September 22-28

Hey there everybody. We are looking at one of the best weeks of the year as far as shows go for Athenians. Good local bands playing this week, as well as good touring bands coming through. Stuff to do in Atlanta too. The 40 Watt is having a handful of amazing shows in the next seven days, and besides the various annual festivals, (mainly Popfest & Athfest) this is a once-in-a-year type week for them. So I suggest checking out as many shows as possible in the next seven.
