Give what you can folks! [...]
For those who don’t know, The Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater (or “The Fred,” as it’s affectionately known) is like Peachtree City’s answer to Chastain, and every year they bring a great summer concert series to serve as a backdrop to candlelit dinners of wine and cheese. This year, the series is kicking off with legendary [...]
Hello Sunshine! And that’s aimed at the weather as well as our lovely readers. There’s so much great stuff this weekend, from local indie rock to rising soul stars to rap legends. And don’t forget to check out the on-sales at the bottom for future gig-planning.
Finally fall has arrived! Well, alright, only officially. It’s still baking hot. But this weekend should be more bearable, and what better way to celebrate the removal of the horrific heat than outdoor concerts, arts and food festivals, and a couple of indoor gigs too. And there are quite a few great on-sales coming up [...]

Well, summer’s last full month is officially over. And while we actually have a few more weeks left of the season, the feeling of cooler things to come is already in the air. The heat is just a little less oppressive. Kids are back in school. Fall fashions are hitting us over the head. And [...]
Looks like the temperatures are coming down just a tiny bit, which means this weekend will be much more bearable and you should be getting out to even more shows now that there’s less fear of melting into the pavement.

Now the band is taking the stage at Peachtree City’s Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater, and we have a pair of tickets to give away. Just fill out the form below [...]
We hope everyone is making it through this baking-hot week. Speaking of the temperature, this fall’s upcoming show schedule is really “heating up” (oh dear…), as evidenced by our list of fabulous on-sales at the bottom of this post. Sounds like it’s going to be a rock ‘n’ roll autumn.
It’s been a scorcher of a week, and now we’re in the final sprint for the weekend! There’s a great selection of gigs coming up in the next few days, from local rock to returning legends. And of course there is the matter of a certain little on sale for Guided By Voices on Saturday [...]
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 [...]

We know it’s OTP (Outside The Perimeter), but we think that The Fred (Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater) in Peachtree City is an ace venue with a pretty fab lineup coming up this summer. And we have some tickets to give away for some of the great shows coming up. Gloria Gaynor and Village People team [...]

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 [...]
