COLORBEARER OF ATHENS, GEORGIA LOCALLY OWNED SINCE 1987

Drive-By Truckers

Friday, Aug. 23 & Saturday, Aug. 24 @ Georgia Theatre

The band has been hunkered down in the studio working on the full-length follow-up to 2011's Go-Go Boots (and the first album to feature the recently retooled lineup), but the Drive-By Truckers will emerge from their soundproof cocoon for their semi-annual multi-night stand. This weekend, the Truckers camp out at the Georgia Theatre, where "hopefully we'll premiere a new one or two," frontman Patterson Hood tells Flagpole. The group's also celebrating the upcoming reissue of its landmark 2000 live record Alabama Ass Whuppin', which will be available on vinyl for the first time ever on Sept. 10 via ATO Records. Get there early for the openers: longtime Tuscaloosa rockers the Dexateens play Friday, and Nashville newbies Fly Golden Eagle kick things off the next night.
