By Al Kaufman Fountains of Wayne is not your typical success story. The New York-based band came up with the name after driving by a yard art store in Wayne, N.J., then quickly signed with Atlantic Records in 1996. They were subsequently dropped after their first two albums did not sell up to Atlantic’s expectations. […]

For only $7, college students could gain access to the museum’s permanent collection, two bands, one DJ, two art workshops, and the museum’s featured exhibition, […]
By Amanda Miles The Dirty Guv’nahs from Knoxville, Tennessee have been described as “a passionate, jubilant slice of rock meets Americana.” Their gritty roots sound brings crowds to their knees and awakens a funk vibe that has long been missing from the rock scene in the south. Interestingly, The Guv’nahs were born from academia, members […]
By Amanda Miles There is no simple way to describe Drake White. Raised in Hokes Bluff, Alabama, Drake is reminiscent of an era bygone, filled with soulful cowboys and storytelling troubadours. Drake is no overnight success story, tirelessly playing the bar scene in Nashville for years before a fateful meeting with producer/songwriter Jeremy Stover that […]

She might only have a small role to play, but it’s still exciting to see our lovely Janelle doing some new songs. And Fun. aren’t too shabby either. We’ll be excited to see the band when they return to Center Stage on March 9. Fingers crossed for a special appearance by our favorite tuxedoed girl!
By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn Yes I suppose you could be with the tons of people who will be at some sort of big bash, getting shoved around by the smelly guy next to you…or you could be in Smith’s Olde Bar having their annual wildest New Year’s Eve party ever! Back by popular demand, Atlanta’s […]

By Ellen Eldridge; photo by Cindy Frey Atlanta-based band, Mastodon, recently released its fifth full-length, The Hunter. While less progressive than Crack the Skye, it shows a return to riff-based writing that both fans and the boys in the band can enjoy live. The finale of the current tour takes place at Atlanta’s Tabernacle on […]
By Ellen Eldridge I’ll be honest; with a name borrowed from a Smith’s song and a history of hooking up in Junior High School, Girl In A Coma instantly recalled my first attempts at starting a girl group. My basement band never found fruition because my best friend and I couldn’t come up with a […]

Their independently-released album “i want! i want!” has hit the airwaves and fans seem to really like the “poppy art-rock quartet” as described by SPIN Magazine. Currently, they are working on […]
