They recently did David Letterman and he gave them this introduction: " I won't lie to you, I'm frightened." Here is the video: They have been doing a ridiculous amount of interviews and such, so here is a three part interview with drummer Brann Dailor: Part 1: Part 2 here Part 3 here [...]

Atlanta rock doc We Fun airs for one week on Pitchfork.TV starting this Friday

Last week I attended a screening of the Atlanta music scene documentary, We Fun , as part of the Atlanta Film Festival. Every good documentary I have ever seen either meticulously informs or tells a compelling story, and unfortunately We Fun does neither. The movie is a barrage of total randomness that ambles along playing show and tell for various ATL institutions.

New trailer for Atlanta rock documentary We Fun released.

Atlanta's music scene is a very splintered, cliquish, fragmented scene. We have a major metropolitan area with a vibrant, diverse collection of artists, so this comes as no surprise to me. I mean, go ask a Brooklyn band if they have heard of *insert other random Brooklyn band* and most likely they will say no. As much as some people want Atlanta to have some monolithic sound imagining we can do some Seattle-style blowup, we don't, and that sort of thing isn't going to happen in the current Internet era of music. In that context, making a [...]

Brass Castle @ Lenny's (2/22/08) By now most of you local readers have probably heard about the upcoming Atlanta music scene documentary We Fun featuring superstars like Black Lips and Deerhunter .
