This Weekend In Athens
- posted by Mail Clerk @ 1:29 AM | Permanent Link

FRI: Lotsa big shows around tonight. I'm gonna start with the free one: The Black Lips headline the 40 Watt with The Selmanaires (from the ATL) and Athens' own Pride Parade, who are awesome. It's free, it'll be packed so get there early.

I know some people here were excited about seeing Girl Talk at the Georgia Theatre as well. Pegasuses-XL opens for them and there's a pre-show party at the Rye Bar with some sort of surprise guest DJ.

Also, the Gourds are at the Melting Point and Atlanta's Young Joc is at UGA's Legion Field, but I'm pretty sure that show's sold out.


SAT: Elf Power has the official release show for their newest album, In A Cave, at the 40 Watt. All part of an extended tour they're on. Supporting them on this bill are Ham 1, Madeline, and several other acts.

There's also a cool outdoor show at Farm 255 with Little Country Giants and new residents of Washington Street Venice Is Sinking. (UPDATE: Lucas says VIS isn't playing this show... F'pole had listed it as such. Little Country Giants are playing though.)

Meanwhile, there's a hip-hop line up at the Caledonia with Elite Tha Showstoppa, Son 1 and other folks.

And on that same block at nearly the same time as all that you can see Producto and Don Chambers, amongst others, at Flicker.


SUN: Madeline performs for a second time this weekend at the Melting Point with William Tonks and Austin act The Greencards.
