By Eileen Tilson / @tktalt_tn “The Black Angels are the best band to come out of Austin in a very long time,” says my Nashville music snob friend. Ironically, as much as I hate to join in the hipster singalong, I must agree. By shunning the land of the skinny jeans, The Black Angels have [...]

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 We all know that when you get the Pitchfork seal of approval, it definitely can catapult your music career. Being friends with the boys from Washed Out, also helped this chillwave artist from Columbia, SC. With a massive hipster following, Chaz Bundick joined us as part of our 5GB series before his [...]
Reasons to love Atlanta? There is something bad ass to do almost every single night of the week! Tonight is slightly more electronic than most nights, but you would be hard pressed not to find an awesome show to check out tonight. -Love, love, love the Cold War Kids! Tonight’s show at The Buckhead Theatre [...]
We are almost to the weekend! -It’s day two at the Cobb Energy Centre with alt rockers, Wilco. They are joined by the legendary Nick Lowe, so if you missed last night’s show, be sure to try and make this one. -One of the most buzzed about bands from other bands I have heard about [...]
By Eileen Tilson You might not be familiar with Robert Shaw and Alan Sher, but you will. For the past three years these two fellas have been putting on some of the coolest shows in the growing Westside Atlanta, and they have being doing them all on their own. “What people weren’t realizing is that [...]
The day we…well I, have been waiting for is here! British Mercury Award winners, Elbow are here! Playing at Center Stage, this show is like a mini version of nirvana, that should not be missed! However if you don’t want to hang with the rest of the Anglophiles, here are some other great events happening [...]

A Long Time – Mayer Hawthorne from MayerHawthorne on Vimeo. The Mayor of Cool, Mayer Hawthorne, has been a busy man lately! Currently on tour with Chromeo, they’re playing the Masquerade on Thurs, September 22. Both Chromeo and Mayer are having great weeks with the release of Chromeo’s latest video “When The Night Falls” and [...]
By Eileen Tilson I have a confession to make: Before I received the press release, I had no idea who The Empires were, even though they were a buzz band at SXSW in and made it to the third round of voting to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. Sometimes a girl just has [...]
By Eileen Tilson In less than two years, California’s Foster the People have topped the charts with their insanely addictive hit “Pumped Up Kicks.” With non-stop touring and radio spins non-stop, Foster the People have only just begun. This was their first time in Atlanta, and Atlanta Music Guide was their only interview. If you [...]

Picture Book & Review: The Neighbourhood with The 1975 @ Center Stage June 17th
By Katie Caccavale I must say that as someone who works for an event ticketing company, it was really cool to see the ticket sales for The 1975 and The Neighbourhood show skyrocket. What was originally thought to be a smaller show taking place at Vinyl, quickly grew to a sold out show at the [...]

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: Kylesa; Playing @ The EARL June 21st!
One thing you need to know is that like many great bands that have stuck around for a decade or more, Kylesa defies convention, categorization and they are constantly evolving. This individualism, among other places, can also be found as an ongoing theme in the lyrics of Kylesa’s two core, founding members, Phillip Cope and [...]
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 [...]
5GB Interview: Marc Broussard playing at People’s Fest 2013 in Atlantic Station, 6/22
Marc Broussard is an artist with a unique gift of channeling the spirits of classic R&B, rock and soul into contemporary terms. Throughout his life, Broussard has been tapped as a talent to watch. Marc’s song “Home” was successful at radio and catapulted him onto the national touring stage. His music has been placed in [...]
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 [...]
