By: Shelby Lum March is just around the corner, meaning spring is on the way! Boots and scarves have been fun, but I for one am ready for the sun to shine, and bluer skies. We can embrace the last weekend in February with some great music and an awesome festival! Here are Atlanta Music [...]
By: Shelby Lum It’s not everyday a venue celebrates a full decade in the business, and Vinyl is celebrating in style with some of the city’s best acts. The Quaildogs are among some of the bands playing for the venue’s big bash. The band has played at Vinyl twice, said Lee Berg, vocalist and bassist. [...]
By: Shelby Lum From Boston to Austin, Texas Aaron Sinclair of Frank Smith has moved around the nation, and is returning to The Drunken Unicorn to play his second Atlanta show. But Frank Smith isn’t a person, it’s a band. The name came after a previous name change, because another band had the name. ”I [...]
Shelby Lum It’s Valentine’s weekend guys! Instead of sitting at the usual dinner for two at an overly expensive restaurant why not enjoy a little of the Atlanta music scene. Whether or not you have a man (or woman) to bring along, you can surely find friends to make the weekend something more than just [...]
By: Shelby Lum The Aussie indie rockers, Atlas Genius, aren’t really your standard quartet considering three quarters of the band are brothers. Keith Jeffrey, Michael Jeffrey, Steven Jeffrey, and friend Darren Sell make up the group, but little sibling rivalry seems to exist between the brothers. They actually see it as an advantage to be touring with [...]

By: Shelby Lum Well now that we have survived that deluge of rain, it’s gotten colder again just in time for the new month. And now it’s February. The weather is colder and the stores are filling with red and pink heart shaped gifts, and spring is on everyone’s minds. No worries though! AMG has [...]

By: Shelby Lum Between 1993 and today, a good deal of things have happened. Back in ‘93 Russia finally left Poland. The PLO leader and Israeli prime minister shook hands. The Dallas Cowboys won the Super Bowl. And Collective Soul was just a child in the music world. It has been over two decades since [...]
By: Shelby Lum I don’t know about you, but I still am not used to the new year. I’ve written December 2012 on one too many occasions, but hey it’s time to embrace 2013. There are some solid shows coming to town and new albums being released, so lets get out of the house and [...]
By: Shelby Lum Well we all survived the Mayans’ 2012 prediction, and come Monday will all be rolling into 2013 for another year to come. Artists are flooding Atlanta and all of our venues to kick off a brand new year, but the festivities aren’t just on Monday! Shows are all weekend long, so extend [...]

More Tennessee natives, Tesla Rossa, has claimed one of the opening spots for the last week of Winter Wonder Jam at Atlantic Station this weekend. Yes, these guys are indie rock, but they also through some garage into the mix as well. The guys took some time to talk to us here at AMG. Below [...]
Electronic, indie rockers, MUTEMATH, have scored the headlining spot at the last week of Winter Wonder Jam at Atlantic Station this weekend. They have played Bonnaroo, been nominated for a Grammy, and helped on the Transformers theme song. Their latest album, Odd Soul, has broken new ground for the band as they have collaborated more [...]
Picture Book & Review: The Neighbourhood with The 1975 @ Center Stage June 17th
By Katie Caccavale I must say that as someone who works for an event ticketing company, it was really cool to see the ticket sales for The 1975 and The Neighbourhood show skyrocket. What was originally thought to be a smaller show taking place at Vinyl, quickly grew to a sold out show at the [...]

Picture Book & Live Review: Matthew Mayfield @ Eddie’s Attic June 14th
By Lindsey Borders Ever since Matthew Mayfield began his journey over 11 years ago, his performances get better with each live show he performs, acoustically or with a full band. I prefer him acoustic because he’s genuine, raw, and vulnerable with his audience; especially if there’s a great turn-out. Which there was with Matthew’s CD [...]
Picture Book & Review: Billy Idol @ The Tabernacle June 11th!
Billy Idol still has it…sneer and all. 80’s MTV icon Billy Idol played to a packed Tabernacle audience on Tuesday, June 11th. The crowd consisted of former rockers and suburban housewives with their teenage kids, proving to them that mom was once “cool”. If you came to hear the “Billy Idol Experience”, you got it [...]
Picture Book & Review: Sting @ Chastain Park Amphitheater June 10th!
Photos & Review by Hillery Terenzi I admit that I was a little concerned Monday morning when dark clouds were covering the Atlanta sky, but the music gods must’ve known Sting would be playing Chastain Amphitheater that night. The nearly sold out crowd was a mixture of young and old, tattooed and preppy and I [...]
Interview: Kylesa; Playing @ The EARL June 21st!
One thing you need to know is that like many great bands that have stuck around for a decade or more, Kylesa defies convention, categorization and they are constantly evolving. This individualism, among other places, can also be found as an ongoing theme in the lyrics of Kylesa’s two core, founding members, Phillip Cope and [...]
Interview: Charlie Mars; Playing @ Eddie’s Attic June 20th!
Charlie Mars’ recently released album, Like A Bird, Like A Plane is his fifth studio record, but can be best described as a new debut. Over 11 songs, Mars hits a groove that does not signify any specific genre but instead is hardwired to hearts and hips. This is an album that writhes through the [...]
5GB Interview: Marc Broussard playing at People’s Fest 2013 in Atlantic Station, 6/22
Marc Broussard is an artist with a unique gift of channeling the spirits of classic R&B, rock and soul into contemporary terms. Throughout his life, Broussard has been tapped as a talent to watch. Marc’s song “Home” was successful at radio and catapulted him onto the national touring stage. His music has been placed in [...]
Interview: RAC & Penguin Prison; Playing @ The Basement June 15th!
RAC stand for Remix Artist Collective. They’ve built a fanbase on a whole lot of remixes (200+) for all kinds of artists. A few years ago Karl and Andre started DJ’ing all across the globe. Recently, Andre wrote a song with Penguin Prison and put it out through Green Label Sound. That song is the [...]
5GB Interview: Jacuzzi Boys; Playing the EARL Saturday, June 8th!
By Jhoni Jackson As far as bands on Instagram go, Jacuzzi Boys (@jacuzziboys) are among the best. Well, maybe enviable is more accurate. Their feed is full of goofiness, rockin’ and rollin’ and, you know, the occasional hang sesh with Iggy Pop. Onstage, however, they’re not so silly. The trio rips through their psych-laced garage [...]
5GB Interview: Stephen Kellogg; Playing @ Eddie’s Attic June 6th!
Although his music has been described as Americana, Country-Rock, Folk, Singer/Songwriter, and, somehow, pop, Stephen Kellogg has always thought of it as American-rock n’ roll. It’s a product of his father’s record collection, from Jim Croce and Cat Stevens to Eagles and The Band. Somewhere along the way, he fell in love with showmanship and [...]
