FRI: Pride Parade finally releases their longtime-in-the-works debut LP, Descendants, tonight at the Caledonia. It's 11 tracks of heavy (well, mostly). Those familiar with their lives shows should know what to expect. Most of those songs have been staples in the set for a while now. Anyway, they're with A. Armada too.
Right next door, at the 40 Watt, you can catch Don Chambers with Producto. Both bands have relatively new material out now and Chambers is working on another new album due out this fall on WARM Recordings.
Y'all wanna dance? There's DJ Mahogany at Little Kings or Bitch Switch at Go Bar.
SAT: There's still a lot going on tonight, but it's all kinda spread out. There's Still, Small Voice & The Joyful Noise at the 40 Watt or the seemingly odd combo of Contraband at Allen's (but I guess burgers and video games are a natural combo), Pride Parade continuing their CD release weekend with an all ages show at Nuci's Space, or for pop fans there's Happy Happy Birthday To Me band Fishboy at the Caledonia with British Athens transplant Spring Tigers amongst others on that bill.
During the afternoon, there's something called the Athens Indie Craftstravaganzaa going on near Agora. Not sure all about it, but you can see Summer Hymns at 4:30 PM and DJ Kurt Wood's spinning in between sets all afternoon. There's more info here.
Finally, both Friday and Saturday nights you can see the Athens Symphony Orchestra's 2008 Pops Concert at the Classic Center for free starting at 8 PM. Bring your own picnic or buy one there.
SUN: Betsy Franck will be at Farm 255 continuing their Sunday night shows. There's also a party at the Squirrel with Mouser and othere.
Labels: Tonight In Athens
