2007's one quarter over with...
FRI: The crunkest of the crunk, the Ying-Yang Twins, descend on UGA's Georgia Hall (basement of the Tate Center) as the climax to the "Week of Soul" events. The Student Union's always dropped a pretty penny on the artists for this event annually. This year's no exception, I'm sure. More here. Get it crunk!
Earlier in the day on that very same campus - but in a different locale - Tin Cup Prophette'll playing at noon at Herty Field (by the fountain on North Campus). I'm sure she's not charging as much. Fact, show's free.
Fans of Kincaid will wanna check out Welterweight at the Caledonia tonight. I didn't seem 'em last time they played, but it's got two ex-Kincaid-ers in it, so can't be too shabby, right? And attention punk rockers: Guff, The Dumps, and Thunder Chief will all be representin' at Tasty World (Upstairs) tonight as well.
Finally, if you just wanna dance, check out Bitch Switch at Detour or DJ Mahogany at Go Bar.
SAT: Now It's Overhead and Venice Is Sinking fill the 40 Watt with all sortsa sonic goodness. They've both put out some of the best sounding work in this town lately - try the CD's with headphones on. Both deliver very well live too. Won't be a disappointment, I'm sure.
For those who like their old-timey with a little hardcore ethic (I don't), Old Crow Medicine Show will be at the Georgia Theatre. If rap's more your thing, there's the "Battle At The Lounge" featuring Elite Tha Showstoppa and a buncha other emcees I know precious little about all at the Caledonia all night long.
And a coupla' talented DJ's... the homegrown DJ Mahogany plays again, this time at Little Kings, while Canada's Kid Koala spins at Tasty World. You alternative rockers may remember him opening for Radiohead on one tour that swang through here way back when. More here.
SUN: "Andrew Reissiger's Going Away All-Star Jam" takes place at Farm 255. Yup, the Dromedary member heads cross country, so this is a fond farewell featuring your favorite (really, their favorite) world musicians from all around Athens. Talented lineup, no doubt. Best of luck, Andrew!
