Hey y'all, I'm taking some much-needed R&R for the next few weeks. I know a coupla' other TDJ'ers will be around working some, so I doubt the site will be completely inactive till then, but wanted to do a comprehensive listing before I left. Looking forward to 2008, f'reals...
WED: Jay Gonzalez plays what I'm assuming is his last gig at Kingpin's this year. Playing the hits for you. Requests taken. Hey, if I'm still around, I'll likely end up there.
THURS: Sleepy Horses perform at the Caledonia. Meanwhile, Kenosha Kid is performing at the Melting Point with John Neff sitting in.
FRI: Local rock stalwarts Honey and Lona perform at the 40 Watt. Hope For Agoldensummer celebrate their new album with a show at Flicker. Madeline's also on the bill. In addition, a couple of infrequently-performing Jolly Beggars' side projects, A. Che Why and The Noogeez, perform at Go Bar.
Also, in an interesting line-up, Love Tractor, John Keane, and a whole bunch of others play at the Georgia Theatre. Even former UGA kicker Billy Bennett (who engineered the first Whigs album, I believe).
SAT: For those still hanging around, Timber will perform at Tasty World and Bitch Switch will host a holiday party at Little Kings.
TUES (MERRY CHRISTMAS!)
WED (12/26): Jay Gonzalez is listed as playing Kingpin's again, but I'm betting it's a misprint... after all, it is the day after Christmas. Jay?
SAT (12/29): Garbage Island, Mother Jackson, Diet Rockstar, and Elite The Showstoppa (is there such thing as experimental rap?) all perform at the 40 Watt.
SUN (12/30): Former Athenians The Diamond Center perform at Transmet.
MON (12/31): As usual, the 40 Watt hosts its New Year's Eve party with the Krush Girls DJ'ing. There's also some shake-ass going on at Mercury Lounge with DJ Mahogany and DJ Baby Pandas.
Just wanna listen? Yeah, me too (I'm old, after all). Well, the completely awesome cover band Heavy Petty'll be at the Caledonia that night as well. Good getting drunk music. With them will be the Diamond Center in their second return-to-Athens performance.
Finally, haven't heard what's going on at the Squirrel that night, so watch Mercer's page for more info, I'm sure.
TUES (HAPPY NEW YEAR!): Go Dawgs!
FRI (1/4): Pride Parade returns to the Caledonia to perform material from their newly-finished forthcoming LP. Trust me, it kicks ass. The Dumps and several other loud acts are on the bill. Not sure the order they're all playing in.
There's also Bloodkin at the 40 Watt, Gemini Cricket at Flicker, and Betsy Franck & The Bareknuckle Band at Tasty World.
SAT (1/5): Hip-hop fans'll appreciate the lineup at the Caledonia with Bear, Son 1, and DJ Killacut amongst others.
Let me know what I've left out in the comments. I may ammend/update/repost as this post disappears over the next couple of weeks.
Hope y'all have a great Christmas and New Years and whatnot. See y'all back in 2008.
