By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn The best part about the holidays is the lights. There is something magical about folks decorating their houses and having holiday parties, that you just can’t help to be in a better mood. Here is your Monday update of cool mood-altering musical events in the ATL. -The French dance-pop group Yelle [...]
By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn Hello city of Atlanta! So let’s be honest, how many of you already have your Christmas decorations up? I can’t help but to laugh at the amount of folks that cannot even wait till December before putting up their holiday lights! But it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas, [...]
By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn Happy Day Before Thanksgiving!!!!! Hopefully many of you are with family right now or working a half day and getting ready to stuff your face! But considering today is a traditional day for going out and waving your own tail feathers here are some fun events to get you ready for [...]
By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn Oh my goodness what an incredibly fun night! As amazing as Nashville is during the CMA’s, I have to admit that I am pretty jealous that y’all get to see my current favorite band tonight! So without further ado, here is my list of fun-ness for you tonight. -If I was [...]
This weekend is going to be sunny, gorgeous and packed with amazing food, drink and rock ‘n’ roll. We have so many awesome choices for you that you’ll be falling into your bed on Sunday night giving good ol’ ATL a huge mental hug.
BOO! Hope we didn’t scare ya – just getting into the spirit of things for the epic Halloween celebrations this weekend. Not only are there a ton of gigs, where you are bound to see your favorite rockers and rappers in their most hilarious costumes, but there are also some madcap parties. Scoutmob’s sold-out extravaganza [...]
By Eileen Tilson / @tktalt_tn Wow this week feels like it it just flying by, and finally kids, I think we are hitting fall! I hope everyone is having a great week getting ready for an even better weekend. We have said it before, Thursday is the new black (and in this case AND orange!) [...]
By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn Happy Wednesday Everyone! Have you bought your Halloween costume yet? I can’t seem to decide whether I want to be the new neighbor with the sweet, funny, costume or whether I want to scare the crap out of them! If you are not out shopping for your little trick or treaters, [...]
By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn If you haven’t heard of Liverpudlians’ The Wombats, it just means that you live under a rock, albeit maybe a very small rock. The band is HUGE in the U.K. and of course, its kid sister, Australia. But, don’t think that means the band is just a cookie cutter U.K. pop [...]
Oh how I love fall!! Falling leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, and scarves, bring it on! A special shout out to Dean Roland of Collective Soul (and now of his latest project, Magnets and Ghosts) who’s celebrating his birthday today! Here are some fun things to do to really start off your week right. -Brazilian heavy [...]
By Eileen Tilson No one can say that the power of a mixtape is insignificant these days, just ask Brooklyn rapper Theophilus London, whose popular independent mixtapes landed him a performance on The Late Show with David Letterman earlier this year. His full-length debut album Timez are Weird These Days, mixed by noted producer Dan Carey, [...]
As summer is giving us a crazy last hurrah with these balmy temperatures, we’re doubly spoiled for choice with a TON of incredible gigs, parties and events. From the high brow to the slightly lower, we have you covered. Take in all that Atlanta has to offer while these sunny days last!
Well as I sit here and type my last post of living in Atlanta, I must say I will miss this fair city. Luckily for me, it is only 3 hours away! In a few more hours, I will be packing up and driving to Nashville, but if I was in town, here are a [...]
As I write this I am currently recovering from a fun night with my closest ones, and the thought of going out tonight seems rather exhausting, but if you are feeling frisky tonight, here are some great things for you to do. -Tonight starts the two day shows at the Cobb Energy Center for the [...]

Pictures & Review By Deidra Pinion If you were coming to see Clutch at Center Stage, you probably noticed that almost, if not every seat, was filled.

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: Shockwave Riderz; Playing with !!! @ The EARL 5/22
Shockwave Riderz are a three piece from Pittsburgh consisting of Phil Boyd, Sara Mac and !!! drummer Paul Quattrone who make fuzzy garage rock. The band started making music roughly a year ago, but they are already on a roll. They guys are starting a tour with !!! this week and were super stoked to [...]
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 with Beth Hart – playing Smith’s Olde Bar Tuesday May 7
By Ellen Eldridge Beth Hart brought her life experiences, both positive and negative, together for her April 2 release, Bang Bang Boom Boom, which was produced by Kevin Shirley (Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Joe Bonamassa, Jimmy Page/The Black Crowes, Dream Theater). The Kennedy Center Honors show-stopping performance of Jeff Beck and Beth Hart’s “I’d Rather Go Blind” [...]

5GB Interview w/ Device – Playing @ Center Stage 5/3!
By Ellen Eldridge David Draiman of Disturbed, and ex-Filter guitarist Geno Lenardo recently collaborated together to construct Device. The self-titled debut released April 9, taking strands from hard rock, industrial and electronica to form a focused, fierce and fiery new machine. It all started while the Grammy Award-nominated multiplatinum powerhouse Disturbed was on hiatus. Lenardo [...]
