5GB With The Drums; Playing The Drunken Unicorn, Tonight Oct. 31

By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn I remember reading in some industry publications about two years ago about this very cool band called, The Drums, from Brooklyn. Now, before you stop reading this due to illegally tight jeans, check them out. This band is actually pretty rad. The Drums released their second album Portamento, on September 5th […]

By Eileen Tilson I can always tell when a band must be really hot by how quickly submissions come pouring in when we do a ticket giveaway, and let me tell you for the Ra Ra Riot/ Yellow Ostrich show, I wanted to turn my email off! Touring around the country together we caught Milo […]

What’s Up Wednesday?

By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn Happy Wednesday Everyone! Have you bought your Halloween costume yet?

5GB With The Wombats; Playing The Loft, October 26

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 […]

CD Review: Gringo Star — Count Yer Lucky Stars; Playing Star Bar, November 19

Gringo Star Count Yer Lucky Stars Gigantic Music By Ellen Eldridge To say a buzz has been brewing over Atlanta locals Gringo Star would downplay the frenetic reverberations on the music industry radar. The allusion to Beatles drummer Ringo Starr remains a cute sarcasm, and fits the band’s style well with the choice of instruments […]

CD Review: Ron Pope — Whatever It Takes; Playing Vinyl, November 4

Ron Pope Whatever It Takes Mason-Dixon Railroad By Al Kaufman Ron Pope loves love. His love songs are strong, strident, and unabashedly sappy. There are no songs about a girl done him wrong here, only songs about how happy his girl makes him feel. Ron Pope loves two other things; his guitar and majestic songs. […]
