Umphrey’s is very, very good at what they do and anyone who has the slightest interest of working in the music industry should take notes on their ‘listen-to-your-fans’ business model. They have been slowly teasing their upcoming live release “Live at the Tabernacle” , which was filmed at the venue in Atlanta during their four-night New Years Eve run. Every progressive-rock band needs a good single, and though they have been melting faces at sold-out shows for the last fifteen years, has only released one . “Loose Ends” has potential for being a great [...]

Canadian electro group, Austra, is currently out on tour supporting The xx during a mostly sold out run. While Austra may be the new kids on the stage, they're far from amateur and put on a great live performance. The band played most of the cuts off their debut album, Feel It Break , as well as some lesser known releases including material off of their Sparkle EP. Katie Stelmanis, the lead singer, is the core of the group and the anchor of their on-stage presence. The instrumentals were a little [...]

Photo by Brandon Funk Not to be confused with Atlas Shrugged , the surprisingly punctual Atlas Genius took the stage promptly at 7:00 p.m. with a presence similar to Cold War Kids . Early in the set, they began by kicking on an ephemeral delay to the tone of the guitar and synth which would shadow the rest of the show. These vapory effects were aids to three-part harmonies and catchy pop melodies that hopped around the venue. Their song “In a Day” created a groove-based dance meme that seemed to be [...]

South Australian cut, Atlas Genius is stirring in the backseat of the Silversun Pickups . Fresh into their American Tour, the band, comprised of brothers Keith, Steven and Michael Jeffery, has begun a rite of passage, spreading thick indie love across purple mountain majesties. The trio first made waves when the still unsigned group released their first single, "Trojans," with little promotion and zero expectations. Propelled by enthusiastic bloggers and spread by social media, the song quickly took in a life of its own, and soon the brothers were fielding emails from publishers, lawyers and label execs [...]

Willis Earl Beal By Russell Warfield May 16, 2012 “It's really fitting that we're in the Tabernacle tonight, because you're all now in the Holy Church of Willis Earl Beal ." It's an audacious opening line to an audacious opening in general – choosing to orate a favourite Bukowski poem (which he claims to read before every performance, for inspiration) before launching himself into a completely unaccompanied rendition of his street-blues stormer 'Wavering Lines.' Whilst his debut record Acousmatic Sourcery – recorded in hyper lo-fi conditions [...]

TONIGHT'S BEST BET: Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros w/ He's My Brother Monday, May 21 The Tabernacle - 152 Luckie Street in Atlanta 30303 Admission $28.50 / Purchase Tickets Even in their most laconic moments, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros have a tendency to play feel-good music. The band's eclectic sound—equally informed by '60s rock, folk, country and Southern gospel—walks the line between unabashed hippie joy and flailing rock and roll exuberance with sprightly choruses and arena-filling harmonies to [...]

Tabernacle , the side project of Sands guitarist Andrew Simmons , is an outlet we haven't heard much from since its 2009 debut, Word, Pioneer . A few days ago, however, the Bandcamp page came alive with a trio of new songs titled, appropriately, Three . Have a listen below and download it for free . Three by Tabernacle Between this project and Sands, it's acceptable to think selfishly and wish Simmons' outlets produced more material and [...]

The connection between STS9 and 2012 over the years (the Great Cycle Spectacles have already been announced for next year) is well documented and to ring in the big New Year, the jazzy electroquest band will be returning to their longtime staple venue for S92s first five-night run in the same building since a Boulder [...]
There was quite a buzz in the air at The Tabernacle on Sunday night, with a packed house of Raconteurs fans very excited that the band chose Atlanta for the last stop on their incredibly brief tour (Nashville, New Orleans, Orlando, Atlanta). The band says that as of now they have no plans to record [...]
The Raconteurs, with only a hand-full of shows of their calendar for 2011, played a sold-out crowed at The Tabernacle this past Sunday night. The supergroup featuring Jack White (The White Stripes), Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler (the latter two of The Greenhornes) brought their two albums of material to The Tabernacle with [...]

TONIGHT'S BEST BET: Explosions in the Sky w/ Wye Oak The Tabernacle - 152 Luckie Street in Atlanta 30303 Doors at 8pm / Admission $25 / Purchase Tickets I've never been a huge fan of Explosions in the the Sky's recorded output, so it may seem disingenuous for me to say that tonight's show at the Tabernacle is a must-see-hear event. After all, so many bands before and since EITS got their start have done their "thing" before, exploring the [...]

TONIGHT'S BEST BET: TV On the Radio w/ Broken Social Scene The Tabernacle - 152 Luckie Street in Atlanta 30303 Doors at 8pm / Admission $39 / Purchase Tickets Much less heralded than its predecessor, Nine Types of Light is nonetheless another ambitious and, at times, exhilarating effort from TV On the Radio , not too mention their most emphatically optimistic recording to date. It may not be as outlandishly exploratory as previous efforts, but the ineffable sense of drama remains, [...]
