Street Violence - Straight Chillin' EP
We just got our hands on the new EP from Street Violence and it is a trip! High energy mixture of reverberated low fi rock. Throw back? Yes... But at the same time, SO relevant and in the now. The vocals are haunting yet bubble gum pop-a-licious. Download away and put them on your iPod as you ride your fixie through Little 5. ;-)
Grab the EP here: http://streetviolenceatl.bandcamp.com/album/straight-chillin

karen is one of atl's best comics who mostly tells hilarious stories peppered with silly jokes. nerdkween (also playing sxsw) does beautiful noise: she sings over guitars, tape loops, and a.m. radio frequencies. HHH is synth punk from reynoldstown and they will be the most uptempo.

Eric Dodd, Scotty Cram, David Bell at Smith’s - 3/12/11
This Saturday night (3/12/11), three GREAT musicians are taking over the Atlanta Room at Smith’s Olde Bar (www.smithsoldebar.com). Eric Dodd is a native of Lake Oconee and has shared the stage many times with Grammy award winner Zac Brown. Scotty Cram lives in Atlanta and says his influences are “Motown, Soul, Rock, all wrapped into one,” and that’s exactly what his sound is. He has a great, soulful voice that grabs your attention, and his passion for his music really shows. (p.s. – He sings a wicked cover of “Man in the Mirror.” How can you not love him?) David Bell is also a local musician who will complete this great lineup.
ALSO, it’s my awesome roommate’s BIRTHDAY! Come out and celebrate with us! She’s a loyal OMFG reader, supporter, and helper. We <3 her! Presents not necessary, but free drinks greatly appreciated!
Find us in the Atlanta Room, Saturday, 8:00pm, $8 (21 and up).

OM(usic)FG - Wesley Cook at The Vinyl - Feb 17
Wanna get “leid?” We can help with that. Fresh off a win at Hard Rock’s battle of the bands, Wesley Cook is bringing his full band to the Vinyl’s stage for a great show that is not to be missed!
Click on flyer for Facebook event page
Wesley started off with a solo acoustic album in 2005 and has come a long way since then. His most recent full-band album has a laid back, pop/beachy (is that even a category?) sound. Cue my Van Morrison reference and add some of O.A.R.’s bold, high-energy sound, and you’ve got Wesley Cook. He puts so much of his personality into each song, and you feel like you know exactly what he's singing about.
He has shared the stage with many great artists such as Drivin’ n’ Cryin, Zac Brown Band and Manchester Orchestra. In 2006, he was nominated for “Soloist of the year” in the Athens Music Awards, and he has appeared on MTV2 as an “Artist on the Rise.”
Some of my favorites from the cd are: Tasty Devil Woman, Home Grown Girl, and Sunrise Over Georgia. You can check out the cd New Ground at CDBaby.com, or click the picture below:
You can hear Wesley LIVE tomorrow night at Vinyl! Also on the bill: Christopher Alan Yates, and Patrick Scott. Doors at 7:30, $10 at the door. That's a bargain for some great music, plus you get a LEI! Just do it!
Here’s a video from Wesley’s 7/21/10 show at Hard Rock Café. Always a very enjoyable show!

OM(usic)FG - Paul Warner - "Deadly Waterparks"
picture from paulwarner.tv
It has been almost 3 years since I lived in Athens, and I’ve yet to find a singer/songwriter with that "Athens" musical dynamic here in Atlanta. Well, that was until I heard Paul Warner’s latest cd “Deadly Waterparks.” This music reminds me of those good times in Athens when we would randomly walk into a small bar and hear a great singer/songwriter that just completely made our night.
The sound is a soothing mix of many instruments (including violin, pedal steel, saxophone, cello) and Paul’s smooth, effortless voice. The ballads are very Jeff Buckley-esque with lyrics that create vivid images in your mind and the faster alt/pop songs remind me very much of Broken Bells grooves that you can’t help but to grin while listening.
“Deadly Waterparks” is a great listen. I’ve listened through so many times I can’t even count. Some of my favorites are “Love in Space” that has a great King’s of Leon kind of guitar riff through out, “Freud” which is a song everyone can probably relate to, and the great ending track “The Movies” is the perfect lullaby love song that leads into a beautiful instrumental piece.
:::::NEXT SHOW::::
Paul Warner and the Whisperers will be playing at Smith’s Olde Bar THURSDAY NIGHT (12/9/10) along with The Bridges and The Kicks. Only $10 for 3 great bands!
