Live Review: Stickfigure Distribution January 2008 Showcase
Last week I caught two of the four nights in a row of Stickfigure at The Drunken Unicorn. If you are somehow unfamiliar with Stickfigure, they have been an Atlanta underground music institution since 1992 and consistently put out Atlanta’s most interesting independent releases. Wednesday night I got there just in time to catch most of Big Penguin. They were doing the power duo thrash punk thing and it was cool:
Next up was Zandosis. They were a serious noise-jam band beating on weird instruments and using lots of feedback. I thought it was decent, but as much as I like noise, I think it was a little over the top for me.
I had just recently discovered Sorry No Ferrari, so I was excited to catch them again. I’m a sucker for straight-up post-rock instrumental bands, and so far I think they are the best of this sort of thing I’ve heard in Atlanta. They really rocked out hard for this one:

DIY Nation: I Can Fly House
As the Web 2.0 and D.I.Y. culture in America continues to grow and flourish, this new series will take a look at certain parts of this phenomenon. House parties are a foundation to any good music scene and Atlanta has plenty of houses hosting such events. Last Wednesday night we went to one in our own neighborhood of Home Park. The show was completely free and they were relying on donations from the crowd to give the bands some money. Attendees drinking either brought beer or went down to the local bar to buy beers between sets like we did. There was a rather large crowd of folks for a Wednesday night show that seemed to be the perfect size for this venue. I discovered two really cool bands. Sorry No Ferrari is a local band that does instrumental post-rock sort of jams:
Sorry No Ferrari : Native American Idiot
Sorry No Ferrari : HRSBRG Demo
The other band that I caught was Charlottesville, Virginia’s Worn In Red. They were more on the metal/punk spectrum but had some great jams:
Worn In Red : Moments Without
