By Jhoni Jackson Jennifer and Jessica Clavin, sisters and former members of all-girl post-punk outfit Mika Miko, are poised to garner even greater success than the much-beloved (but now defunct) band achieved.

By Ellen Eldridge Joe Bernardi wraps up his thoughts on Colleen Green by saying she “has been known to perform a cover of The Descendents’ ‘Good Good Things’ so slow and intense that it’s almost uncomfortable. Being so aloof and laid-back that it exposes the personal, honest sweetness in a song like that is Colleen’s [...]

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.

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 [...]

5GB Interview: Hot Club of Cowtown – Playing Eddie’s Attic June 7
By Ellen Eldridge The impression that the Austin, Texas, band Hot Club of Cowtown is in some way a country act, especially in the current climate of American popular music, is somewhat misleading since the Hot Club’s influences have always been as much the musette music of the smoky bistros of 1930s Paris as they [...]
