An Atlanta Mp3 Trilogy: Sound On Film, Noot d’ Noot, Adron


Sound On Film @ Drunken Unicorn (6/30/09)

As I continue to dig deep through the Atlanta underground music scene looking for something new, I’m perpetually surprised that the well never seems to go dry. Just when I think everybody in this town doing something special is on my radar, I discover yet another fantastic artist. The newest gem in the rough that I believe is going to blow everyone in this town away in the coming years is Sound On Film. I’ve caught two live shows so far, both of which were extremely impressive, and I’ve just grabbed a copy of their new record, The Eloquent Reginald, and I can’t stop listening to it. Sound On Film‘s potential seems boundless, as they are barely out of high school, and at such a young age they seem more capable and talented then most veteran local bands. You can download their 5 song record below for free, so get on the bandwagon now before everyone else does:

Noot d’ Noot @ Corndogorama 2009

After catching Noot d’ Noot‘s triumphant Corndogorama performance this year, I picked up a copy of their newest release, Cash For Gold, and have been jamming it hard ever since. While I’ve warmed up to it over time, Goofer Dust was just a bit too abstract and ambling for me to really get into, but Cash For Gold seems to synthesize the best parts of their previous jazzier studio work with the brilliance of their funky live performances, resulting in a perfect, best of both worlds blend. On top of the actual music being top-notch, the packaging to the record includes plenty of fun extras, so go pick it up:

Adron @ Star Bar (6/25/09)

Adrienne McCann popped on my radar a while ago, but after a casual listen to a song or two, I had unfairly wrote her off as as just another ordinary local singer/songwriter, of which this town is filled to brim with. Once she had left us ATLiens behind in search of glory in New York, I didn’t think to check her out again until I heard recently that she was mulling over returning to the dirty south. I downloaded a copy of her new EP, Burdwurld, which she is giving away for free, and now I finally see what all the buzz was about. This city loves to get behind a pretty face regardless, or more often, in spite of actual talent or musicianship, but Adron most definitely has the artistic goods to back it up.

It’s become clear that I’m not going to get very much more blogging done until I get back to Atlanta and have had some time to rest up, so consider it summer break around here at Ohmpark.

What Up In The ATL?

Lots and lots of great shows this week. Friday and Saturday night the We No Fun compilation party is going down at The Drunken Unicorn. Thursday night the Band Together 2009, a benefit for Refugee Family Services, is happening at The Earl. We sponsored 2007′s event and their headliner this year, Louisiana’s Brass Bed, killed it at a house show we did a year ago so I highly recommend that. Also, I left off M83 at the Civic Center Friday night because it is sold out and I could never actually recommend seeing the terrible band that is headlining. See you out in the city!
