Party in the Park 2014
Party in the Park took over Centennial Olympic Park this Saturday, May 17th to a huge crowd of flower headband adorned teens, hipster parents with well-dressed hipster children and drunken college students alike. The weather had cleared up perfectly, amidst horrid rumors of yet another rained out outdoor Atlanta event. Aside from an already impressive…
Modest Mouse at The Norva
I’ve been standing in the crowd for going on an hour now. Empty stage. Empty Beer cups and a steadily emptying wallet (f*ck you, six-dollar Miller Lites.) Years of pent up nostalgic attachment to Modest Mouse’s music has me restless. Nervous even. Seeing a favorite band for the first time is similar to meeting a…
Shaky Knees 2014: The Music Festival Atlanta’s Been Waiting For
[tps_header] If you live anywhere close to close to Atlanta, you should have been at Shaky Knees Music Fest this past weekend. In just two years, Shaky Knees has solidified its position towards the top of Atlanta’s music landscape. The lineup is incredible (you’ve got Modest Mouse, The Gaslight Anthem, Cage the Elephant, Blood Red Shoes, The…
SXSW 2014: Guitar Center Sessions with Phantogram and Snoop Dogg
It had finally arrived. My last night of South By Southwest. The lineup was as stellar as the venue. The stage was set up on top of the rooftop of the Starr Building in downtown Austin and loomed high above my head, an impressive structure that looked like it belonged on TV. And on TV…
Odonis Odonis at World Famous, Athens, GA
On their tour’s sixth stop , musical trio Odonis Odonis of Toronto Canada made their way down to humble ol’ Athens, GA to grace us all …well, all 50 of us or so…with their very polite presence. Okay, I might be postulating here, but they did seem like a very nice bunch – and well dressed, I…
SXSW 2014: The Bright Light Social Hour at The Main II
11 p.m. rolled around, and the crowd was getting anxious at The Main II in downtown Austin. This city’s own The Bright Light Social Hour were set to take the stage for their official SX showcase, and they were running slightly late. Even with several other notable acts set to perform later that night, including up-and-coming indie…
Diarrhea Planet: The Best Live Band You’ll Ever See
[tps_header] What’s up? We’re Diarrhea Planet, and we just woke up!! It was the final day of South by Southwest, and the guys from Diarrhea Planet were taking the stage as I was waiting outside the gates of Austin’s Historic Scoot Inn. It was a rainy Saturday with an uncharacteristically long wait time for an…
Lydia: ‘Illuminate’ Tour
There truly is nothing better than being at a show surrounded by dedicated and enthusiastic fans. It feels as if time has stopped, and the only thing that matters in the world is about to walk out on stage and put on a show just for you. I was lucky enough to be a part…
Recap: Athens Slingshot Festival
With over 70 bands spread out among 12 different venues, 40 artists, a technology panel, a comedy night, sold out 1,000-person shows, and after parties, it’s safe to say that Slingshot Festival 2014 was a success. With the numerous acts and artists, it’s difficult to summarize, but we’ll hit some of the highlights of the…
RAW Natural Born Artist: PIXELS at Terminal West: Music
I’m not sure if everyone at Terminal West Wednesday night was prepared for the amalgamation of creativity that was to take place inside the brick walls of the former steel foundry, but I know I certainly wasn’t. Courtesy of RAW Natural Born Artists, an international organization that connects artists of all kinds, the Pixels showcase…
