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

Well, it's an outta-town game, but the in-town bands still aren't coming out in droves per se...


FRI: Ham 1 performs at the 40 Watt in celebration of its new album The Captain's Table. Also, this is just ahead of their tour with Vic Chesnutt and Liz Durrett.

There's also Birds & Wire at the Melting Point or earlier on there's Push! at Flicker.


SAT: Ohio's Magnolia Electric Co. comes to rock the 40 Watt, who've hosted several good outta-towners lately. Good to see.

There's also a rare occurrence at the Georgia Theatre where you can see Contraband open a show, the another band who I'm not familiar with plays a show, then Ninjaband closes the show. That's right, two video-game-winning math rock performances for the price of one. Totally awesome.

Later, you can catch Bitch Switch at Little Kings if you're in the mood to shake ass. Or, before all that, Timber will be at Schoolkids Records at around 4 PM.


SUN: There's actually two good Sunday shows. Who'd've thunk it? Anyway, for the folks with loud, loud tastes, the Dumps will be at Transmetropolitan.

Meanwhile, over at the secret squirrel, DJ Mahogany will be spinning after a performance by The Lickity Splits.
