
If ever a band lived up their name, it was The Sonics. Formed in 1960 in Tacoma Washington their brand of high-intensity Rock and Roll took the dance-crazed audiences of the Pacific Northwest by storm. Featuring the other-worldly screams and howls of Gerry Roslie, crunchy guitar work, hard-driving sax and keys and machine gun drums, […]

Bruce Hampton TONIGHT, May 1 at 7:30 p.m. Members of Widespread Panic, Phish, R.E.M., and more will gather to celebrate the legendary avant-garde musician’s 70thbirthday, with proceeds benefitting the Fox Theatre Institute, as well as other music-minded charities. Atlanta Music Guide got to chat with […]
Bruce Hampton, known widely as Col. Bruce, or Bruce to everyone he knows, who it seems is actually everyone, showed up to our interview wearing a “Pluto is a planet” shirt, signaling instantly that he was the kind of guy I wanted to talk to. We met to discuss the upcoming Hampton 70 show at […]
