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.

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, […]

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.

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.

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, […]
