This Weekend In Athens

Let's get delirious...


FRI: Nutria kicks your Twilight weekend off right tonight, performing a special happy hour show at the Caledonia. Doors at 6, and I imagine they'll start playing shortly after that. Should be a blast.

Later in the night, the Drive-By Truckers play their first of two "Dirt Underneath Tour" shows in Athens at the Georgia Theatre. These are special acoustic shows meant to highlight very old and very new material. You already know if you're going, though, cause it's sold out. More here.

There's also the Dexateens at the 40 Watt, The Dumps and The Renegadez at Tasty World, Kenosha Kid at Mercury Lounge, and Bitch Switch at Go Bar.


SAT: After (or during part of?) the races, let the Delirium begin! The something-th annual Twilight Delirium takes place at the Caledonia featuring (who else?) Je Suis France triumphantly rocking their new full-length Afrikan Majik. Can you say hammin' & jammin'? Throw in Excalibrah and Flip Scoldjah into the mix (and doubtless scores of other fantasy football league-ers) and you've got the most rockin' inside joke ever. It's like it's its own afterparty. If you've never been, come dig! More here.

Also up for the night, the Truckers play the second Dirt Underneath show at the Georgia Theatre and again you'll know if you're going by the fact that you would have already bought tickets. Meanwhile, down at the 40 Watt, Cinemechanica and Summerbirds In The Cellar perform. And over at Go Bar, you can catch Titans of Filth.

Twilight rules. I just hope they bring back the funnel cakes this year.
