What Up In The ATL?
Gringo Star‘s newest video got up on the ‘fork this week:
Back when they used to be called A Fir-Ju Well, they lived over in my ‘hood and have been one of the very first ATL bands I really got into. Their 2005 Absolutely is truly an amazing album that is an essential for ITP folks. I can’t wait for the first proper Gringo Star record which should finally be out this year because these guys deserve to blow up. March 6th be sure to check out their 7″ release party at The Earl.
A Fir-Ju Well : No Man
A Fir-Ju Well : Together
Tonight the big show is Liars and No Age at The Earl (two bands whose albums made our top 50 2007 lists).
Tomorrow The Earl has another great show with this year’s blog bands, Black Mountain and Blood on The Wall. I’ve been enjoying the Black Mountain album and didn’t really like the new Blood On The Wall upon my first listen.
Black Mountain : Evil Ways
Also Friday night is The Howlies at Star Bar and Victor Wooten at The Variety Playhouse.
Saturday seem to offer some great house parties I plan on hitting up. Early in the afternoon you can go to East Atlanta and hit up Rob’s House. The festivities:
keg taping – 3pm
westend motel – 330pm
bobby and the soft spots – 430pm
subsonics – 530pm
Then there is this with Dirty Projector‘s Nat Baldwin:
Monday night you should check out this:
Dead Meadow : What Needs Must Be
Then on Tuesday is the Atlas Sound show at the Drunken Unicorn on the day his first proper album drops. I’m pretty stoked about it. And next Wednesday The Selmanaires and The Coathangers are doing a 7″ release show at The Earl before they each head out in separate directions on tour and meet back up at SXSW.
