Radiolucent w/ Aaron Lee Tasjan at The EARL
Radiolucent was formed in early 2007. The years have brought about several evolutions with band members and sounds, but what we now know as Radiolucent is a hard-hitting, heart-felt, full-on group of Georgia boys who want to make the best music possible. Now consisting of Michael Mann, Zach Neal, Dylan Andrews, Clint Poe, and Mike Cowan, they’re bridging influences such as 60’s Rock’n’Roll, Soul/R&B, Gospel, Country, and a little bit of pop sensibility. They have managed to find a path in music that is genuinely their own world.
Saturday, December 13th
Atlanta Rhythm Section at Eddie’s Attic
Formed from the cream of Atlanta’s studio musicians, the Atlanta Rhythm Section (actually hailing from nearby Doraville, Georgia) came together in 1970 after working on a Roy Orbison recording session. After an extended break, the band got back together in the mid-‘90s and re-recorded some of their best and best-known songs. The live-in-the-studio sound of Atlanta Rhythm Section ‘96 presents a different, less polished take on some classic tunes and captures the sound of their live performances from that period. It was around this time that ARS was elected to the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. The band was honored at a September 1996 induction ceremony at the Georgia World Congress Center.
Tyler, the Creator at The Tabernacle
In late 2009, he released his debut album under the title “Bastard”. Led by the title track and “French”, it was placed 32nd on Pitchfork Media’s list of the Top Albums of 2010 and the second single was ranked 61st on Pitchfork Media’s list of the Top 100 Tracks of 2010. although his solo career seemed to be on the track, Tyler put up with his group, going on tours and promoting the group’s second album.

Hawks w/ The Powder Room at The EARL
Sunday, December 14th
Goapele at The Loft
Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 day of show. Doors open at 7pm.
Living Colour at The Masquerade
During the 1980s, rock had become completely segregated and predictable, the opposite of the late ‘60s/early ‘70s, when such musically and ethnically varied artists as Jimi Hendrix, Sly & the Family Stone, and Santana ruled the Earth. But bands such as New York’s Living Colour helped break down the doors by the end of the ‘80s, leading to a much more open-minded musical landscape that would eventually pave the way for future bands (Rage Against the Machine, Sevendust, etc.).
Tickets are $20 in advance. Show starts at 7pm.

Rich Robinson at Eddie’s Attic
With the release of his third solo album, The Ceaseless Sight, Rich Robinson, best known as the guitarist, songwriter, and founder of The Black Crowes, completes the solo artist evolution that he began ten years earlier. In his album review for Rolling Stone, David Fricke sums up that evolution: “Rich Robinson has been a gathering storm, closing in on a lyrically spiritual, musically earthy balance of electric-blues, bravado, psychedelic-country exploration and almost courtly vocal cool.”
