CD Review: Weapons of Audio — Bipolar; Playing Star Bar, October 21
Weapons of Audio Bipolar Unsigned By Eric Chavez If there is one thing you cannot do, it’s define what kind of sound that Weapons of Audio have created for their album Bipolar. There’s a little hip-hop, some electronica, a bit of pop, some rap, even a little slice of blues. With all these sounds, does the […]

Live Review: Miniature Tigers, Young Orchids, Lera Lynn at Star Bar, August 20
By David Courtright; photo by Sam Parvin On a line-up of very disparate but talented performers, Athens’s Lera Lynn and Atlanta’s own Young Orchids joined Phoenix’s Miniature Tigers at the Star Community Bar last Friday.

CD Review: Miniature Tigers — Fortress; Playing Star Bar, August 20
Miniature Tigers Fortress Modern Art/LG By Eileen Tilson Once upon a time there was a woman who ate her very first pot brownie.

AMG Weekend Picks: Hal Sparks, The Selmanaires, Counting Crows, Zoroaster and More!
My goodness, what a week. It’s been hot, stormy and maybe just a little miserable – and that’s just been our moods.

Last Ever Big Trouble In Little Five Points This Thursday With The Barreracudas
We’re sad to have to announce that the last ever Big Trouble in Little Five Points is taking place this Thursday.

This month marks […]
