Live Videos: One Hand Loves The Other, Strezo, Antic Clay (2/23/2007) The Drunken Unicorn

Last Saturday night I went to the Stickfigure Distribution February Showcase and caught some ATLiens. First up was Antic Clay, whose double disc album Hilarious Death Blues from last year I loved. He is a bit too country for the hipsters, but if you can get over that, he makes some great music. Next up was Strezo, who I thought did an impressive set. Frontwoman Kristin Strezo combined beautiful vocals with some strange performance art that I really dug. While I've had trouble getting into their album, I have to say they were really good live. One Hand Loves The Other closed out the show, and did some acoustic versions of their songs and a cover, of which I got videos below. I bought their remix album after the show and it is very cool. They will be at The Star Bar tonight, so you should check it out.

ATLiens for today:

Antic Clay



Antic Clay, aka Michael Bradley, is the former front man of Atlanta Gothic Country band MYSSOURI. I've been jamming this incredible double disc constantly since getting a copy. Hilarious Death Blues is a really stand out album of 2007 to me mostly because it takes a genre I have little interest in and enthralls me. Almost every song on this hour and a half plus piece of work is gold:

• Look Down The Dark Barrel
  
• Thousand Star Hotel
  
• Filthy Lucre King

Jupiter Watts



The Jupiter Watts' newest release, their self-titled LP, is a big step up for these guys. The more I listen to this album, the more I love it. You can tell how much attention to detail they put into every song. Check it out:

• Travel Without Sound
• Bikini Attol

Parade



The newest release from one of my favourite Atlanta bands, The Answer Me EP, sees this bands continuing to realize its amazing potential. Beautiful songwriting plus brilliant execution. If you've yet to look into this 4-piece, now is the time.
