Underground Hottlanta: The Hijacking Music Collective
Miles From Pangea
One of the many things I love about the Atlanta music scene is the sense of community that is very prevalent between artists, and everyone else associated with it. It is common around here for bands who share a vision to come together and help each other promote themselves and record and things like that. Industrial Strength Promotions is great example of this.
Recently I became aware of one such conglomerate called “Hijacking Music”. It consists of 3 new and talented bands including 13 Day Mission (ATL), Beatrix Kiddo (Athens), and Miles From Pangea (Marietta). All three are instrumental groups that I would consider in the greater realm of post-rock and everything I’ve heard from them shows a ton of promise and potential. They have a recording studio they use called the “O Zone Lair” and they even have a blog: O Team Press. Give them a listen:
13 Day Mission : Eat All Speaking Canaries
13 Day Mission : El Spectaculare
Beatrix Kiddo : Lena
Beatrix Kiddo : Dominique Dawes
Miles From Pangea : Blackwater Pond
Miles From Pangea : Crimson Sky
In terms of official releases, so far there is only 13 Day Mission’s EP from last year, Ex Incendia Libertas, which I have been jamming out constantly over the last couple weeks, and it is available for free at their myspace. I highly recommend you go pick that up. Also, this Friday night, you can catch all three bands at 11:11 Teahouse with me for what looks to be a pretty awesome night of music and art:
