Hey
${token1},
Welcome to the latest Atlanta Music Guide newsletter.
This
newsletter is sponsored by Todd
Alexander: LIFE = ENERGY:
 Atlanta
artist Todd Alexander is premiering his exhibit LIFE =
ENERGY at the Be
Original Art Gallery (800 Miami Circle, Suite 210) with
the opening reception Saturday August 6th, from 6pm - 10pm.
The exhibit will last until September 6th. Alexander's
artwork strives to depict the true energy of landscapes,
along with the high energy level of urban life. The artist
also incorporates his fascination with Cellular Biology by
including bits of anatomy and physiology in both series.
Alexander looks at both the cities and landscapes like the
inner workings of the human body, with movement and exchange
at a cellular and superficial level. Everything is energy in
motion.

 The
Devil's back with a vengance..and it's bigger and better. The
Devil Stole The Beat

promising acts in the afternoon, such as The Hiss, Snowden,

 With
the Atlantis Music Conference + Festival next week,
we decided to highlight some bands and showcases we think
are worth checking out rather than having a featured band
this month. Click
here to check out our showcase picks. We'll be out and
about at the Atlantis shows and parties, so check back for a
recap and photos of the aftermath! We just did a recap for
our friends at Ticket Alternative, so if you want to read up
on some other showcases at 10 High, Velvet
Underground, The Loft, + Vinyl, then check
out their
newsletter. Make sure you check out www.amgmobile.com
when you're out and about for showcases, venue directions +
phone numbers, etc.
Photos
from last week's Downtown Rocks with Ben Folds,
Kasabian, Red Letter Agent, + Linger are now up on our
website. Again, The Loft and Vinyl played host
to an unofficial after party where Kasabian proceeded to get
as drunk as possible until 3:15am and catching their 5:30am
flight in the most rock 'n roll fashion. Lead singer Tom
Meighan recalled the first night of their US tour which
kicked off at The Loft back in May, remarking that The Loft
"was one of the best gigs of the tour and a great place
to play."
Open Mic Madness has moved from its normal August
slot to October 3-8 at Smith's Olde Bar! Past winners
include Avenge Vegas, The Whigs, and Bain
Mattox. Music madman (and Atlanta Music Guide Music
Awards host) Josh Rifkind runs the annual single elimination
tournament, which features over 120 bands/musicians
performing their original music. Prizes include two full
days at Nickel & Dime Recording Studios with
platinum producer Don McCollister, a performance slot on The
Rock Boat, and more. To register and find out more
