By Gini Strobel When most of us think about carnivals and circuses, cheesy clowns and lion tamers come to mind. While the major circus companies have taken on more of a Disney-like spin, there are a few groups trying to recreate the original sideshow style, dust bowl, carnival attractions. Circuses were created hundreds of years [...]
Where will you be this weekend? There is a ton going on in Atlanta and the weather is supposed to be beautiful! Friday, May 18 – Adron with Special Guest Daniel Clay at Eddie’s Attic This singer, songwriter is bringing a playful, youthful sound to the Atlanta music scene. Her voice is sweet and she [...]
Happy Lovely Sunny Thursday everyone! Take in all this warm weather while it lasts, because we’ll be going back to “normal” February temperatures (whatever that means) for the weekend. But for now, we’re getting out the flip-flops and shorts, and looking forward to a rocking weekend packed with shows and… oysters.
By Eileen Tilson Um highs today in the 70′s?!?!?! I can’t help but to think that mother nature is just playing a little trick on us all. “Oh yeah, whip out the shorts and flip flops, and then right when you start getting a little color back in your cheeks BAM! I’m gonna drop the [...]
By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn Thursdays are very interesting to me. They can either be awesome, knowing that the weekend is right around the corner, or they can be horrible, seeing everyone’s tenseness from the week coming to a head. Let’s hope yours is the first, and regardless, you will need to destress tonight and I [...]
Brrrrrr! Wrap up warm folks, this chilly weather isn’t messing around. It’ll get a bit milder over the weekend, but regardless, the wintery temperatures shouldn’t deter you from getting to some great gigs. Local music is especially being represented well this weekend, with record releases and more abound! And if you fancy the field-trip, get [...]

By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had an enjoyable and restful holiday weekend. Now, I know it’s Monday and the thought of going back to work simply seems tragic, but at least the countdown to Christmas has begun! If you feel like heading out in this dreary weather, here are a [...]
By Scott Roberts Difficult to categorize, but easy to like, singer-songwriter Dave Daniels celebrates his newest eight-song release with a show at L5P’s Five Spot this Saturday, August 27. From the soulful, Memphis horn–influenced opener “Got One” to the Buffett-like acoustic reverie of “Back to the Island” Daniels mixes a winning combination of classic genres [...]
Happy Almost-Weekend y’all! We hope you are all alright after those scary storms last night. Looks like the majority of us were unaffected, but we encourage you to donate or help how they can when it comes to our neighbors, whether they be in Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina or anywhere. Give what you can folks! [...]

Wow. What a weekend! Not only do we have the Atlanta Mess-Around at The EARL, but we also have some great free events too: Dogwood Festival, Foursquare Day, and the almighty Record Store Day! And then there is a major on sale going on for a couple of great reunited southern indie rock bands, so [...]
Brrrr. Our fair city has yet to break out of this massive cold snap, but that’s no reason to stay at home! We’ve got a good selection of rocking shows to keep you moving and warm (and the few beers you’ll probably be having won’t hurt either). And you can look forward to sunnier times [...]
My goodness, what a week. It’s been hot, stormy and maybe just a little miserable – and that’s just been our moods. Maybe it was just a full-length week after two short weeks, but we really need this weekend. There’s plenty to do, from Broadway shows to stand-up comedy, kick-ass local rock to a classic [...]

Picture Book & Live Review: Justin Furstenfeld @ Center Stage 5/14
Photos and review by Jenna Hughes The atmosphere at Center Stage was quiet and calm on Tuesday night as fans eagerly awaited the stripped down solo performance of Justin Furstenfeld (of Blue October). The standing room floor was transformed into a seating area and those seats filled up fast with dedicated fans. Strangers chatted and [...]
5GB Interview: Cosmonauts; Playing 529 Thursday, May 16
By Jhoni Jackson Orange County outfit Cosmonauts boasts a blend of chaos and comedowns in their forever-fuzzy rock ‘n’ roll repertoire. Last year’s If You Wanna Die Then I Wanna Die (Burger Records) hits both amped-up, anxious highs and droning, lost-in-lament lows with equal intensity. Nailing an energetic, raucous jam like “Motorcycle #1” is a feat in [...]
5GB Interview w/ Twin Sister; Playing TONIGHT (5/15) @ 529
Twin Sister trade in a brand of dreamy pop that’s equal parts Galaxie 500, Tusk-era Fleetwood Mac, and Lynchian weirdness. They claim it will make you feel good enough to hook up with that one person you’re not supposed to hook up with. UH-OH! We caught up with the band before they hit the road [...]

5GB Interview: Kelly McFarling Playing @ Eddie’s Attic 4/27!
Atlanta, GA raised Kelly McFarling and gave her space to find her powerful voice in its church choirs and baseball stadiums, but it was San Francisco that gave her the encouragement and community to solidify her original sound.
