Various Coathangers appearances at Criminal Records:

What Up In The ATL?

Tonight I recommend going down to The Earl for a killer show. It starts off with Atlanta supergroup Batata Doce. Then a local band called When Rocky Beat The Russian. I had no idea who they were until researching this week's show listings and discovering the songs on their myspace page to be very impressive and intriguing. The show is headlined by North Carolina's The Physics Of Meaning, who is lead by multi-instrumentalist Daniel Hart. Hart is a member of St. Vincent and John Vanderslice's band and even contributed to recordings by The Polyphonic Spree, Annuals, and The Rosebuds.

The Physics Of Meaning : Down At Columbia And Cameron



Tomorrow there are two big shows to check out. Devotchka at The Variety Playhouse or Blood On The Wall at The Earl. I'm planning to Catch BOTW, but I think both of those would be good.

Blood On The Wall : Hibernation



Devotchka : Transliterator



Thursday night you can choose from The Coathangers at The Drunken Unicorn or Morning State at The Star Bar.

Friday night there are lots of ATLien shows for you to catch:

Star Bar: Sovus Radio, The Clutters, All The Saints
Lenny's: Howlies, The Hiss, Chainstereo
Drunken Unicorn: Carbonas, Test Patterns, Pincho Gringo (Rob's House Showcase)

Saturday night I like the Dropsonic, Self-Evident, 13 Day Mission show at The Earl.

Sunday night Laura Veirs is playing at The Earl but I am more excited about Indian Jewelry at Eyedrum:

Record Store Day In Atlanta: Dead Confederate, The Coathangers, Club Awesome

I spent a few hours last weekend at Criminal Records for their Record Store Day celebration. Here are the three local bands who played there that matter most:

Dead Confederate:



We've been talking about them for a while now around Ohmpark and the justified hype is starting to get some traction on the webs post-SXSW. Earfarm spent some time with them while they were down in Austin and has a bunch of cool material. Speaking of SXSW, you can get an entire performance here. Southern Shelter has just put up a show on their site where Dead Confederate played nothing but Sonic Youth covers at The 40 Watt in Athens earlier this year here. A sample:

Dead Confederate : Silver Rocket (Sonic Youth cover)


At Criminal:

The Coathangers



The Coathangers quick rise to ATLien elite status last year is an interesting phenomenon, and while I'm not the biggest fan of bands getting popular in this town solely because of their stage act and attitude rather than their music, these girls back up their their brash aura with clever lyrics and catchy tunes. I stumbled across this great remix of one my favourite Coathangers songs on the 'net last night:

The Coathangers : Parcheezie (Griff Remix ft. Fitzgerald)


Here they are doing that song last Saturday:



And Kimcriminal has one up too, she has tons of vids of in-store Criminal Record performances you an check out here.

Club Awesome



Atlanta's Club Awesome, known for their pool parties and "Whyte Tygre" suit, are what I would describe as in the greater post-punk/post-pop vicinity. I arrived too late to get some video of their show, but I did pick up a handmade advance copy of their debut album, and it is really good. Here's a track:

Club Awesome : Trainwreck


They have a few shows coming up:

3 May - Atlanta, GA @ Smith's Olde Bar (500 Songs For Kids)
25 May - Wilmington, NC @ Soapbox (We Festival)

What Up In The ATL?

This is an incredible week for live shows in the A. Get it started with the trailer to the upcoming documentary on the Atlanta music scene We Fun (this looks awesome!):

Official WE FUN Trailer


The Gaye Blades (featuring Jared Swiley from the Black Lips) will be at The Drunken Unicorn tonight with Coffin Bound and Mammals.

Wednesday night RJD2 is at the Variety Playhouse. I caught him last year at about this time and I didn't really dig it. So if you're smart, you'll go local and check out The Good Moods, The Hotels and Goodnight Mush. at The Drunken Unicorn:



The Good Moods : Jericho


The Good Moods : Old Jersey Trees



Thursday night the Free ISP/Pine Magazine showcase at The Star Bar is the place to be:



Lovesick Scientist is Justin Sias (Elevado) produced by Brian Slusher (Slushco). Go Listen!

A Fight To The Death : Old Black Chains


Cassavettes : My Heart Your Beat



Friday night I'm going to the 11:11 Teahouse to catch 13 Day Mission, Beatrix Kiddo, and Miles From Pangea. I'm working on a piece about these great bands that will be out in the next couple days and I highly recommend checking this one out:




Saturday night is an ATL superstar supernight:

Enon, Howlin Rain, All Night Drug Prowling Wolves, Nomen Novem (featuring members of Moorish Idols) are at The Drunken Unicorn.

The Mourdella (Jessica Juggz's band) CD Release show with Chopper (featuring Colin Mee of Deerhunter), The Coathangers and West End Motel (featuring Brett Hinds of Mastodon and Tom Cheshire of All Night Drug Prowling Wolves) is at The Earl. Looks like Tom Cheshire is gonna have a busy night.

Mourdella : Brink Of Catastrophie


Mourdella : 'Til You Bleed


You can cap off your week with Dunch (the Sunday brunch/dinner) at The Earl featuring The Jupiter Watts doing a low-key set.

Jupiter Watts : Felix (1/4/2008 version)



Damn, the ATL is just too fun!

Just another great week to be a music fan in the A. Get out and see some shows!

What Up In The ATL?

Gringo Star's newest video got up on the 'fork this week:



Back when they used to be called A Fir-Ju Well, they lived over in my 'hood and have been one of the very first ATL bands I really got into. Their 2005 Absolutely is truly an amazing album that is an essential for ITP folks. I can't wait for the first proper Gringo Star record which should finally be out this year because these guys deserve to blow up. March 6th be sure to check out their 7" release party at The Earl.

A Fir-Ju Well : No Man


A Fir-Ju Well : Together



Tonight the big show is Liars and No Age at The Earl (two bands whose albums made our top 50 2007 lists).

Tomorrow The Earl has another great show with this year's blog bands, Black Mountain and Blood on The Wall. I've been enjoying the Black Mountain album and didn't really like the new Blood On The Wall upon my first listen.

Black Mountain : Evil Ways


Also Friday night is The Howlies at Star Bar and Victor Wooten at The Variety Playhouse.

Saturday seem to offer some great house parties I plan on hitting up. Early in the afternoon you can go to East Atlanta and hit up Rob's House. The festivities:

keg taping - 3pm
westend motel - 330pm
bobby and the soft spots - 430pm
subsonics - 530pm

Then there is this with Dirty Projector's Nat Baldwin:



Monday night you should check out this:



Dead Meadow : What Needs Must Be


Then on Tuesday is the Atlas Sound show at the Drunken Unicorn on the day his first proper album drops. I'm pretty stoked about it. And next Wednesday The Selmanaires and The Coathangers are doing a 7" release show at The Earl before they each head out in separate directions on tour and meet back up at SXSW.

Atlas Sound : Activation

This Week In The A

Tonight Georgie James, featuring members of Q And Not U, will be at the Drunken Unicorn.

Wednesday night offers many great options. There is The Selmanaires, The Coathangers, and Ponderosa at The Drunken Unicorn, there is The Howlies, Judi Chicago, and Giant Tigers at The Earl and Type-O Negative at the Masquerade.

Stickfigure Distribution has a show at 141 Moreland Ave Thursday night featuring Das Kapital, Canadian Rifle, The Brokedowns, and The Kiwis.

Georgie James : More Lights

Stars : The Night Starts Here

This Week In The ATL

Here's my picks for shows to check out this week:

Tonight: Pinback at The Roxy

Tomorrow: Yo Majesty, The Coathangers, Rob Wonder at the Drunken Unicorn.

Wednesday show of "has-beens" that would probably still be cool: Alice in Chains, Velvet Revolver, Sparta at Hi-Fi Buys Amphitheatre.

Wednesday show that I will actually go to: Untied States, These Are Powers, Gold Painted Nails at the Drunken Unicorn

Thursday show I'm hoping to score a cheap ticket for: Foo Fighters at the Tabernacle

Thursday show I'll check out late: Je Suis France at the Drunken Unicorn

Saturday show that might be worth driving to Athens for: !!! (chk chk chk), The Field at the 40 Watt

Sunday show of bands that will drive from Athens to the ATL (Also the show I am most excited about this week): Cinemechanica, We Versus The Shark, So Many Dynamos, Scars at the Drunken Unicorn

Hot tracks:

Untied States : I'll Prove You Wrong (Again)


These Are Powers : Little Sisters Of Beijing


Cinemechanica : Ruins Of Karnac


We Versus The Shark : I Am A Fantastic Battle


So Many Dynamos : Search Party

Atlanta Shows Say Yeaher!

I got the new Black Lips album yesterday and it is rad. Here's an interview and song they did on 99X yesterday morning:

Black Lips Interview


Tonight there are two great shows going on. I'm going to Peter Bjorn And John and Clientele at the Variety Playhouse. Equally as cool is the Meat Puppets and Atlanta's Morning State are at The Earl.

Thursday night you can choose between The Coathangers at the Drunken Unicorn, Dead Confederate at the Earl, or Andrew Bird at the Variety Playhouse.

Friday night the Carbonas are at the Drunken Unicorn.

Saturday night it is all about the East Atlanta Strut Fest here in the A. The after-party at the Earl features Howlies (formerly Moresight), Elevado, Anna Kramer, and The Preakness. I might be going to Athens, Ga that night to see Akron/Family at the 40 Watt.

Akron/Family : Love Is Simple : Ed Is A Portal


Carbonas : Carbonas : Count Me Out


The Meat Puppets : Meat Puppets II : Lake Of Fire


Peter Bjorn And John : Objects Of My Affections : Let's Call It Off (Girl Talk remix)

Live Review: The Coathangers (9/4/2007) Criminal Records

Last Tuesday afternoon I went down to Little Five Points to catch the Coathangers doing a free in-store performance at Criminal Records. The uber-hipsters were out and about in what seemed an almost surreal scene. The theme for the day The Coathangers were going with was "Dreams Come True", a reference to their out-of-nowhere ascension in the Atlanta music scene. They repped it well with an armada of props including balloons, bubble machines, pink clouds, miniature live horses, a live monkey, candy gift packs, and a unicorn pinata. They played outside the front door of the store to a huge crowd, and even Mastodon's Brent Hinds came to check it out. As they played what i thought to be a good set, there were a couple of things that struck me. First, the music was really good for as much as their reputation for being bad musicians is floated around, and i feel like on a sonic level they have a really interesting vision that has enormous potential if they can improve and master their instruments. Secondly, despite the over-the-topness of their image, and the props, and the hype, there's something about them that feels really genuine. It felt like they really don't take themselves that seriously and they seem to be more surprised about how big they've become than anyone else. I bought a copy of their self-titled album and have been pleasantly surprised by what a good album it is too. I thought it might be a bunch of filler around already popular songs like "Nestle In My Boobies", but there is something interesting going on throughout.

So my take on The Coathangers now is this, i like them, and they may be over-hyped relative to all of the great talent in the Atlanta music scene, but they aren't just some hacks playing dress-up and they certainly have the potential to become one of Atlanta's greatest but they will now have some high expectations to live up to, which comes with any band that blows up so quickly, and hopefully they are up for the challenge. They will be at the 40 Watt in Athens with the Black Lips and The Selmanaires Wednesday night and at the Drunken Unicorn Thursday night with Shock Cinema, Dragons Of Zynth Chainstereo, and The Skylarks (formerly the band Variac) so check them out for yourself.

This Weekend I'll See You In The A

In addition to our free beer and great music Saturday night, there is a lot of cool stuff going on in the city. Thursday night The Other Sound Festival begins at the Drunken Unicorn with Moresight, Pistolero, Mary O. Harrison, and Envie. Friday night it continues at The Earl with Allnightdrugprowlingwolves, Lay Down Mains, The Press, The Yum yum Tree, Citified, and Fernadina. The Coathangers CD release party is at The Star Bar Friday night. If you're more hippy than hipster, Dark Star Orchestra are at the Variety Playhouse Friday night. If none of those strike your fancy there is The Pendletons, Auditioning Alice, Sonen, and The Sea Lions at Lenny's.

Saturday night The National, The Rosebuds, and Doveman are at The Variety Playhouse. The Other Sound Festival continues at Lenny's with Luigi, Club Awesome, One Hand Loves The Other, The Orphins, The Jupiter Watts, Novelift, Silent Kids, and Disassemble. Another big show Saturday night is The Close's final show at the Earl with The Liverhearts and Teen Wheat. Remember, even if you go catch one of the other great shows of the night, our party will be going late so come over for the afterparty.

Sunday The Jupiter Watts are playing the dunch at The Earl and The other Sound Festival ends at 11:11 Teahouse with Untied States, Tenth To The Moon, Jeff Evans, and Batata Doce.

The Press : Noxious Saucy Beast : Trade Blows


One Hand Loves The Other : One Hand Loves The Other : Tortoise


Untied States : Retail Detail : Immaculate


Luigi : Found On The Forest Floor : Mariposa


The Rosebuds : The Night Of The Furies : I Better Run

Word On The Street

Colin Mee, guitarist for Deerhunter, has parted ways with the band. Hear what he has to say about it here. The drama continues for these guys, but hopefully everyone involved continues making great music and the hype is justified.



Speaking of hype, Creative Loafing did a story on The Coathangers and the blowing up of said band. I'm reserving any real judgement about this band until I listen to the album and see them today at Criminal Records, but listening to their songs makes me laugh, and that's cool.



ISP Space is closing down. I have to say that this is a bummer to me because I really enjoyed the shows I saw there.

Here's some Black Lips news from their myspacing:

The Black Lips' newest opus, Good Bad Not Evil which you can stream in its entirety onMySpace this week, comes out September 11. For the momentous occasion, Black Lips are doing a special show at MJQ in Atlanta. How do you get into the show? Well, it's easy. Starting Tuesday, September 4, Good Bad Not Evil will be available for pre-order at ye olde Criminal Records. If you truck down early to pre-order the record, you not only get a spiff-tastic DVD of Black Lips Live in Israel which you can't get your paws on anywhere else, but you get the secret handshake invite to the show on September 11. Assuming the show doesn't sell out before release date, there will be CDs available as your ticket in at MJQ on the day of the show, but why would you risk it? Oh, and you only get the DVD if you pre-order or buy at Criminal on release date. So if you've got nothing to do on Tuesday during your lunch break besides sneak a couple of pints, head down to Criminal and pre-order that gem and get ready for the show.

Here's a video @ Radio Har-Hatzofim, JERUSALEM ISRAEL:



Okkervil River will be at The 40 watt in Athens, Ga October 3rd.

Wondering what the chicks from Sleater-Kinney have been up to? Check this out

Burn To Shine, a cool film series where they have a bunch of bands from a city play a song in a house about to get demolished, is about to do one in Atlanta featuring Mastodon, Deerunter, Black Lips, Snowden, The Selmanaires, The Coathangers, and Shannon Wright.

The internets are exploding with rumours that My Bloody Valentine will be reuniting and playing Coachella next year. Let the 2008 festival line-up speculation madness begin!

You can stream the great new Minus The Bear album here.

Remember that Midlake is at The Earl tonight. Don't miss it:

Atlanta Music Updates

Saturday night I went to Lenny's for their one year anniversary show. Unfortunately Atlas Sound, Bradford Cox of Deerhunter's solo/side project, did not show up and Psychic Heart's mini-set didn't start until after 11:30pm, but at least Snowden kicked ass as always. Stickfigure Distribution has just reissued their self titled EP debut release. Here's a sample:

Snowden : Snowden : Good News


Buy Snowden Here



Also, here's the title track from last year's Anti Anti:

Snowden : Anti Anti : Anti Anti



Deerhunter's Blog has got some really cool stuff on it, including mp3s from their first release, a split 7" with Alphabets featuring their former-now-deceased bassist and of which there were only 300 copies pressed. Check it out here:
