Harvest Of Hope Festival Day 3/Wrap-Up


Tokyo Police Club

Day three started just like day two, early and very hot. By this time I was already very sunburnt, perpetually hungover for days, and tired, but it was time to march on. Summerbirds In The Cellar kicked off the day with a set that started before noon. Hardly 15 people were there at the beginning, but by the time they left the stage the field was packed. It was great to finally hear this band on a good quality sound system. I have been hyping this Floridian band since I discovered them at Corndogorama last year, and I will continue to do so because they one of the best bands in the southeast US right now. They just floor me every time I hear them:

Monday Mash-Up

March is going to be a crazy month here at Ohmpark. This week, I’m heading down to South Florida to catch Langerado. As soon as i get back from that next week, I’m flying to Austin to catch SXSW. Before coming back from that, I’m heading out to Savannah for some post-St.Patrick’s Day partying. Between all of that, postings here may get a bit erratic, but barring uncooperative Internet or getting arrested for public intoxication, I should have some hardcore coverage of the events as they happen. As soon as all of that is over, we are going to begin working on an entirely new and different layout for the site that is going to be really cool. Thanks for reading Ohmpark, and spread the word!

The Morning State album, You Know People I Know People, that they had to re-record after issues with their former label is finally seeing a release date on May 3rd. Here’s the new single:

Morning State : You Know People I Know People : Oh Yeah

Outkast‘s Andre 3000 is planning on putting out a solo album this year.

Here’s The Shins:

For the Atlanta college kids like me, Summer 2007 is over. I went to some cool fests, saw some great shows, and had a fun time so I leave you with this today:

Grandaddy : Just Like The Fambly Cat : Summer…It’s Gone

Humpnight Random Tracks

So I’ve got some really good stuff I’ve been saving up for you here. Listen to the track and click the picture to find out more. First, Ohmpark favourites From Exile have remixed a song off of Crushing Reality, their stellar debut album from last year. They will be at Lenny’s on August 15th:

From Exile : Phantom (Illumination)

Here’s a track from another great Atlanta band, Morning State, who just release their first EP, Retreat !!!. This single was mixed by Ben Allen (Gnarls Barkley, Cee Lo, DangerDoom). I just saw these guys the other night at The Earl and they sounded great.

Morning State : Spectacular

Next up, VHS or Beta‘s Zeke Buck’s new project, People Noise. I’m really digging what I’ve heard so far. From Ordinary Ghosts:

People Noise : A Million Lives


The Pizzle just hipped me to Canadians Tokyo Police Club and I’ve been really liking it so far. They will be at Vinyl on August 2nd. Here’s a track from their 2006 debut album A Lesson In Crime.

Tokyo Police Club : Nature Of The Experiment

Last for today, Girl Talk (aka Greg Gillis) and Hearts Of Darknesses (aka Frank Musarra) have formed a band for “production, beat making, and remixes”. It’s called Trey Told ‘Em, a reference to Phish‘s Trey Anastasio judging from the pictures on their myspace page. So far they have only done a remix to a Tokyo Police Club song:
