AthFest has announced a new slew of bands set to perform at the three-day festival this June, to add to the first wave of artists, which we revealed a couple weeks ago.
Jason Aldean headlined an historic concert at Sanford Stadium this past weekend. Flagpole was there. View a selection of photographs below.
As the Athens Banner-Herald reports, downtown Athens nightclub Manor is suing Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane for agreeing to perform on Halloween—and taking an advance paycheck for the appearance—and then, uh, not showing up.
As we reported back then, Manor owner David Ippisch sent a letter to fans apologizing for the debacle, saying in part (errors his):
In case you haven't heard by now, the highlight of Coachella this past weekend was not, as you might expect, a live performance, but the unveiling of a minute-and-a-half teaser for Daft Punk's hotly anticipated new album, Random Access Memories (out May 21).
Here's a canny, deconstructive remix of "Sea to Sky," a tune from Dream Boat's debut album Eclipsing, courtesy of Bear in Heaven's Jon Philpot. In his hands, the song is transformed from ethereal folk tune to skittery slice of EDM-pop. Singer Page Campbell's yawning vocals are here utilized as textural element, a melodic foil to Philpot's machine-gun drums.
Last month, we shared a stream of the first single from Dead Confederate's upcoming album In the Marrow, the slow-rolling "Vacations." The album doesn't come out officially until Apr. 16, but now, you can stream the whole damn thing, thanks to Spotify.
In last week's Art Notes, we told you about My_Athens, the Instagram-based art show that's taking over the Bottleworks gallery all April long. This Friday, Apr. 12, Paste Magazine will present a musical showcase featuring locals Easter Island and T. Hardy Morris. Pretty cool, I guess. But the real throwdown will happen the next Friday, Apr. 19, when Flagpole presents performances by Dream Boat and Outer Spaces.
Back in February, we reported that Futurebirds, that ever-evolving local band of country-rocking brothers, was set to release its second full-length album, Baba Yaga, via Mississippi label Fat Possum on Apr. 14. That's, like, next week, so make sure you've got your affairs in order. Below, stream a song from the record.
