An Atlanta Mp3 Trilogy (Gringo Star, All The Saints, Tealights)
Gringo Star @ Corndogorama 2008
Gringo Star released their debut full-length All Y’all yesterday, but I can’t seem to find a single place online to purchase it. Luckily I went to their record release show and snagged a copy there. I was curious about what direction their sound would go in post-A Fir-Ju Well, their former namesake. All Y’all sees them give up a bit of their psychedelia for a more in-fashion garage rock sound. I certainly don’t prefer that trend, but they pull it off so well that I can’t complain. Check it:
All The Saints @ The Earl (6/7/08)
All The Saints‘ debut album, Fire On Corrridor X has been released on their new label, Touch and Go. I already discussed this album earlier, but it is one of my favourite albums to come out of Atlanta all year so I figure it is worth revisiting. Some local publications around here have complained about Ben H. Allen’s production on this thing, but I think the production is one of the primary reasons this record stands out to me. I know that many other Atlanta bands have never heard of dynamics, but that’s a bad thing. I’m about to grab this one on vinyl and recommend you do the same:

Tealights @ Drunken Unicorn (10/9/08)
Tealights is the new project for three of the four members of the now defunct One Hand Loves The Other. I caught them live opening for Evangelicals and I thought they sounded great. They recently added Sorry No Ferrari guitarist Brett Kelly on drums, so I can’t wait to see how that sounds. They’ve posted some demos on their myspace, and while they are probably more sketches than finished products, they reveal a ton of potential from a new band figuring out their sound. Here’s my favourite so far:
