Photos from the final 99X Downtown Rocks concert this Summer are now up in the Features section. Helios kicked off the night, and the rain stopped just in time for AMC+F buzz bands The Gates of Berlin, Avenge Vegas, and Dropsonic. Congratulations to Avenge Vegas frontwoman Lauren and her fiance' Cregg of Linger on their engagement! Legendary producer/Garbage member Butch Vig caught sets and mingled with the aforementioned bands before Garbage closed out the series with rock goddess Shirley Manson storming the stage.

The HissThe Hiss closed out the final day of the Devil Stole The Beat daytime showcases with a brilliant set of new and old songs. The addition of a hammond player has elevated the band's older songs, amplified the new ones and rejuvenated the band overall. It's time to go back out and see The Hiss again - this is not the self-consumed band of old, but, hopefully, a new hungrier version that still has the magic and is once again prepared to play. Earlier in the day Variac proved why they're the current buzz band of Atlanta with a noteworthy set for several industry figures in attendance. David Roland, who came in from New York especially to play, were followed by local darlings Second Shift. On behalf of TDSTB, we'd like to thank all the bands that played for free this week for our inaugural daytime parties. Special thanks must also go to Rodney, Connie and the amazing (though now somewhat deaf) staff of Fuego, for hosting the 4 day event!

Both bands have played sold out shows at the Coca Cola Roxy, so this show is sure to be packed as well. Sub Pop Records' The Helio Sequence opens the night.

Atlanta favorite Butch Walker has been touring this Summer with pop/punk princess Avril Lavigne and Gavin DeGraw, musician of choice for all teen-related television shows. However, Walker will also be playing an intimate show for his hometown at The Loft under the moniker of Lead Singer Disease, following his set at HiFi Buys Amphitheatre on Friday.
