Thursday, thursday, thursday! Aren’t you glad? Yeah, me too. Some fun shows tonight, you definitely should check them out… -Are you a fan of The Hold Steady, cause I certainly am. They are indie and awesome, and they are playing The Earl tonight! This show is currently sold out. –COPE was recently dubbed the “Undisputed […]
By Jhoni Jackson Confession: I discovered the wonderful world of R. Stevie Moore only a few years ago. Weirdo-pop virtuoso Ariel Pink was responsible—he cited him in some story I read. In my exploration of Moore’s enormous catalog, I never considered he’d play Atlanta. I didn’t think his work, which includes avant garde experimentalism to […]
By Jhoni Jackson Garage-stomp is the choice term for the Blind Shake. The Minneapolis band employs it in press releases and on their website. There’s no use in arguing—they’re right. There’s no better way to describe them. But what’s that mean, anyway? It means the Minneapolis trio will incite thud after thud on the EARL’s […]
By Jhoni Jackson Brisbane, Australia’s Slug Guts are a little frightening. The band’s third and latest LP, Playin’ in Time with the Deadbeat on Sacred Bones Records, is dark in spirit, a post-punk jaunt in the glorification of the grotesque. Freakish sax accents drums that echo as if recorded in a dungeon, and singer James Dalgleish—or […]

Photos and Review by Chandler Mays Every once in while, a show comes along where afterwards, you say to yourself, “Well, I haven’t seen THAT before.” Zammuto at The Earl was one of these shows. The opening act was aptly titled “Duet For Theremin and Lap Steel”, where Scott Burland and Frank Schultz used these […]
By Jhoni Jackson Blame meticulousness for the delay in Ruby Velle & the Soulphonic’s debut LP. Before the Atlanta band could kill any of its darlings, first they had to grow and nurture them—slowly and carefully, in the most scrupulous way imaginable. Only minutes into It’s About Time and it’s obvious: It was worth the […]
Well hey y’all! How was your week? I have gotta tell you, I am REALLY excited for this week to be over! But you gotta love A) this cooler weather, and B) how many amazing shows are coming up this weekend! -Roaring out of the southern Indiana foothills comes Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band playing […]
To say that Jimbo Mathus is quirky is an understatement (as you will see below!), but as a performer, Mathus contributed vocals on the North Mississippi Allstars’ 2006 Grammy-nominated Electric Blues Watermelon. He recently reteamed with buddy Luther Dickinson and Alvin Youngblood Hart to create the South Memphis String Band, whose first release, Home Sweet […]
Happy Tuesday Atlanta, how are you? I for one am sort of exhausted, but good…Mr. Butch Walker played Nashville last night and sang “Come on Eileen,” which I like to at least tell myself was dedicated to me! Anyway, if […]

You know I used to think getting up early was for the birds, but now I kind of like it! I wonder if that just means I am getting really old….Atlanta, there are SO many cool events happening this weekend that you seriously might want to get your planner out now! -One of the most […]
