We're going to be closed Friday, July 3 and Saturday, July 4 in honor of (what else?) the July 4th holiday weekend. Like everyone else we'll be eating burgers and watching fireworks. We'll be back bright and early on Monday. Have fun everybody and stay safe!

As many music fans and local folks know, historic music venue the Georgia Theatre in Athens was all but completely destroyed by a fire last week. Though there has already been a lovely benefit show up in Athens with Dead Confederate and The Whigs, here in Atlanta we'd like to give a hand too. So […]

The event is open to all but you must RSVP first by emailing [email protected]. The event will feature new recordings from the band's upcoming record, […]
By Eileen Tilson Atlanta’s “supergroup” The Constellations are giving Atlanta another three minute distraction from their mundane workday. I had the privilege of getting a sneak peek of the filming of their latest video “Perfect Day,” and the setting could not be more perfect. A rainy night at a well worn in house in Midtown, […]
Our sister site TA Live just started a weekly feature called Leila's Three Picks of the Week, where I, editor Leila, pick three bands each week to introduce you to. No kidding. Go and check it out here.
I'm a big fan of North Carolina's L.A. Tool and Die, a brilliantly quirky indie rock band that can rock the hilarity as well as the tender. Falling on the hilarity side is their new video for "Don't Touch My Mustache," which features a host of singing and dancing unicorn hand-puppets as well as a […]

The band, performing before Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, outside Atlanta's Center Stage, March 20. By Julia Reidy Young Orchids is the latest musical brainchild of Kyle Gordon, previously of Atlanta rockers The Booze, KillGordon and Ski Club. Though the group is new, these pros aren’t as delicate as the name suggests. Along with Ski […]
About a year ago, local music fans in Atlanta were a-buzz with word about this new band, Missy Gossip and the Secret Keepers. Their mix of down-home country style mixed with the hipness of indie rock made them a huge draw for gigs at The EARL and Star Bar. But all has been quiet with […]
A quick bit of disclosure regarding my (Leila, editor of Atlanta Music Guide) connection with Paste – I was an intern and writer there and am now married to Tim, the president of the company. So obviously this cause is going to be super-close to me. But even if it wasn't, in my humble opinion, […]
