The Rivalry Music Festival took over the Spring Valley Eco Farm on Friday. Here is a selection of shots from the action.
On Tuesday, Echo, the vegan restaurant that took over the Washington Street space recently vacated by Farm 255, opened for business. Among the questions surrounding the transition was whether the new restaurant would continue Farm's tradition of hosting late-night live music and, more specifically, whether the new owners would keep Mercer West, who has been responsible for assembling some of the most interesting bills in Athens over the past near-decade, on as talent buyer.
Oh, hello again. Here's another new music dump for your hump day listening pleasure.
Over at Green Room tonight, Atlanta rocker Tedo Stone kicks off a weekly September residency. Stone's well-worn Americana should appeal to fans of The District Attorneys and their This is American Music ilk.

Hometown heroes-turned-NY transplants Bambara celebrated the vinyl release of their sophomore LP DREAMVIOLENCE Friday at the Cake Shop in the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
Turning the Cake Shop into an impromptu UGA class reunion, the Bambara boys bought together a legion of Athenians and NY locals for a packed out headlining show, rounded out with support from Dusted, Rarechild and '80s post-punk revivalists Rituals.
After the jump, read the rest of the review, and check out a photo slideshow.
As new bars move into Normaltown, the Pizza Hut franchise in that neighborhood decided to pack up and move to Baxter Street, across from the UGA dorms (and right next to the Papa John's. Mediocre pizza wars, anyone?).
But the new location will offer more than pepperoni: it will also house a "listening room," where you can enjoy stripped-down live music every weekend, complete with beer and wine for sale, according to local musician Bruce Moshe Lutz, who is booking the music there.
The unlikely pairing begins tonight at 9 p.m., when songwriter and luthier Scott Baxendale will perform. For future listings, keep your eyes peeled to our Calendar.
