This Weekend In Athens

If we make it through December...

FRI: Seems like local musicians are getting a head start on the December lull tonight. There is another round of the UGA Symphony's Holiday Concert at Hodgson Hall. Other than that, really, you're on your own here. Suggestions, anyone?


SAT: The 40 Watt hosts "Underneath the Covers II" - a benefit show for AIDS relief. Patterson Hood's doing Springsteen, Deaf Judges and Pegasuses-XL will be the Beasties, Still, Small Voice & the Joyful Noise are Elvis Costello & the Attractions, The High Caliber as the Jesus & Mary Chain, and Dead Confederate as Sonic Youth. Sounds like a fun show.

Meanwhile, over at the Caledonia, Goat release their newest CD, I Got the Recollection of the Blood of the Lamb. I haven't heard one song from it, so I couldn't tell ya' how it sounds, but hopefully good. Man, Don Chambers, Japancakes, Hope For Agoldensummer, and Pylon all releasing CD's within a few weeks of each other - what year is this? Ham 1 opens the show (they also have a new CD recently, I believe).

And for people who like really old R&B performers, "The Coasters", "The Platters", and some dudes from "The Temptations" (all quotations indicate that I have no idea which lineups of these groups it'll be) will be at the Classic Center.

Also: Christopher's Liver at Go Bar, Sweet Tooth Simpleton & The Simpletones as well as Timber at Little Kings, Redneck GReece Delux at Loco's new Timothy Road location for a very early annual Christmas benefit/party (9PM), and Five-Eight at the Melting Point. Man, why couldn't any of y'all play on Friday?


SUN: Rorshak releases a new album as well entitled Ghost of Frankenstein Rhyme. To celebrate, he's performing at the Secret Squirrel with Pegasuses-XL, Elite tha Showstoppa, and Christopher's Liver.
