This Weekend In Athens
FRI: The
Team Clermont Summer Festival continues tonight in two locations. First, there's a happy hour show at the
Caledonia featuring
Alina Simone,
Summer Hymns, and
The Folk Yous. Then, starting at 10 PM at the
40 Watt, you can see
Castanets and
Phosphorescent (playing a set together),
Cinemechanica,
Arizona, and
A Northern Chorus. If you're there, say hey to Lucas. Much more of course can be found
here.
Before all that, you can catch
Fabulous Bird on
WUGA's (91.7)
"It's Friday" radio show starting at 4PM. There's also a coupla' late night dance options - either
Bitch Switch at
Little Kings, or the
Krush Girls at
Detour. Up to you, really.
SAT: You guessed it - more
Team Clermont. The activities actually span the day. Starting at the ugly hour of 11 AM (what are we - animals?!?), you can go to
East Athens Community Park to see
Calvin Johnson do a solo performance during a kickball game. I don't really know anything about Calvin Johnson - but are we sure about this, y'all? Seriously? Read more about it
here.
Anyway, when you're done with that weird stuff, the
Go Bar's hosting a free afternoon show with
Benjy Ferree and
Abra Moore who I also know nothing about. So, yeah, it could be weird too. Not sure, but it doesn't involve 11 AM or kickball.
Finally, the night brings the annual
Team Clermont Prom at the
40 Watt (not to be confused with whatever MMJ pulled earlier this year). Tonight's prom features
Bobby Conn and
Twin Powers and you can read much more about all these goings on
here. Seriously, make Lucas happy. Go.
SUN: Tired yet? Good cause all day long is the
Wynburn Blvd Fest featuring a buncha folks you can read more about
here. One act is
Dark Meat who is performing The Stooges'
Fun House in much smaller numbers. Here's the schedule:
Stereo Campbell (12 p.m.),
Matt "Pistol" Stoessel (12:45 p.m.),
Diet Echo (1:25 p.m.),
Honey (2:15 p.m.),
Mikey Dwyer & the Starter Kits (3 p.m.),
The Ginger Envelope (3:50 p.m.),
Ryan Hetrick (4:50 p.m.),
Sleepy Horses (5:20 p.m.),
Still, Small Voice & the Joyful Noise (6:10 p.m.),
Mother Jackson (7 p.m.),
Dead Confederate (7:50 p.m.)
Deaf Judges (8:40 p.m.),
Dark Meat (9:15 p.m.)
Bring some money with you to donate to Nuci's for this fest. Well worth it.
Then, that night, there's an afterparty for the
Classic City Rollergirls Derby over at
Kingpins.
Nutria and
Heavy Petty are possible performers, but F'pole's not sayin' for sure. Anyone got the scoop?
