Free Download: Twin Tigers – “Automatic” EP

One of my favourite Athens bands right now, Twin Tigers, just released a digital EP for free today. Not only is it really good, but they are also planning on releasing their first full-length, titled Gray Waves, early next year. They are currently on tour with Minus The Bear and will be playing a stacked show at the 40 Watt in Athens next week with both MTB and The Antlers. Here’s the title track from the EP, and you can click the link below to pick up all 4 songs:

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.

Corndogorama 2009: Sunday (Day 2)

I made my way into the festival to grab some breakfast, and then caught the end of The Slackey Family, who weren’t very memorable. As soon as that ended, This Piano Plays Itself unleashed a sonic assault that brought most of the sparse festival crowd over to witness. Their set was only comprised of two newer songs, but they were probably each about ten minutes long. This was the first show with Doug from the now defunct Athens band Kebert Xela in the lineup, and this new 5-piece incarnation was blissful controlled chaos.

Next up were two bands that would broadly fit in the genre of 90′s Frat Rock. I would guess these bands would kill it in Buckhead, but totally weak sauce for Corndogorama.

Niagra Mohawk:

Then Today The Moon, Tomorrow The Sun (someone needs to coin a short, catchy nickname for this band) took the main stage and played a stunningly compelling set, as they always do. It is hard for me to think of another young band in this city that combines accessibility with more talent than these guys and gals. I definitely wish this set would have been longer.
