Is fall here yet? Almost? Well, at least we have some slightly cooler weather so we can chill out with King of Pops and others at the East Atlanta Strut on Saturday. And there is still plenty of indoor entertainment to rock out to in air conditioned heaven – comedy, rock ‘n’ roll, killer dance […]

By Jeremy Frye Most Americans, if they are familiar with New Zealand (via Australia) pop group Crowded House’s music at all, know them as a two-hit wonder, thanks to their back-to-back 1987 top ten hits, “Don’t Dream It’s Over,” and “Something So Strong.” Internationally, however, they are a beloved and respected hit machine, a band […]
