What Up In The ATL?

Tight Brothers Network, who has been "the official talent purchaser" booking shows at The Drunken Unicorn has become a free agent. It looks like that means that Gavin from Stickfigure will be taking his place booking shows for The Drunken Unicorn and Tight Brothers will be doing things in other venues TBA.

Snowden are on the road.

Altanta's Foxfire just released a new album called Early Rising.

When Rocky Beat The Russian just released an EP called Reason Your Way Out.

Nomen Novum released a new song called "Green Greener Greenest" available on their myspace.

Slow Motion Crash is going on a "semi-permanent hiatus" and will be playing their last show June 7th at The Five Spot.

WRAS 88.5 FM, Georgia State's awesome student radio station, just announced their 2008 awards.

Here's Club Of Rome at The Beep Beep Gallery:




Wednesday night New York's Northern State is going to be at The Earl. They toured with Tegan And Sara and they have a similar upbeat, "girl-rock" sound. Here's a video:



Thursday night I recommend checking out Efterklang and Slaraffenland (both from Denmark) at the Drunken Unicorn with Atlanta's Sleep Therapy. A Efterklang video:



Friday night there are some interesting artists paired up with some not so interesting artists:

Center Stage: The good: Type O Negative, The not-so-good: Hatebreed
Variety Playhouse: The good: Be Your Own Pet, the not-so-good: She Wants Revenge
Fox Theatre: The good: The Roots, the not-so-good: Erykah Badu

Also there is a The Roots after party at MJQ following the show featuring ?uestlove DJ set and a listening party for their new album Rising Down and The Presidents Of The United States Of America will be at The Loft. Or you could just keep it local and catch The Coathangers, Proton, and Groovestain at The Drunken Unicorn.

Saturday night I like the show at Eyedrum with Sonn Av Krusher, The Forever War, Mistaken For Them, and The Khans (US).

Sunday night gives you two great choices between Clinic at The Earl or Silver Mt. Zion (featuring members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor) at The Drunken Unicorn.

what the fuck does semi-permanent hiatus mean anyway? Either it's permanent or it's not, and hiatus means a break which means you will come back from that break. What is a permanent break?

This was a dope run-down. I wish I had remembered to check this before.
