THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Thrice w/ O'Brother, Moving Mountains, La Dispute Sunday, October 9 The Masquerade - 695 North Avenue in Atlanta 30306 Admission $17 / Purchase Tickets Depending on your point of view, Thrice can be one of the most inventive bands performing today or one of the most exasperating. At times, the result of their work has been brilliant ( The Artist and the Ambulance and Vheissu come to mind). At others, it's been staid and [...]

Lead Soup is a brand new Live Music and Club night coming to Mother Live in London's Old Street from September 10th. Promoted, booked, run and DJ'ed by me, Rob 'Spacehips' Morgan of the If There Is Hell Below blog and podcast. Each week we'll be playing host to some of the most intriguing, forward thinking, exciting, strange, underground and just all-round ace music acts we can find, starting with The Night Jars and Dead Rabbits on September 10th. Bands will blow open the Lead Soup doors [...]
Whereas some bands come across like they're trying to hide their influences from you in some weird way to come across original, Dead Rabbits seem like the kind of band that would gladly lend you their entire record collection just so that another person gets pleasure from the music that they love. That's not to say that the Southampton four-piece are copycats or unoriginal, just that they wear their influences (Brian Jonestown Massacre, Joy Division, The Beatles, Jesus & Mary Chain etc) proudly on their sleeves and sound like they absolutely love making music with a nod [...]
I Think I Know by Dead-Rabbits Man, I've been trying to write something journo-like for this band for what seems like an eternity (45 minutes). Dead Rabbits are a rock n roll band, you can make of that what you will, there's a song up there to help you and there's a non-precise ton of tracks they've just uploaded onto seemingly every digital medium ( youtube , soundcloud , facebook ). They've shared a bill with [...]
Another terrific month of Atlanta music in now in the books. April saw a steady stream of solid releases including two of my favorite local records so far this year in the form of Places' new joint, March , and Jupiter Watts' immaculate five-song stunner, Take Time . Both those albums are stellar and well worth checking out. There was also the usual array of relatively unannounced new records that caught me by surprise. The big one in this category was the new mixtape from local rapper, Translee . The 21 [...]
THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Jungol (Single and DVD Release Party) w/ Sun Domingo, The Influence Saturday, February 26 The Earl - 488 Flat Shoals Avenue in Atlanta 30316 Admission $8 / Purchase Tickets Jungol never seem to slow down. There's always another show to play, another single to cut, another DVD to produce, another remix to approve, another project to pursue. This relentless drive to create is a large part of what fans find so endearing about the band—their [...]

Monday: My Teenage Stride, Boy Genius, + The Rabbits @ Cameo Gallery 8pm $7 [ info ] We've been mentioning My Teenage Stride a lot on these pages lately! They recently wowed us at After the Jump Fest and have been playing a bunch of local shows in recent weeks. Tonight they've upped the ante though, booking a show with two former Pop Tarts' bands of the week! It's a pretty impressive lineup, especially for a Monday, so make sure you head out to North 6th for it! My Teenage [...]

Out of all the boroughs Staten Island probably has the least of the musical reputations in New York City. Despite producing the Wu-Tang, David Johansen, Christina Aguilera (she was born here, you can look it up), Ingrid Michaelson, and White Lion, we get no respect in the musical world. Well we're hoping to change all that thanks to our burgeoning indie rock scene and a festival that showcases
Wo zum Teufel liegt Kennewick und warum scheint diese Gegend so inspirierend? Diese Fragen stellen sich mir beim ersten Durchhören von Aaron Schroeders "Southern Heart In Western Skin". Obwohl ich ja diesen ganzen Neo-Folk Hype inzwischen ignoriere, schafft es Aaron, mich vom ersten Lied an für seine Musik einzunehmen. Und das ist mir viel zu selten passiert in den letzter Zeit. Steel-Gitarren, Harmonika, Violinen, Celli und Kontrabass bauen ein buntes Durcheinander aus Folkgeschichtchen, Country und so etwas wie Pop-Perlen auf, die man eher in den 60ern vermutet. Und eines sage ich Euch: Der Songtitel täuscht, [...]
