If you’ve been to the Star Bar, ever, then you know the stern-but-sweetheart guy that is Joe Monsour. And if you are a regular, then you are guaranteed to love him. Joe’s had a gnarly time of it late, with some mounting dental bills, and so to lend a hand, Star Bar is putting on […]
By Eileen Tilson For a self-declared Anglophile, I was semi-shocked that I was not aware that one of Atlanta’s own played with Noel Gallagher’s (of Oasis) new act, High Flying Birds.

Birdy Birdy Warner Brothers/14th Floor By Al Kaufman America is not the only country that makes huge stars out of televised music competitions.

By Ellen Eldridge I took a deep breath and a heaping dose of “get over it” advice when conquering the overwhelming feeling of trying to come up with insightful questions for a band that has influenced and acted as the undercurrent for so much mainstream music over the last three decades. The Melvins’ own Buzz […]

Review by Justin Lyons; photos by Matthew Smith (www.shadowboxerphoto.com) A lot has changed in the electronic music world since French duo Justice broke on the scene with “D.A.N.C.E.” and Cross.

Sometimes it is a good thing just to have a relatively quiet evening. I’m pretty certain that if you spend too much time going to shows, you might forget about the really great ones.
