Live Review and Picture Book: The Whiskey Gentry at Smith’s Olde Bar, July 12, Night 1 of a 3 Night Performance

Photos and Review by Codi Glancy Remember last year when The Whiskey Gentry put out “Please Make Welcome?” If not, let me refresh your memory, they put out the album, they played two sold out nights at Smith’s Olde Bar, and they kicked ass!

5GB With Jungol; Playing The Earl, July 13th

The ever-evolving and inventive musical creations of Atlanta’s Jungol have been purposefully kept from the usual touring environment so far this year.

Cd Review: Serg Tankian – Harakiri

  Review by Ellen Eldridge Generally speaking, I don’t choose to spend my time listening to others bitch about religious freedom or political injustice.

5GB with Bloodshot Bill; playing the EARL tonight, July 11

By Jhoni Jackson If Jerry Lee Lewis were on the up-and-up today, he’d have an intimidating rival in the Montreal-made one-man-show known as Bloodshot Bill. That’s because Bill’s boogie woogie bedrock is just as sturdy—but, unlike Lewis, Bill does it alone. It’s a one-man-show of grit and sweat and punk-bred fury to the beat of […]

Picture Book & Live Review: Zach Deputy @ Eddie’s Attic – July 6th, 2012

Photos and Review by Chandler Mays Zach Deputy’s solo-acoustic set at Eddie’s Attic was the perfect way to start my Friday evening. The show was intimate, reverent, and strangely hilarious. Instead of live entertainment at a venue, it seemed more like Zach was a close friend who whipped out his guitar for an impromptu performance […]

Picture Book & Live Review: Lazer/Wulf @ The Earl – July 7th

Photos and Review by Chandler Mays Anyone who tries to spread the word about Lazer/Wulf always runs into the same problem: Explaining their sound. People throw around genre catchwords such as metal, jazz fusion, thrash, sludge, mathcore, aggressive, progressive, symphonic, melodic, evil-funk, avant-metal… the list goes on. Personally, I prefer to use the phrase “groove […]
