This Spring Break In Athens

Yup, that time a year again. Time for keg-stands and funnels and whippits and Kilo and... hell, I'm showing my age...

FRI: Philadelphia's Pattern Is Movement drops into town on tour. They're at the Caledonia. Locals (and big time fans) We Versus The Shark and Cinemechanica play as well.

A much softer show can be had at Flicker earlier on with Heather Heyn and Andy From Denver (the dude from M Coast) playing, obviously, their solo material. It is Flicker after all.



SAT: Semi-local hardcore-awesome band Harvey Milk plays the Caledonia with the Melvins' Joe Preston in on bass. Really, I know this gets said about a lot of bands, but if you haven't heard Harvey Milk live, you really can't get the feel on the records. Very, very worth seeing. In addition, Pride Parade's playing on that bill as well, with a new album in the can and plenty of new material to play. Great show for fans of loud.

There's also Sweet-Tooth Simpleton at Flicker.

Oh, and there's some seriously late night shows at The Secret Squirrel both Friday and Saturday night with a buncha bands stopping through on their way to SXSW. Check the above link for more info.


SUN: A. Armada and new punk-ish act The Jack Burton perform at Transmet.


MON: Page Campbell will be playing solo material at Flicker.


WED: Semi-local rock act The Brothers Gore perform at Flicker. They just befriended us on Myspace, and I really dug what I heard there. Venice Is Sinking is listed in F'pole's listing for this show, but I think that's a misprint, as I think their residency skips this week and continues on next week.



THURS: Birds & Wire host a CD release show at the Caledonia. Meanwhile, Jay Gonzalez plays his new Thursday night slot at Kingpin's. And Rob Veal's at Tasty World, unfortunately now timing up with Jay's show twice in a row.


SAT (3/15) - Happy Ides! I got nuthin'!

That's it y'all. I'm out to the left coast till next weekend. Advertise what I missed in the comments. Be back on St. Pat's with new posts.
