[Video] A Fight To The Death: “Grant Park” IndieATL Session
The new A Fight To The Death record, Gesture Of A Gentleman, is the most impressive release yet from a very talented Atlanta outfit. Their world-spanning collection of antique aesthetics is a bit far out of my taste range, but the music is so good that I can still thoroughly enjoy it. They will be at The Earl Saturday, and here is a video of them performing at Georgia State’s Digital Arts Entertainment Lab:

Atlanta Music Genome
I noticed this last week on Noot d’ Noot‘s blog and thought that it was very cool:
Jah Scorp has been working on an ATL Genome for some time now, and Mark from Quadiliacha has realized his vision with this fully interactive graph. See how it all ties together HERE.
Make sure to go to fullscreen mode, it’s much easier to use. It’s scope is a bit limited, but it also has way too many bands I had never heard of before. I did a little google research and found the blog of the person who made this genome. You should check it out. You can see an earlier version of the genome here.
I’m sure this isn’t a phenomenon unique to Atlanta, but we sure do have a ton of musicians who were in a ton of different bands with each other. It’s great to see someone putting all that data together. Right before Have You Heard stopped operating, Cj from A Fight To The Death had begun working on his own Atlanta music genome. He did a good podcast breaking down the family tree of The Goldest that you should listen to here. All of this makes me realize I need to have much more content digging into the history of Atlanta’s music scene, so I need to go do some research.

Corndogorama 2009: Sunday (Day 2)
All photos by Clint Miller
I made my way into the festival to grab some breakfast, and then caught the end of The Slackey Family, who weren’t very memorable. As soon as that ended, This Piano Plays Itself unleashed a sonic assault that brought most of the sparse festival crowd over to witness. Their set was only comprised of two newer songs, but they were probably each about ten minutes long. This was the first show with Doug from the now defunct Athens band Kebert Xela in the lineup, and this new 5-piece incarnation was blissful controlled chaos.
Next up were two bands that would broadly fit in the genre of 90′s Frat Rock. I would guess these bands would kill it in Buckhead, but totally weak sauce for Corndogorama.
Get Small:
Niagra Mohawk:
Then Today The Moon, Tomorrow The Sun (someone needs to coin a short, catchy nickname for this band) took the main stage and played a stunningly compelling set, as they always do. It is hard for me to think of another young band in this city that combines accessibility with more talent than these guys and gals. I definitely wish this set would have been longer.
