After being forced to cancel its planned performance at this year's AthFest due to illness, new Athens/Atlanta supergroup Blasting Cap will make its Classic City debut Saturday at the Melting Point. Featuring Murray Attaway and Jeff Walls—two erstwhile members of Georgia jangle-pop sensation Guadalcanal Diary—as well as members of onetime scene fixtures Hillbilly Frankenstein, The Swimming Pool Q's and Go Van Gogh, the band's driving, playful rock and roll sound is a blatant and blissful throwback to those bands' bygone era. The young Blasting Cap has already been known to "cover" Guadalcanal songs in its live set, so aging nostalgists, grab yer dancin' shoes. The Michael Guthrie Band opens.
