Live Review: Dungen, Woods, Twin Tigers @ The Earl (8/19/09)
Dungen via my cellphone camera.
I headed out to this show by myself, as I often do, and arrived way too early. Instead of lurking around in the nearly empty venue, I went outside and chilled out on a bench in the middle of the Village while a record store nearby blasted some down-tempo jazz. In Atlanta, we’re always pushing hard to the next party, show or responsibility, so it’s a nice treat to just sit back and enjoy the summer breeze on a beautiful August night. At least for a few brief moments anyways, then it’s back to how we do.
I made it back inside just in time for the beginning of Twin Tigers‘ set. This was my third time catching them live, but my two previous occasions were abridged Corndogorama sets, so I was looking forward to finally seeing them play for longer than 15 minutes. They absolutely did not disappoint, and I can’t think of a band from Athens I’m loving more right now. They cast a powerful, yet beautiful blanket of sound that just envelops an audience. If this band can produce some more fantastic studio work building on what they laid out in last year’s way underrated EP, Curious Faces / Violent Future, this band is going to be one of the premiere “Nu-Gaze” acts in the southeast right up there with bands like Deerhunter and Summerbirds In The Cellar. It’s a good thing they have a new full-length coming soon. Click here to read the entire post…
