Pictures and Review by Taylor Wallace! You could tell instantly upon entrance to the Tabernacle off Luckie St. that this would be no ordinary Grace Potter show. Every seat in both balconies was occupied and the floor was packed full of fans of all ages. Grace tends to bring together a very joyful and […]
Photos and Review by Chandler Mays Bell X1 is an alternative rock band out of Dublin, Ireland. Lyrically, they write songs that run the gambit from romantic to tragic, clever, and downright cheeky. Their accents add an Irish charm that you can’t ignore, especially when they say ‘arse’ instead of our more common alternative. Sonically, […]
Photos and Review by Chandler Mays If you end up as a touring guitarist with Phil Lesch and Friends, it’s safe to say that you’re a talented musician. Jackie Greene is known for being the youngest lead guitarist to infiltrate the Dead circle, but more importantly, through hard work and undeniable talent, he has established […]
Just from being in the local Atlanta music scene, I have heard about Nashville’s The Kingston Springs. I have heard about their heavy blues, folk, rocky top surf rock sound, their comparison to a young Black Keys, and the fact that they were asked to play such heavy-hitters such as Lollapalooza…..and then I saw and […]
I’m just going to get to the good stuff today, cause there is a lot: –JACK WHITE IS AT THE FOX THEATER TONIGHT. The King of Quirky (and perhaps one of the best guitar players of our time) is in our town tonight. -With only a 7-inch to sell, they toured with Cults, Those Darlins, […]

Oct. 9th is a special day all around for me…John Lennon & my best friend’s birthday, so I tend to think anything that happens on Oct. 9th must be pretty special. Tomorrow night at the Tabernacle, Atlas Genius, the South Australian indie rock band who recently released their debut EP, titled Through the Glass, are very quickly making […]
Photos by: CatMax Photography, LLC, Review by Catrina Maxwell I have to be honest when I was first asked to cover Nicki Bluhm I said yes, but had no idea who Nicki Bluhm was. There seemed to be some buzz about some YouTube videos called the “Van Sessions”. With two shows packed in one night […]
Happy Monday to you Atlanta, how are you this morning? Did you have a good weekend? Are you looking for something fun to do tonight? One of my favorite bands are playing, so try and make it out. -Northwesterners, The Shins, have been around for years without making it mega-commercial, and their devout following loves […]
By Jhoni Jackson Confession: I discovered the wonderful world of R. Stevie Moore only a few years ago. Weirdo-pop virtuoso Ariel Pink was responsible—he cited him in some story I read. In my exploration of Moore’s enormous catalog, I never considered he’d play Atlanta. I didn’t think his work, which includes avant garde experimentalism to […]
By Jhoni Jackson Garage-stomp is the choice term for the Blind Shake. The Minneapolis band employs it in press releases and on their website. There’s no use in arguing—they’re right. There’s no better way to describe them. But what’s that mean, anyway? It means the Minneapolis trio will incite thud after thud on the EARL’s […]
By Jhoni Jackson Brisbane, Australia’s Slug Guts are a little frightening. The band’s third and latest LP, Playin’ in Time with the Deadbeat on Sacred Bones Records, is dark in spirit, a post-punk jaunt in the glorification of the grotesque. Freakish sax accents drums that echo as if recorded in a dungeon, and singer James Dalgleish—or […]
By Scott Roberts What started out as an outlet to ignite his slightly dwindling musical spark, Matt Brown, singer/songwriter with Atlanta-based nineties pop faves Uncle Green, decided to create a group on Facebook called Theme Music. The idea was to invite like-minded musicians to join and post videos of themselves performing songs based on a […]
