Georgia Dish Boys, Los Cantares, Joe Cat, Todd McBride
Saturday, Jan. 5 @ Flicker Theatre & Bar
Chameleonic Athens rockers Georgia Dish Boys blend sounds and scenes with wild-eyed fervor. Drawing on touchstones like Neil Young, Sonic Youth and Townes Van Zandt, the group recasts roots music on the newly released Nine Song Movie. The record, which wears its influences on its sleeve—and in its song titles, like “Heartworn Highways” and “Howe Gelb Said”—is full of buzzsaw guitars and dizzy pedal steel, with frontman Seth Martin’s menacing shriek its attention-grabbing centerpiece. Martin and band contributor Tyler Key are in the midst of a massive two-month-plus tour, but they’ll stop off at home for a shower and a show at Flicker the first Saturday of the new year.
