By Amanda Miles Kurt Thomas knows how to kick off a show. Grabbing the audience’s attention with a strong riff and never letting up is his signature honky tonk style. The cold December wind was no match for the heat emanating from the Kurt Thomas Band at Dixie Tavern on December 9. The venue may […]
Brrrrrr! Wrap up warm folks, this chilly weather isn’t messing around. It’ll get a bit milder over the weekend, but regardless, the wintery temperatures shouldn’t deter you from getting to some great gigs. Local music is especially being represented well this weekend, with record releases and more abound! And if you fancy the field-trip, get […]

By Jeremy Frye Rockford, Ill.’s power-pop institution, Cheap Trick, have an undisputed legacy of four decades of continuous touring and widespread influence in both the hard rock and alt-rock communities. This is a band that built their name (and had their first taste of mainstream success with 1978’s Cheap Trick at Budokan) on their live […]

Things are a little mellow this weekend, probably with everyone gearing up for the big Turkey Fest coming up next week.

This is definitely a weekend for the non-procrastinators. There’s a lot of sold-out (and close to selling out) shows up on our list, but luckily for those who waited too long there is still plenty of great gigs to choose from. So make those plans now if you haven’t already!

Happy Almost-Weekend People! This one is going to rock. From yummy treats at Taste of Atlanta to the marvels and wonders at the Little Five Points Halloween Parade, we’ve got you covered. And if you do pop along to the parade, be sure to find our tent (in front of Criminal Records) with Ticket Alternative. […]
You guys really are spoiled for choice this weekend. The city’s hip older sibling is hosting a little shindig with some college rock legends, while the still-cool but much-older uncle spoils ale lovers rotten with a sold-out craft beer extravaganza. And between all that, there’s a ton of kick-ass rock shows to boot. Choose wisely, […]
What a weekend! There’s celebrations of the city’s best, new wave heroes, and a few extra-special festivals too. And with the unbearable heat long gone (knock on wood), we can run around the city all day and all night and not worry about melting into the pavement. So go forth and rock out!

Either way, there’s plenty to keep your mind occupied. And there is a TON of shows going on sale this weekend too, […]
