The art world recognizes Chris Verene as a photographer, but Atlanta knows him as one of the city's founding fathers of indie rock. He pounded away as the original drummer for Dairy Queen Empire (now DQE), and played in various musical acts throughout the '80s and '90s, including the Rock*A*Teens and the Opal Foxx Quartet.
These days, the Brooklyn-based transplant can be heard providing the beat for the Brooklyn-bases Spanish indie rock band, Cordero -- so named after his wife, songwriter and the band's founding member, Ani Cordero.
The group has a long history of cycling through collaborations with members of groups such as Calexico and Giant Sand (Howie Gelb), while various other musicians have moved in and out of the fold. Their latest album, De Donde Eres, hit the streets via on Bloodshot Records last month, and the group will be performing at The Earl on Thurs., Oct. 9. Batata Doce and The Holland Dutch open the show.
