A huge thank you to all of our friends
and readers who came out to the first Atlanta Music Guide 'Get
Out And About' social at Vinyl - it was a big success, and
we all had a great time. Thanks to all of the artists that came out
and represented such as
Linger,
Y-O-U,
Trances Arc,
Slowearth,
Avenge
Vegas,
Second
Shift, Collective Efforts
,
Psychic Hearts, and
The Warm
Gunns, to name a few! Look out for our next social in
mid-August, after the Atlantis Music Conference. Rumor has it we'll
be hitting up East Atlanta.
The EARL will
be hosting a series of shows this weekend to celebrate the venue's
5th anniversary. Each show is only $5.00, and artists performing
include Kevin Kinney's STAR, Lucero, The Rosebuds,
A Fir-Ju Well, and more.

 According
to Billboard.Com, The Strokes have begun pre-production on
their follow up to their 2003 record, Room On Fire with
producer Gordon Raphael. The band has built a recording studio in
their rehearsal space, and the new record has an early projected
release date of Spring 2005. The next single off of Room On Fire
will be "The End Has No End," which is slated for release worldwide
on July 26 with a video to accompany the single.

Check out our latest
additions to the Features - a live show review of the
Bishop Don / The Californias show last week at Vinyl, and
our featured band for July -
Trances Arc. We were impressed by their live show and EP,
but you can see for yourself - Trances Arc will be playing
the Atlantis Music Conference July 22nd at Smith's Olde Bar.

show recently that you absolutely loved, or heard a CD that was so
great, it made your heart stop beating? Well, now you can tell the

Features - Reader Reviews. If you're interested in writing a CD
review, concert review, or submitting live photos (local or touring
acts) to the website, contact us at

Local
Atlanta favorites The Swear (formerly known as Alastor)

this year and will be rockin' the Vans Warped Tour later this
month. Radiohead and Muse lovers will enjoy openers Linger,
who have recently released their CD entitled Black Selefane.
Sixteen year old Amber Brooke opens the show. Tickets
