All photos by Clint Miller Saturday, I went to see Athens based, Cinemechanica at 529 in East Atlanta. I had never seen them live before, but had heard that cardiac arrest and brain aneurysms were key components to their live show. There was no way I was going to pass up an opportunity like that even if my life, or more realistically, my ears, were at stake. The first band to play, Lazer Wulf, was a three-piece, and my expectations were low. They looked like typical frat-guys who [...]

THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Tokyo Police Club w/ Two Door Cinema Club, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin Tuesday, January 25 Masquerade - 695 North Avenue NE in Atlanta 30306 Admission $17 / Purchase Tickets I don't know about you, but I played the shit out of that first Tokyo Police Club EP. All those angular guitars and off-kilter rhythms wrapped around sing-along hooks really resonated with me for some reason (the bucket loads of scrappy, youthful energy certainly didn't hurt [...]

It's been a very long time since I've heard anything from the rock awesomeness of Bats & Mice . They've added a new drummer on board and have a new album in the works. They also are gracing Richmond with their presence on Friday with a kick ass that will rock everyone's socks off. Plus, a great roundup of local talent will be playing throughout the night including Prabir/Goldrush , Cinemechanica and The Diamond Center . Go see this show. It'll be a good time. Bats & Mice [...]

Riding a wave of hysteria in the United States, Athens, GA's Cinemechanica is in the midst of their first tour of the United Kingdom. Cinemechanica found national acclaim for last year's The Martial Arts , which served notice that so-called "math rock" bands can make compelling, diverse albums that capture the spirit of their live shows. Cinemechanica delivers a mind-bending live experience, complete with twists, turns, and buckets and buckets of filthy riffs. Now, for the first time the United Kingdom will have an opportunity to sample the bands prodigious talents. [...]

So Many Dynamos There's nothing better than going to a show and being blown away by three bands you've never seen before. Sunday night's show at the Drunken Unicorn was pretty amazing. First up I caught most of So Many Dynamos ' set. This St. Louis, Missouri outfit kind of reminded me of a Q And Not U . They had so much energy and some really tasty melodies. I picked up a copy of their 2006 release, Flashlights [...]

Wednesday show of "has-beens" that would probably still be cool: Alice in Chains, Velvet Revolver, Sparta at The Tabernacle. Wednesday show that I will actually go to: Untied States , These Are Powers , Gold Painted Nails [...]

Nomo I have about two and a half more weeks of classes, and then I'm done for a while. It's kind of weird when the last day of school comes around, because every student--subconciously or willingly--waits for this day every day of every school year, and when it finally comes around, it's just...weird. Like when you were five years old and you couldn't wait till Christmas day--and when all your presents are unwrapped, you'll say, "well, 365 more days till next Christmas." (Except that I'm pretty sure people don't say, "Oh man! [...]
