Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Show Review: Alec Ounsworth of CYHSY @ The Cottonmill Lofts 2/24

2005: I remember driving around my small college town with Clap Your Hands Say Yeah pouring out of the speakers back when I was barely old enough to vote. Their self-titled debut was still new in the world and it had the unique distinction of having gained notoriety not only based on the strength of […]

Show Review: Datsik 2/13

We’ve heard buzz about Datsik blowing his NINJA NATION tour out of the water…and we heard right. Joined by Barely Alive, Trolley Snatcha and Kennedy Jones, Datsik tore up the stage at Opera Nightclub on Friday. Known for his layered bass, hard drops and hip/hop influence, Datsik delivered exactly what his fans wanted. While throwing […]

Show Review: Parquet Courts @ The EARL 1/29

It’s one of the first temperate evenings to settle into Atlanta since winter came along and forced us out of our tank tops and into our coats and hats. There were probably several parks where new couples strolled together, still able to genuinely relish holding hands. Restaurant patios were probably less barren and lonesome looking […]

Show Review: Adventure Club @ Opera Nightclub 1/30

Adventure Club absolutely killed their set at Opera Nightclub on Friday. The sold out show turned into a madhouse of crazy energy, and proved to be another one of AC’s incredible sets. The show began with SupaPhreshh, an Atlanta duo that performed their first set in three years Friday night. They played until 1:15 a.m, with […]

Bear's Den

Live Review: Bear’s Den @ The Earl 11/17

London-based Bear’s Den consists of trio Andrew Davie (vocals, guitar), Joey Haynes (banjo, vocal), and Kevin Jones (vocals, drums). They released their debut album, Islands, earlier this year on October 20 via Communion Records to much critical acclaim. It was only after finding their identity on the road that the band decided to focus their attention […]

Throwback Thursday: Live Review: Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3– April 2009

This review was originally published on April 8, 2009. Robyn Hitchcock will be playing at Eddie’s Attic on October 31, 2014 and November 1, 2014.    From the familiar beginning arpeggiated chords of show opener “I Often Dream of Trains” to the slightly shambolic ending of final encore “Listening to the Higsons” with its familiar […]

Concert Review: Yellowcard & Memphis May Fire at The Masquerade 10/28

Yellowcard and Memphis May Fire played at Heaven in The Masquerade on Tuesday, October 28th despite canceling a show less than a week ago. Even though there were two relatively distinct fan bases present, the groups were able to come together to deliver a crowd-surfing show that thoroughly impressed the diverse audience. Memphis May Fire rocked […]

Live Review | Little Daylight at Vinyl, 3/21

Last Friday night, 3/21, I got a chance to stop by Vinyl to catch one of my new favorite breakout bands live for the first time, Little Daylight. I had interviewed one of the band members, Eric, a few weeks back and was so intrigued by the group that I knew I had to see […]

Live Review | Dum Dum Girls at The EARL, 3/20

By Hillery Terenzi My first encounter of the Dum Dum Girls was back in 2011. I heard a few songs on XMU and I was curious enough to want to go and photograph this band, plus I have a soft spot for awesome girl bands. Fast forward three years later and two shows later, the […]

Shovels & Rope @ Variety Playhouse, March 1st

By: Rosie Judd The last couple of years have seen Shovels & Rope explode from one of indie rock’s best kept secrets to one of the break-out acts of last year’s Shaky Knees Festival. The band is used to playing headlining shows in Atlanta, but generally to much smaller audiences at The Earl and The […]

Live Review: Odesza @ Terminal West, February 21

On February 21st, Odesza hit the stage at their sold out show Terminal West @ King Plow. Opener Real Magic primed the first few attendees for a spirited production and the masses filled in slowly but surely. After publicly scolding whoever touched their laptop in between performances, Odesza dove headfirst into their seamless, beat-based setlist. The […]

White Lies @ Center Stage, February 18

By: Rosie Judd White Lies brought their gorgeously ominous music to Center Stage Tuesday night to a truly enthusiastic audience. While the set was mostly made up of tracks from their latest record, Big TV, there were enough of their older songs sprinkled into a dark and danceable evening of live music. Opener Frankie Rose […]

Live Review: The Expendables @ The Loft, 2/18

Live Review: The Expendables @ The Loft, 2/18

By: Halina Wilusz I typically don’t dabble in the reggae scene much minus a brief stint on spring break following The Movement when I was 19, but the hype around this band had me intrigued. Originally from Santa Cruz, The Expendables, who have shared the stage with the likes of Slightly Stoopid, Pepper, No FX, […]

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.

Live Review: Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. @ Terminal West, February 18

  On February 18th at Terminal West @ King Plow, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. brought down the flippin’ house. With a magical ball of light and animation as their guide, the Detroit boys came in delicate and refreshing with “Hiding” from their 2013 album The Speed of Things. The first part of the show went by […]

Flogging Molly @ The Tabernacle, February 15

Review and Photos By: Hillery Terenzi After dealing with Snowpocalypse 2.0 aka “Atlantartica”, it was nice to see die hard Flogging Molly fans come out for the final go round of the Green 17 tour on Saturday night at the Tabernacle. Florida-based punk band, The Attack was first on stage, followed by The Drowning Men, […]
