This Weekend In Athens
- posted by Mail Clerk @ 12:00 AM | Permanent Link

Happy Birthday this weekend to Sarah, Hillary, and Tasty World (which opened right about the time I first came to Athens). Go Virgos...

FRI: Dark Meat makes Athens a tour stop on their recent string of tour dates. Hope this means the album's already recorded, but we'll see. I hope there's some new stuff at the show. They're playing with Long-Legged Woman at the 40 Watt, btw.

Meanwhile, next door at the Caledonia, Cinemechanica and Dead Confederate rock the stage. I thought that seemed like an odd pairing, but they're two competent bands who have a decent crowd around, so why not?

There's also Freeball at Tasty World as part of their 10th Anniversary celebration. Later that night, the Krush Girls is/are DJing upstairs. Or you can catch Kenosha Kid at Mercury Lounge. Or DJ Mahogany at Go Bar.

But before all or most of that, Casper & The Cookies will be performing at Flicker somewhere around 8:30 and WAY before all that, King Of Prussia will be playing UGA's Herty Field (right there in the middle of north campus at noon. They're pretty good, so it's a good lunch break idea for you University employees.


SAT (Go Dawgs!): Local MCs Bear and Elite Tha Showstoppa perform (amongst others) at the Caledonia as part of a big hip-hop night. I know I'm gonna catch hell for sayin' this, but not a lot else going on that night.
