FRI: Firstly, y'all need to get your butts over to Herty Field (North Campus) to hear Venice Is Sinking perform at 12 Noon outdoors as part of a UGA sponsored show. Not sure how those pale folks'll fare in the midday heat, but maybe there'll be some clouds? Anyway, university gig, way to go!
A few hours afterwards, Russian Spy Camera'll be on WUGA's (91.7's) "It's Friday". And if you miss 'em there or simply want more, they'll be down at Go Bar later tonight.
Meanwhile, the pop combo of Ham 1, Mandy Jane & The Jaws Of Life, and the new experimental-sounding act Druid City perform at the Caledonia. More on the latter here (Julien, btw, is a helluva nice guy). And if none of that's your cup of meat, then Kenosha Kid'll be keeping a jazzy beat over at the Mercury Lounge.
SAT: Yes, yes, yes... it's the triumphant return of the kings of heavy metal karaoke: Knight Seeker. They are bringing the hard rock to the Caledonia like only the can. They rock out totally perfectly to all the 80's-ish metal you love; you and your friends sing the lyrics (which are projected on a screen). More than one celebrity guest has shown up in the past... it's just an awesome event. Have a few drinks beforehand.
Of course, I understand that's not for everyone... so you can also see Of Montreal returning from Public Nudity Tour '07 to play at the 40 Watt (more here), Audition With Max Reinhardt playing another show at the Go Bar while Sunni's in town, Birds & Wire at Nuci's Space, and Kenosha Kid once again down at the Mercury Lounge.
Finally, there's a coupla' new acts performing (one debuting) tonight as well over at Little Kings: Diego Catalan and The Diamond Center - the former featuring Jim Wilson (of Mother Jackson, Goat) performing some of his own songs with an all-star lineup, the latter featuring former members of Sleepy Horses and Brown Frown. Should be good stuff. The famed Mother Jackson Micro-Orchestra performs as well. More here.
