September 8-14

Monday, September 8:
Music Hates You, Weedeater, Armazilla. Tasty World. 10 p.m. $5. http://www.tastyworld.net/.
Metal time! Armazilla (from ATL) is supposedly formed by an ex-ZZ Top roadie, Weedeater is from Wilmington, NC, and Music Hates You hates you. All of the bands at Tasty World now play the upstairs bar in what is potentially a shoe-in for "the worst idea of 2008" Flagpole music awards category. But this show should rock your ass anyway. Go.

Concert release of Dead Confederate's new album Wrecking Ball. Sky City is where The Mission used to be. It changed hands when Coco Rubio (owner of the Soul Bar) bought the venue and is finally going to run it correctly. This is the night of the "Border Bash" party that is celebrated in Augusta in honor of the UGA vs. USC football game on Saturday. So if you are there for that reason, check out the show. Try not to get stabbed.

Saturday, September 13:
George W. Bush Cover Band. Georgia Theatre. 10 p.m. $10. http://www.georgiatheatre.com/.
The kids from Olympus Mans and some other dude play in this band that sets words from W.'s speeches to music. So I guess the president is also a member of this band. (He should get writing credits at least). Anyhow, I know this sounds like a dumbass idea but when you read the lyrics to the songs it is fucking scary that our president actually said this shit.

Monotonix, Silver Jews. Variety Playhouse (ATL). 8:30 p.m. $15. http://www.variety-playhouse.com/.
