You're nobody till somebody loves you...
FRI: Five-Eight, Hope For Agoldensummer, and Lake City all perform at the 40 Watt as part of the annual Mental Health Benefit. Certainly a worthwhile cause and given how crazy things've been lately, well-timed.
You can also catch Pegasuses-XL and relative newcomers The Buddy System (Ryan Lewis' new band) at the Go Bar.
For a more relaxed time in an atmosphere that serves food and/or brings the booze directly to you, there's Bob Hay & The Jolly Beggars at the Melting Point.
Finally, DJ Mahogany will be kicking out the jams at Little Kings.
SAT: You would think in a week filled with new DBT and Whigs albums that one of those would take the cake for exciting things happening in Athens. And while those are both solid releases by bands who have become increasingly exciting to see live and have managed to up their game on those albums, I'm most excited about seeing the full electric debut of The Arcs at the Caledonia. Let's just put it this way: Ceiling Fan + Possibilities + Wydelles = Awesome. If you like rock n' roll, you'll like it. I cannot wait. They open the show for David Barbe & The Quick Hooks who y'all all already know, I hope.
This is not to dissuade folks from seeing The Whigs and The Ginger Envelope at the 40 Watt next door. I mean, I'm sure that show'll be awesome (in re-reading that, it sounds like a sarcastic sentence - it's not). Plus, right up the street you can catch William Tonks at Flicker - and probably combine that show with either of the other two.
And if you didn't get enough dancin' the night before, DJ Mahogany'll be back out spinning at Farm 255 this time.
