Music news Fringe Factory turns funky this Saturday at Highland Inn
Posted by Chad Radford @ChadRad on Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 10:18 PM
This Saturday night Fringe Factory returns to The Highland Inn Ballroom with yet another themed party. This time around it's the "Summer Love Revelation," and word on the street is that it's a mushroom themed party. What exactly that means remains to be determined, but the interior of the ballroom will be decorated with some pretty ambitious and elaborate mushroom decorations that the ladies of Fringe Factory spent a lot of time putting together, so it will be worth checking out for the props alone.
DJ Soulmarcosa from North Carolina heads up the turntables with a set of vintage rock and roll, mod rock et. al., and special guest DJ Jared Swilley of the Black Lips fills in with a set of doo-wop and rock and roll records.
Swilley's infamously reckless other band The Gaye Blades are also set to perform. The last few shows they've done have been unexpectedly tight, so this one is not to be missed, especially since this is their last show together before guitar player and Rob's House Records owner Trey Lindsay moves away to go to school in New York City.
There will also be music provided by hosts and resident DJs Suzy Q & Vikki V., as well as a psychedelic light show and vintage, 16mm visuals provided by the OP SHOPPE.
The party starts at 9 p.m. and the Gaye Blades go on around 11:00 p.m. Cover is $7. The Highland Inn Ballroom is located at 644 N. Highland Ave. For more information look online at www.myspace.com/highlandinnloungeatlanta.

Don't go to this shit. Worst seven bucks you will spend. Back from the grave comps are good and all, but fucking come on....if you're gonna be prancing around in a mod dress calling yourself a fucking DJ have a little soul. Also, if you like retarded shit projected on the walls and fucking gay paper machet mushrooms and other assorted hippy bullshit, you'll love it. GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY

I have to disagree with that guys comment, WTF is up his butt?! Something personal perhaps? Yeah it sucks if you like hip hop or TECHNO electronic BS. I went and had a blast! All the DJs were playing mostly 45s anyway-not comps- the guy from the Black Lips and the other djs ruled! And those guys put alot of work into the night-lots of film projectors, visuals and a good crowd. I danced my ass off!
Hey Jib. Seems like all the DJs were playing mostly '45's. If you can only reference Back from the Grave comps when referring to garage/psych music, then I suggest you do a little more music research. Too bad you didn't know anyone that night who could put you on the guest list. Try to appreciate something different happening in the scene. Otherwise, continue going to house shows. Don't be a cheap-ass, contribute to the keg fund.
