All the way from our sister blog TA Live, it's Leila's Three Picks of the Week! ***** Little Tybee recently played one of our monthly showcases, which we hosted with our sister site Atlanta Music Guide, called DRINKSHOP Live at the W Atlanta Downtown hotel. I'd hate to classify them as just indie folk, because […]
We're very excited to announced the details for this year's Peach Drop in Underground Atlanta. "The Largest New Year's Eve Celebration in the Southeast" is bringing a fantastic lineup of music, with Stellate, Ben Deignan, The WannaBeatles and Morris Day and the Time on the main stage. And on the Kenny's Alley stage, there will […]
Serena RyderIs It O.K.Atlantic By Al Kaufman Ontario's Serena Ryder won the 2008 Juno (Canada's version of the Grammy) Award for Best New Artist for Is It O.K.. Granted, Canada is home to the likes of Bryan Adams, Anne Murray, Celine Dion and Corey Hart, but Neil Young, Daniel Lanois, Feist and Leonard Cohen call […]
We're having a really hard time believing shows for March are already being scheduled! And here's one we're especially excited about. On March 5 at The EARL, the wonderfully funky, cool, electro mammoth that is Noot D'Noot will be joined by The Selmanaires and (member of both bands at one point) Mathis Hunter, who will […]

There'll be free alcohol until midnight and DJ Tee tha Barber spinning tunes. Tickets are available at Ticket Alternative. Smith's Olde Bar […]
Straight No ChaserChristmas CheersAtco/Atlantic By Al Kaufman Christmas and a capella go together as well as Halloween and chamber music. Both are bright and festive, but at their heart are beautiful and meaningful. The 10-man a capella group, Straight No Chaser, bring both those elements to their second Christmas CD, Christmas Cheers.
We don't tend to feature every little freebie that labels and the like give out, because usually they're not much to get excited about. But we couldn't stay quiet about this one, by RED publicity company. Not only does it feature a ton of fab music from our favorite bands of this year, but many […]
Although the presale has already been and gone, the main sale date for the rest of us mere mortals is this Friday, December 11 at 10 a.m. at Live Nation. It's been an awful long time since David Gray has come to Atlanta, and this time he has a new record too, Draw The Line.
The demand for The xx's Atlanta show at The EARL in March 25 has already been so overwhelming that it's been moved from The EARL to Variety Playhouse.

By Leila Regan-Porter, Chris Blais It's the time of year for holiday specials, and the local music scene is getting in the spirit too. That includes Atlanta's famous (infamous?) Yacht Rock, of the PleaseRock group. We chat to "Nick Nespajeen," the leader of the band (bottom center in the holiday-style pic above, holding a sea […]
Could definitely also be titled, "Green Screens Are Fun!" On "Loretta," The Dead Trees play a fun 'n' fuzzy rendition of garage rock, the likes of which echo much of the dirtier sounds on The Beatles' White Album, with the thrashing repetition of the last chords carrying on rock 'n' roll where "Helter Skelter" left […]
Person LThe PositivesAcademy Fight Song By Al Kaufman Kenneth Vasoli left the heavily influential The Starting Line because he found their pop-punk sound to be too limiting. With Person L, he clearly does not have that problem. There is still some of that pop-punk sound on The Positives, most notably on "Untitled," but mostly this […]
