By Sam Parvin With The Constellations’ recent signing to Virgin Records, I anticipated a rather rowdy show at The EARL on Thursday night, and, girl, was I right!

Behind the Scenes: The Whiskey Gentry films “Four Horsemen” in Dahlonega

Normally if someone told me I would be spending my Saturday in a dark, cold, mineshaft with bats hanging upside down, I would not be so eager to go. However, being in this Dahlonega mine shaft, while watching Atlanta’s own Whiskey Gentry shoot their video for “Four Horsemen” was the kind of visual experience that […]

Live Review: The Brunettes, Throw Me The Statue, Nurses @ The Drunken Unicorn, September 7

By Julia Reidy I’ve come to really dig the homemade decorations bands have taken to draping across their equipment for the sake of… what, beauty? Hipster kitsch? Either way, it’s pretty charming. (I mean, have you ever seen These Are Powers live?) For Portland,Ore.’s Nurses (pictured above), the knitted doilies tied to their tables and […]

CD Review: Circulatory System — Signal Morning

Circulatory System Signal Morning Cloud Recordings By Julia Reidy Circulatory System’s Signal Morning embodies everything that’s great about Athens’ famed Elephant 6 collective — the experimental streak, the grumbling soundscapes, the ‘60s pop throwback vocals and guitar work (complete with backwards records), the psychedelia — without everything it risks. Will Cullen Hart (formerly of The […]
