We'd reported earlier on a show with Janelle Monae, Tendaberry and more at Rialto Center for the Arts on April 3 (tonight). We've just got word that the show has been canceled, though we're not sure what the reason is yet. From Janelle's blog: To my dearest supporters, it is with great disappointment that I […]
The Greater Vavoom are throwing an after party for the slightly mad, underwear-loving Lady Gaga following her Atlanta show at Center Stage on April 9 at neighboring venue Vinyl, where they will also be, of course, playing. The band is also opening for antique-rappers Lord T & Eloise on April 24 at Smith's Olde Bar. […]
Cage The ElephantCage The ElephantJIVE By Eileen Tilson What is it with dirty Southern musicians raised in churches, catching success in England? Is there something our U.K. buddies can hear before we all catch on? Kings of Leon, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, found their success across the ocean, before getting any love at home, and […]
We regret to have to inform y'all that The Explorers Club have had to postpone their show at The EARL tomorrow due to illness. Local faves Tealights and Mary O Harrison will still be playing though, so it'll still be a great show! UPDATE: The Explorers Club will be back in Atlanta to play The […]
Great Lake SwimmersLost ChannelsNettwerk By Alexandra Edwards Scattered amongst the St. Lawrence River, there exists an archipelago known as the 1000 Islands.

I'm beginning to like this whole Spring cleaning chore. Now let's move on towards the soul. Maybe someone should inquire what the rate at Cactus is for a bumper to bumper soul cleansing. I wrote this piece last summer at seemingly the height of annoyance of local promoters (selves included). The "Topless" party went away […]

The Hot RodsThe Hot Rods GlassMaster Records By Al Kaufman The Hot Rods is what they is. Basically, they're a bunch of Atlanta rednecks in black Harley shirts and tattoos who listened to the Ramones a lot. They like their women hot, their beer cold, and their cars fast. Unlike 2007's Super Sport, which gave equal […]
Maria Taylor LadyLuckNettwerk By Alexandra Edwards There's something about LadyLuck, Maria Taylor's third solo album, that makes you think she's trying to go more mainstream. 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 […]
Tom NorthropDestination Love by Al Kaufman Tom Northrop loves his wife and child. Of that, nobody can deny, at least not after listening to Destination Love. Paeans of love abound in this CD, including a song for his new son Justin, called, of all things, "My Baby Justin." In fact, Justin is the reason Northrop […]
Last summer we were all treated to a monthly party thrown by Judi Chicago and Noot D'Noot.

If you're wondering what to expect from the two band, check out our list of Judi Chicago's […]
Late of the PierFantasy Black ChannelAstralwerks By Leila Regan-Porter Late of the Pier are all over the place. And it seems they like it that way. From metal guitars to post punk keyboards to glam vocals to electro beats to severe dance tendancies to avant garde stylings, the band from Castle Donnington, England have a […]
The first of Spring is upon us. In the midst of Spring cleaning I found an old outtake from my brief and disastrous CL days that's still applicable. Enjoy… WEREWOLVES OF ATLANTA In route to the downtown Hilton, I’m listening to Dave FM, "I see a werewolf drinking a pina colada at a […]
