North Elementary Not For Everyone, Just For You Eskimo Kiss By Julia Reidy Not For Everyone, Just For You is a workout in recent redux. Chapel Hill band North Elementary’s fourth full-length recycles, albeit quite competently, so many of the now clichéd sonic styles found in ‘90s alternative, recalling the likes of Vertical Horizon, […]
In an interesting change for Rialto (other than the odd non-jazz or non-world act), Janelle Monae will be performing at the Georgia State arts venue on April 3.

When I first started going to see rock shows as a kid, I always made sure to get to the venue early so I could catch the opening act. Not always, but sometimes it seemed as though the band that was opening the show for whatever bigger act everyone else was there to see had […]
Madeline White Flag Orange Twin By Julia Reidy It’s unfortunate that the first comparison we’re inclined to make when it comes to female singer-songwriters is who else’s voice theirs resembles. In this case, though, it seems a dual and unavoidable comparison. Athens, Ga.’s Madeline Adams, on her third full-length release at least, sounds like Regina […]
Next Thursday's Big Trouble In Little Five Points is sure to be a scorcher. The Greater Vavoom are sure to make you dance your ass off with their dirty electro. Tres Bien is full of hooky indie pop. And Ominous Castle will be playing fuzzy, electronic-tinged, lo-fi rock. As akways, it's a free gig, so […]
