Miniature TigersTell It to the VolcanoEpic By Alexandra Edwards In recent years, a particular subgenre of indie cinema has developed: cute and quirky films centered around offbeat, slightly strange boys who defy all previous tenants of masculinity. Think Zach Braff's character in Garden State, pretty much any role Michael Cera has ever played on the […]
By Stephanie Roman Player/Kommander describe themselves as "a splash of New York glam with motor oil under their nails." Equally at home playing L.A.'s Viper Room or a juke joint on the Mississippi delta, PK brought their unique style of glitterbilly rock home to Atlanta on Friday night. The band did not let the venue's small crowd prevent them from launching into an […]
You have probably already heard the live version of Black Lips' "The Drop I Hold," featuring GZA of Wu-Tang Clan fame (you haven't??? Well, download it here), recorded at SXSW, and now there's a video (above) to go along with the original version of the song (sans GZA I'm afraid). The GZA-accompanied version will also […]

The DexateensSinglewideSkybucket Records By Alexandra Edwards Alt-country has never really enjoyed a revival of popularity since its blip on the college radio map in the mid-'90s. Sure, individual bands or albums may enjoy some time in the spotlight, but there's no sense of exploration across the genre. It's a shame, too, since The Dexateens are […]
Corndogorama is fast approaching – it's already May and before you know it, it'll be June 27 and we'll all be heading over to East Atlanta Village to stuff our faces with corndogs and watch some awesome local bands. Oh and not to mention the crowning of the Corndog Queen, an Artist Market Village, tricycle […]
The Beggars’ Guild …It Only Gets Better From Here Favorite Gentlemen By Samantha Parvin Atlanta continues to build its name in the universal music scene, and we are able to promote high standards of music because of bands like the Beggars’ Guild. Do not let the modest print and graphics of their first full-length album […]

Depeche Mode Sounds of the Universe Mute/EMI By Stephanie Roman Considering the proliferation of '80s cover bands and modern artists clearly influenced by the synth-pop, new wave and dance music of that decade, '80s nostalgia continues to draw our attention. This summer, we find a diverse cross-section of '80s bands from Jane's Addiction to Specimen reuniting for note-worthy performances. What makes Depeche Mode any different from their contemporaries? Do […]
By Julia Reidy Four times a season, several seemingly disparate creative ideas come together harmoniously in one venue: classical chamber music, electronica DJ-ing, visual art, short film, performance art and essay. It’s an idea new to Atlanta, and it’s one of the most interesting evenings $15 can buy. Co-founded and run by Fia and Dana […]
By Scott Roberts Perhaps the most effective way to deal with an unfortunate situation is to figure out a way to turn the adversity into a party! That’s exactly what Criminal Records’ Kerri Boles has done with the upcoming Celebracion benefit to be held at The EARL on May 5. “This benefit is for Megan […]
Due to the closing of Sugarhill, the Anthony David show for May 16 has been canceled. Tickets bought at an outlet will be refunded at point of purchase, and tickets bought online or on the phone are already being automatically refunded.
PistoleroWarface3 Bullets By Al Kaufman Pistolero is a bunch of music geeks who are so into it that they make their own amps. They know they're great musicians. They could have made one of those carefully crafted, perfectly produced technically mesmerizing CDs that showcased their talents. Instead, they sound like they were headed in that […]
