Featured Shows
Idlewild - Smith's Olde Bar - Wednesday September 14th
Scottish rockers Idlewild are touring the US in support of their new CD Warnings and Promises. Thanks in part to catchy, harder pop songs and Roddy Womble's unique vocals, the band has built a loyal following over here. They'll be rocking Smith's Olde Bar on Wednesday with Inara George opening up, who also sings live with the band.

The Baxter MovieThe Baxter - Tara Cinema 4 - Thursday September 15th
IFC Films, Creative Loafing, Atlanta Music Guide, and 99X present the special advance screening of The Baxter - a romantic comedy for anyone who's ever been dumped. The Baxter is "reminiscent of classic American romantic comedies from the 1940s where the nice guys finish first for once." The screening will take place at United Artists' Tara 4 Cinema on Cheshire Bridge Road (404.634.6288) this Thursday September 15th at 7:30pm. The movie stars Michael Showalter, Paul Rudd, Michael Ian Black, Michelle Williams (of Dawson's Creek fame), and more. If you want to attend the screening, just email us at info@atlantamusicguide.com, and we'll hook you up with a pass that's good for 2 people. The first 5 people will also receive a copy of The Baxter Soundtrack. Please arrive early as the number of tickets distributed exceeds seating capacity. www.thebaxtermovie.com
