The Explosions In The Sky show at The Variety Playhouse on April 13th has Sold Out. If you did not heed our warnings, you are still in luck. They have added another EITS show that same day at 4:30pm at The Variety Playhouse. Go here and buy tickets.

The free SoCo Music Experience thing that took place in Centennial Place last year is happening again on May 17th with Queens Of the Stone Age, Ghostland Observatory, Supersuckers, Bang Camaro, and Ryan Shaw.

I have been trying to catch a Liars show unsuccessfully for some time now, but I think I will finally get my chance as they are opening for Radiohead at the Atlanta show. That show is gonna be sick.

Tomorrow night there are two stellar shows that Ohmpark will be splitting up to catch. First there’s Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks with John Vanderslice opening at The Variety Playhouse. Then there ‘s new-hypes-on-the-block The Dodos, fellow SXSW act Silje Nes, and Atlanta badasses The Liverhearts at Lenny’s.

Thursday night my picks of the night are at Lenny’s featuring Battlecat, Thy Mighty Contract, Gold Painted Nails, Chopper, and Lay Down Mains and at the Drunken Unicorn featuring Ahleuchatistas, Sorry No Ferrari, and 13 Day Mission. Either one of those will be a winner.

Friday night I’m picking The Earl show with Silent Kids, Luigi (their last show for who knows how long), and The Preakness as the place to be. Saturday at the Drunken Unicorn starting at 4pm is the WREK 91.1 FM 40th anniversary party featuring all sorts of ATL bands.

The Dodos : Paint The Rust

Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks : Gardenia

Liars : Sailing to Byzantium

Silent Kids : Neptunist’s Revenge

Ahleuchatistas : K-Bit
