Wow. I dropped the ball a little bit this week.
Somewhere in between making an album from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. every night, the destruction of my house, and starting a new job I couldn't make time for the calendar. Oh well, there's only two shows that I'll mention at this point in the week:
Tonight (Thursday, Jan. 22) at Mercury Lounge:
Members of Kuroma are playing a set at about 10 p.m. followed by a DJ set. Go!
Tomorrow (Friday, Jan. 23) at Caledonia:
Gift Horse is playing with Baak Gwai, Kebert Xela, and Sound and Shape. $5. Doors at 10 p.m.
Meanwhile, the Gift Horse album is coming along nicely and we nearly completed the tracking portion of the process last night. I'll have a better update soon with some pictures and more info. For now, I appreciate everyone's patience while I try to sort things out. Then I'll get back to the Forces.

Monday, January 12:
Ghost To Falco, Sing iDog, Drivers Songs.
Caledonia. 10 p.m. $5. www.caledonialounge.com.
I don't know much about these bands but the description sounds psychedelic and creepy...
and Ghost To Falco is from Portland (where the smack flows like wine).
Tuesday, January 13:
Kevin Blechdom, Irene Moon, The World Provider.
Flicker. 8:30 p.m. $5. www.myspace.com/flickerbar.
Don't know much here either but this sounds really weird. And that's good. For example, Kevin Blechdom is not a man, Irene Moon is an entomologist/performance artist who talks about her slides while music plays, and The World Provider is from Montreal (where they eat their young). Drugs, anyone?

This week, Mercer West and PartyPartyPartners.com are having a festival over at Tasty World. The club recently hired Mercer to handle the booking and his first act of business is to offer some free food and music starting at 10 p.m. every night. Apparently this is the Tasty World revival. Or maybe the entrance into the post-Tasty era. Either way, sounds like a townie townie town good time, and we won't mention the fact that Murphy hired my uh, lets say "roommate" for this booking job first and then hired Mercer without even so much as a phone call to the H-bomb to let him know that he wouldn't be getting the position after all. Eh, maybe we will mention that. Thanks Murphy!

Thats me as in, well, me. I'm excited to do some solo stuff with my good friends Matt (aka Rebel Forces contributor and Gift Horse/Panic co-manager) and Vaughan (aka Mitchel Thunderbolt and Gift Horse bassist). Matt's got a cool acoustic/fingerpicky set worked up, Mitchel Thunderbolt is a touch deeply moving acoustic melancholy-folk aimed at the religious right, and I'm just gonna play some stuff off of my demo page and a few obscure covers, experimental noise rock style. Hope to see you there...

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.

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.

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.
