See & Do - Music: Freakout July 02 2009

Thurs., July 9

Brace yourself for yet another installment of the Star Bar’s free, weekly FREAKOUT. For this go-around, Atlanta’s current crop of garage rockers, psychedelic-journey and punk hooligans fills out a wild bill of ramped-up tunes. The N.E.C. headlines with deep, dirty, experimental rock grooves. The Electric Cycle and John Barrett’s Bass Drum of Death play rugged garage-rock nostalgia. Knife and the 4th Ward Daggers version 2.0 play simple, damaged bubblegum, punk-rock, beach-party, knife-fight anthems. DJ Kevy Duty will be on hand spinning records well into the wee hours of the morning. Free. 9 p.m. 437 Moreland Ave. 404-681-9018. www.starbaratlanta.com.
