I’m often asked what the process of signing a band looks like, or more to the point, how exactly a band goes from getting the attention of someone that does what I do, to actually inking a deal. Contrary to popular belief, A&R people don’t walk around with contracts in their back pocket ready to […]

The Flaming LipsEmbryonicWarner Brothers By Al Kaufman There are two sets of Flaming Lips fans.

Left Lane CruiserAll You Can EatAlive By Al Kaufman Left Lane Cruiser is called a lot of different things. Most say it's a blues band, but they are also a hard rock band with a lot of Southern fried attitude. They are their own category. Call them Industrial Redneck, or Country Thrash. Backed by Brenn […]
I spent the weekend in Nashville attending the Next Big Nashville Music Conference. I saw several great bands from that fine city, but the two that stood out the most were from here in Atlanta. It’s always good to see a band from my town playing in another city because there’s a much different energy […]

By Scott Roberts The idea of a phone interview with Fran Healy scared me. For two reasons. One, having the opportunity to talk to one of my honest-to-goodness musical heroes – the angel-voiced, principal songwriter of Travis, a band who has created some of the most consistently melodic and engaging pop-rock of the last 12 […]
'60s pop flavored indie rockers The Dutchess and the Duke will be returning to Atlanta for a show at The EARL on December 16.
