Regardless, here are your events for this fine Wednesday, hope you get into some kind of trouble. -The older rockers will be at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater for the Eagles. -Yes, this might [...]
Well Good Morning Atlanta! It’s that time of the year where the girls dress in just barely what they can get away with, and boys in skinny jean shorts are in abundance…..but oh yes, the music is aplenty! There is some pretty great [...]

By Eileen Tilson Twenty-two year old Trevor Powers, whose musical venture is called Youth Lagoon, has had a long year. Not because he’s been endlessly touring or pursuing some wild dream, but because of life – the life of a kid going to college, being in love, dealing with heartache, and just living. Pretty impressive coming from [...]

Here are your midday fun picks! -Shinobi Ninja is a Brooklyn-based party rock circus with an explosive live show. The band’s music mashes up the [...]
The countdown to SXSW has officially begun! Thousands of musicians will be descending upon Austin to drink, sing, and generally cause chaos upon the pretty Texas city.

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 Happy Wednesday Atlanta! I like Wednesdays, they make me feel like the week is almost over, but also it usually means the start to a great lineup of good tunes coming to town.

Picture Book & Live Review: Justin Furstenfeld @ Center Stage 5/14

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.
