AthFest has announced a few more outdoor performers for this year's festival, which takes place June 26–28.
While Slingshot was raging here in town (see our photos and a review), Flagpole correspondents were also up in Knoxville, TN for this year's Big Ears Festival. Check out a bunch of photos from the fest below:

While Athens prepares for the onslaught of music, art and tech that will comprise this weekend's Slingshot Festival, the organizers of this summer's AthFest have announced that wristbands for the fest's Club Crawl are now available.
At first, it looked like Portland stoner-rock band Black Pussy would have an unexpected layover in Athens after their show at the Caledonia Lounge on Mar. 24, because their show at Raleigh's Pour House the following day was cancelled in response to public outrage at the band's obviously, plainly, stiflingly offensive name. (The show has since been re-booked at a different venue.)

Slingshot, the three-day festival of music, tech and electronic art, happens Mar. 26–28 in Athens, and, in case you hadn't heard, the fest has landed a truly impressive selection of musical talent for its third annual installment.

Athens Facebook was duped over the weekend by an article claiming that R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills is the highest paid musician in the world.
Here's the article (in full, so as to avoid sending the sketchy website behind it any more clicks).
