What Up In The ATL?
Atlanta’s From Exile have re-released their epic 2006 debut full-length album Crushing Reality for FREE right now at their website. I highly recommend going and getting that because it really is such a great album. From Exile are currently in the studio recording their newest record which should be out later this year. Also, stop by their myspace.
Another Ohmpark favourite band, Moorish Idols, has gone on a hiatus of sorts to shift their focus on David Norbery’s newest project, Nomem Novum. Nomem Novum will have a 7″ called Mantis Man out in March and a full-length to follow in November. You can check out the great new tunes at the myspace. There are a handful of shows coming up that you should check out:

Last week we talked about the new Slushco album, When I Met The Boss Of Nova, being released. Apparently there were some technical issues with CDBaby where it was released digitally, but you can now go purchase the new album here. While I was waiting for that, I finally bought a copy of the self-titled album and it is really awesome. I’m on a heavy Slushco kick right now, but I’ll have more on that in a few days.
Tonight there a couple hippy friendly shows. The Greyboy Allstars will be at Smith’s Old Bar and I’ll be going to The Tabernacle to catch Ween again.
Tomorrow there a few great shows. I’m way stoked about the Super Furry Animals, Fiery Furnaces, Holy Fuck show at The Variety Playhouse. At the Earl, you can catch High On Fire and A Life Once Lost. At The Starbar you can catch Scott H Biram.
Thursday night you can go see Zoroaster at the Drunken Unicorn or Brass Castle and Undomskulen at The Earl.
Friday night you can check out many of what I call the “nu-Black Lips” Atlanta bands such as The Howlies, The NEC, and Thee Crucials.
Saturday night The Earl has yet another awesome show with Rizzudo and The Liverhearts:
