There are a lot of great things happening in Atlanta this weekend, so I like to consider Wednesday the countdown to an amazing upcoming couple of days of fun! -”Australian duo Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard, aka Dead [...]
So, I have to share this with you guys….I was coming to my best friend’s baby shower this Saturday, just to have her call me early this morning and tell me she was in labor! Note to self, always get baby supplies MONTHS in advance! Needless to say, I would like to give a very [...]
Last night, we heard the news that one of our favorite BBQ joints, Fox Bros Bar-B-Q, was hit by a large tree during a pop-up heavy thunderstorm. We’re glad that everyone is safe and we wish the restaurant a speedy recovery! On that note, more rain and thunderstorms are predicted for this weekend, and while [...]
Photos Courtesy of Hillery Terenzi, Review by Codi Glancy Unlike most “kids” my age, I was never a huge fan of Sleigh Bells. Their music is great and I enjoy the songs, it’s just not my exact cup of tea. With that being said, I hadn’t seen them live until this past Monday. Sold out [...]
Nashville just knows how to pump out those songwriters, and Dave Barnes is no exception. Barnes has had success with #1 song “God Gave Me You,” Grammy nominated this year for the Best Country Song as performed by Blake Shelton on 2011’s Red River Blue album. Barnes’ and Shelton’s versions of the song have sold over [...]
By Ellen Eldridge I took a deep breath and a heaping dose of “get over it” advice when conquering the overwhelming feeling of trying to come up with insightful questions for a band that has influenced and acted as the undercurrent for so much mainstream music over the last three decades. The Melvins’ own Buzz [...]

You all know what day it is on Saturday. We don’t have to tell you. You’re getting your green eyeliner, green shoes, green hat, green cupcakes, green beer, green wig… you know what we’re getting at. Even if you’ve never danced a gig or taken a swig of Guinness, there’s a good chance you are [...]

Picture Book & Live Review: Matthew Mayfield @ Eddie’s Attic June 14th
By Lindsey Borders Ever since Matthew Mayfield began his journey over 11 years ago, his performances get better with each live show he performs, acoustically or with a full band. I prefer him acoustic because he’s genuine, raw, and vulnerable with his audience; especially if there’s a great turn-out. Which there was with Matthew’s CD [...]
Picture Book & Review: Billy Idol @ The Tabernacle June 11th!
Billy Idol still has it…sneer and all. 80’s MTV icon Billy Idol played to a packed Tabernacle audience on Tuesday, June 11th. The crowd consisted of former rockers and suburban housewives with their teenage kids, proving to them that mom was once “cool”. If you came to hear the “Billy Idol Experience”, you got it [...]
Picture Book & Review: Sting @ Chastain Park Amphitheater June 10th!
Photos & Review by Hillery Terenzi I admit that I was a little concerned Monday morning when dark clouds were covering the Atlanta sky, but the music gods must’ve known Sting would be playing Chastain Amphitheater that night. The nearly sold out crowd was a mixture of young and old, tattooed and preppy and I [...]

Interview: Charlie Mars; Playing @ Eddie’s Attic June 20th!
Charlie Mars’ recently released album, Like A Bird, Like A Plane is his fifth studio record, but can be best described as a new debut. Over 11 songs, Mars hits a groove that does not signify any specific genre but instead is hardwired to hearts and hips. This is an album that writhes through the [...]

Interview: RAC & Penguin Prison; Playing @ The Basement June 15th!
RAC stand for Remix Artist Collective. They’ve built a fanbase on a whole lot of remixes (200+) for all kinds of artists. A few years ago Karl and Andre started DJ’ing all across the globe. Recently, Andre wrote a song with Penguin Prison and put it out through Green Label Sound. That song is the [...]
5GB Interview: Jacuzzi Boys; Playing the EARL Saturday, June 8th!
By Jhoni Jackson As far as bands on Instagram go, Jacuzzi Boys (@jacuzziboys) are among the best. Well, maybe enviable is more accurate. Their feed is full of goofiness, rockin’ and rollin’ and, you know, the occasional hang sesh with Iggy Pop. Onstage, however, they’re not so silly. The trio rips through their psych-laced garage [...]
5GB Interview: Stephen Kellogg; Playing @ Eddie’s Attic June 6th!
Although his music has been described as Americana, Country-Rock, Folk, Singer/Songwriter, and, somehow, pop, Stephen Kellogg has always thought of it as American-rock n’ roll. It’s a product of his father’s record collection, from Jim Croce and Cat Stevens to Eagles and The Band. Somewhere along the way, he fell in love with showmanship and [...]
