Homedrone: Flagpole Premieres! Shehehe: 'Ghost Of' Video

By Gabe Vodicka | April 17, 2014 11:37am

Local power-punk outfit Shehehe has undergone a lineup shift since its debut, New American Jet Rock, was released in 2012. The additions of guitarist Adam Hebert and bassist Derek Wiggs have proven powerful ones: The band has only grown tighter and more furious in its rock and roll mission, and it plans to enter the studio soon to record the follow-up to the aforementioned album, which mixed low-budget arena-aping sensibilities with proto-punk passion.

Today, we've got an exclusive look at the new video for "Ghost Of," a New American Jet Rocktrack centered lyrically on ghouls and goblins and everything in between. Appropriately, the clip offers a B-movie-esque take on the song's sordid subject matter.

Watch the video after the jump.

Homedrone: Experimental Mondays Series Continues Tonight at The World Famous

By Gabe Vodicka | April 14, 2014 3:52pm

Future Ape Tapes

The local experimental scene has experienced a dramatic rebirth over the past year or two—this feature from last April provided a general overview of said rebirth. Since that article's publication, Athens' underground has continued to explode, new noise, drone and otherwise uncategorizable acts popping up like shapeshifting flowers throughout the local music landscape.

Two ongoing concert series have emerged of late, both designed to showcase Athens' experimental underground. At Hendershot's, a series of Sunday night shows has featured acts like Motion Sickness of Time Travel and Angel Brown (the next, slated for Apr. 20, features Scab Queen, Royal Futility and Entropidone; looking ahead, noise legendsPedestrian Deposit will perform May 23). Meanwhile, each Monday in April The World Famous is hosting a similarly themed evening of music, curated by Madeline Hassett of Tonda.

Tonight (Apr. 14), the latter series continues with sets from anti-pop warriors Future Ape Tapes, the garage-leaning Strays and drone project Aprotag. Doors are at 9 p.m., and admission costs $3. Check the Facebook event page for more info.
