AthleteWe told you earlier that the sold-out Snow Patrol/Athlete show has been moved to the Tabernacle and that tickets are back on sale. Now we're going to tell you why you should be sure to catch the opening band. Athlete built a solid following back in England after the release of their debut Vehicles and Animals. The band are now touring in support of their latest offering, Tourist. This record proves they're no one-hit wonder, and amazing songs like 'Wires' and 'Chances' put the band up among the best of the best. Fans of Coldplay and the Doves won't want to miss them! We'll be interviewing the band that night, so check back for that later. But for now, you can see Part 1 of our Athlete interview in the Features section.

Featured Shows
Tuesday May 10, 2005 - Kasabian, Rock 'n Roll Soldiers (*please note that Mad Action have cancelled) - The Loft - All Ages
Kasabian (listen), critic darlings from the UK, are embarking on their first headlining US tour and will be bringing their electronic/Brit rock hybrid to The Loft. Although the band is just beginning their career stateside, this will be the only time to catch them in an intimate venue because right after the band's Summer tour, they'll be hitting amphitheatres across the country with their pals Oasis and Jet. Not too shabby. Oregon's Rock 'n Roll Soldiers open the show.

Saturday May 14, 2005 - Weezer, Ringside - Tabernacle - All Ages
The kings of nerd, Weezer (listen), return to Atlanta fresh off the release of their brand new album Make Believe for a sold out show that is sure to please the throngs of black rimmed glasses-wearing, sweater-sporting, Rivers Cuomo-worshipping fans this Saturday night. Opening up the show will be musician Scott Thomas' project Ringside (listen)
