Ponytail in Atlanta @ 529

Ponytail will be playing @ 529 over in East Atlanta this Saturday night May 23. Hailing from Baltimore (along with Thank You and Double Dagger) this 4 piece is really cool. I highly suggest you all checking them out Sat night. Kind of a great mixture of rock, a bit experimental, noise with very interesting vocals.

NYC Trip

So I spent a few days in NYC/Brooklyn/Bushwick last week with some friends. Endured the cold weather, long walks and subway rides to hang with old friends. Spent a day at Seizures Palace studio, that my friend and old bandmate Jason owns, a day walking from Canal st up into Central park, and a day just hanging round Manhattan before a show at lit Lounge Sat night.


The lineup at Lit Lounge was sort of an Atlanta reunion. Grasso Electtrica was the first band on the bill. Our old friend Jeremy is the singer/guitarist. He is from Pittsburgh/Morgantown but lived in Atlanta for a few years. We go back to Pineal Ventana days with Jeremy.

Next up was Lonesome. The newest project with the singer from Pineal Ventana. Band members include Wade on drums, Mega on Bass, Shane on guitar and Danette on vocals. All Atlanta peeps!

Hallux was amazing. Atlanta peeps included Jason Lafarge on bass, Andrew Barker on guitar and Hans Chew on drums. All living in NYC now. They play heavy, dirty, sludge metal.

Child Abuse was the final band on the bill. I only saw a few songs but loved it! Frantic, noisey and crazy. No Atlanta peeps in this band.

And You Will Know Us ....

Last night after work I headed over to Criminal Records for an in store performance by And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead. I have been familiar with their name for many years now but have listened to very little of their music. Seems like every time they come through Atlanta I never end up seeing them. Always one excuse or another.
So last night when they were doing the in store I thought, no excuses this time! It's free and early!
They played about 5 or 6 songs. The first 2 were amazing, the next few were so so and the last one was as good as the first ones. Sorry I don't know the song names as i couldn't get a good look at the short set list. Of course, I didn't expect a full set as they had a show later that night at The Earl over in E Atlanta. So below are some photos I took last night at Criminal Records ... enjoy!
