THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Soundgarden An Evening with Soundgarden Tuesday, May 7 and Wednesday, May 8 The Tabernacle - 152 Luckie Street NW in Atlanta 30303 SOLD OUT! Pessimistic Moe is here. He hangs around a lot, whispering shit in my ear. He's kind of a dick, but he tends to be right a lot of the time. Maybe the two things go hand in hand, I don't know. Right now he's trying to temper my expectations on Soundgarden tomorrow. And, Christ, I have [...]

THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Japandroids w/ Swearin' Saturday, December 1 Terminal West - 887 West Marietta Street in Atlanta 30318 Admission $15 / Purchase Tickets If there was a more triumphant, raucous and blissfully earnest record than Celebration Rock released this year, I have yet to hear it. The Vancouver twosome came out firing on all cylinders on their sophomore LP, cranking out fuzzy, fist-pumping jams that slash and burn like the duo's lives depend on it. It's a record that [...]

Red Sea | Tandem Stye Be Bop Kids threw out a Women comparison and I felt compelled to back it up. It’s when the structure breaks down into a guitar fist-fight of spiky, industrial noise. It’s the classic sound our beloved departed Women so smartly sported, and it’ll be missed but for the few glimpses we get in bands like Red Sea and Faux Fur . But there’s even more to this song than the odd Women comparison. It steers itself down [...]

The folks of electro group Austra sure do have a way of picking fantastic support acts to come along with them on their tours. First they went and recruited Kool Thing , and now they're back touring Europe with Montréal-based, minimal synth-waving retrofuturists, Chevalier Avant Garde . That's a lot of obscure genre-dropping in one long-ass run-on sentence. Formerly known as Postcards, Chevalier Avant Garde hosts a rotating line-up of collaborators with Dimitri (vocals) and Filip (guitar) remaining the permanent [...]

A few weeks ago, indieATL , a live music venture whose all around radness I don't think needs any explanation around here, announced that they would be hosting new sessions every first and third Thursday of the month. In order to kick off the new Fall Season, producer Matt Knowles and the crew at GSU's Digital Arts Entertainment Lab invited Red Sea to perform some of their dreamy, guitar-driven psyche jams for the fine folks at WRAS 88.5FM. Check them out performing "Cruel Future" from their excellent debut EP, Weird Problem , which you can still [...]
