Picture Book & Live Review: The Shins @ Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, October 8th!

Pictures courtesy of Hillery Terenzi, Review by Codi Glancy. There are concerts that are good, concerts that are great, and concerts that change your outlook towards all other concerts in the best way.  The Shins were one of those life changing concerts, at least for me. The Shins are legends in the “indie” music world. […]

COPE turned that momentum into several headlining spots at marquee music […]

Picture Book & Live Review: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals @ the Tabernacle, October 6th

  Pictures and Review by Taylor Wallace! You could tell instantly upon entrance to the Tabernacle off Luckie St. that this would be no ordinary Grace Potter show. Every seat in both balconies was occupied and the floor was packed full of fans of all ages.  Grace tends to bring together a very joyful and […]

5GB With The Kingston Springs; Playing The Basement At Graveyard Tavern, Oct. 11th

Just from being in the local Atlanta music scene, I have heard about Nashville’s The Kingston Springs. I have heard about their heavy blues, folk, rocky top surf rock sound, their comparison to a young Black Keys, and the fact that they were asked to play such heavy-hitters such as Lollapalooza…..and then I saw and […]

5GB Atlas Genius; Playing The Tabernacle With Silversun Pickups, Oct. 9th

Oct. 9th is a special day all around for me…John Lennon & my best friend’s birthday, so I tend to think anything that happens on Oct. 9th must be pretty special. Tomorrow night at the Tabernacle, Atlas Genius, the South Australian indie rock band who recently released their debut EP, titled Through the Glass, are very quickly making […]

Photos by: CatMax Photography, LLC, Review by Catrina Maxwell I have to be honest when I was first asked to cover Nicki Bluhm I said yes, but had no idea who Nicki Bluhm was. There seemed to be some buzz about some YouTube videos called the “Van Sessions”. With two shows packed in one night […]

Show Preview: Why You Must See R. Steve Moore at the EARL Oct. 7

By Jhoni Jackson Confession: I discovered the wonderful world of R. Stevie Moore only a few years ago. Weirdo-pop virtuoso Ariel Pink was responsible—he cited him in some story I read. In my exploration of Moore’s enormous catalog, I never considered he’d play Atlanta. I didn’t think his work, which includes avant garde experimentalism to […]

5GB with The Blind Shake; Playing @ The EARL Saturday, Oct. 6

By Jhoni Jackson Garage-stomp is the choice term for the Blind Shake. The Minneapolis band employs it in press releases and on their website. There’s no use in arguing—they’re right. There’s no better way to describe them. But what’s that mean, anyway? It means the Minneapolis trio will incite thud after thud on the EARL’s […]
