Monday, July 30-Sunday, July 6

Wednesday, July 2:
Sally Head, Velveteen Pink. Tasty World. 10 p.m. $5. http://www.tastyworld.net/.
(Thanks to M.K.Y. for this one...Sally Head is a duo from Brooklyn and joining them is the funk band you always wanted to be in, Velveteen Pink. Go to the damn show, fools!)

Thursday, July 3:
The Dumps, Hayride, Lake City. Tasty World, 10 p.m. $5. http://www.tastyworld.net/.

Friday, July 4:
Twin Tigers, Mouser, Abe Vigoda, POPO, Sweet Teeth. The Secret Squirrel. 10 p.m. $5.
(I just found out about this for your Independence Day pleasure. They aren't kidding about the whole "secret" squirrel thing. It's kinda hard to find out about shows...)

Saturday, July 5:
Gift Horse, An Epic at Best, Lions Tigers & Bears, Down With the Woo. Caledonia Lounge. 10 p.m. $6 (21+), $7 (18+). http://www.caledonialounge.com/.
(This is An Epic at Best's farewell performance).

If you just have to be in Atlanta Saturday here's some shows with reasons why you can't go...
Chunklet Magazine presents Boris, Torche, Clouds. The Earl. (ATL) 9:30 p.m.$13-$15.
The Earl.
(Torche rocks too loudly for your precious virgin ears so go see Gift Horse in Athens).

Fleet Foxes, the Duchess & the Duke, Long Knives. The Drunken Unicorn. (ATL)
9 p.m.$10. The Drunken Unicorn.
(Good luck getting into this one. Too many kids reading Pitchfork for you to go to this show so just come see my show in Athens at Caledonia or just stay at home and ponder your own sadness).

Tom Waits. The Fox Theatre. (ATL) 8 p.m.$67-$87. Fox Theatre.
($87?! Well fuck me Tom Waits!)

Seriously, if you don't do anything else this week go see the Velveteen Pink/Sally Head show at Tasty World on Wednesday, The Dumps/Lake City show at Tasty World on Thursday, Twin Tigers at Secret Squirrel on Friday the 4th, and since you can't go to any of the Atlanta shows on Saturday you should go to Caledonia to see Gift Horse. I'll be there man! That is all.
