Music news New club 529 opens in East Atlanta tomorrow
Posted by Chad Radford @ChadRad on Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 10:52 PM
Tomorrow night, Tues., Nov. 25th, the new club at 529 Flat Shoals Rd., simply called 529, will celebrate a soft opening and offer a first glimpse at the new digs of the spot that formerly housed the Village Sports Bar.
The pieces are all still falling into place, and as of today (Mon., Nov. 24th) the website isn't active. But the schedule of bands booked to perform on the new stage throughout December and January is already starting to fill up.
Shows already confirmed include:
December
12/6 - the Gaye Blades
12/13 - Recompass, Chris Devoe
12/20 - Lyonnais
12/27 - Airoes
January
1/10 - All the Saints, Balkans
1/17 - Anna Krammer
1/24 - Judi Chicago (4th Saturday residency)
1/31 - Noot D' Noot
Judi Chicago will be holding down a monthly happening called 'Dancing'. A pop-art celebration of the rituals of movement to music, on the fourth Saturday of every month. According to Ben: "Judi Chicago will present a curated blend of live music and DJs playing kinetic sounds to move to. The format will be rhythmic: the full gamut from slamming house music, disco, funk, techno, ragga, hip-hop (the fun kind), electro, drum and bass... A dancehall buffet.
In true Judi Chicago-style, the hedonism will be augmented/sliced and diced with a deconstructionist's scalpel. We'll be exploring the art, science and psychology of body-moving. It will be a lot of fun.
We'll be working on different experiments, events and themes to take place within the venue each month: penciled in our margins right now are such concepts as a genre-fisting 'wheel o' four-tunes' that decides / re-decides the musical format every 30 minutes, an entire night of records being played backwards in an effort to invoke some form of demon or inspire a mass suicide, and a marathon set of Cannibal Corpse / Soulja Boy mash-ups (2 of these may actually happen)."
Karl Injex has Friday nights locked down with a wide array of DJ sets.
Saturdays are currently being booked by Tight Bros. Network.
Wednesdays are booked by Party Panda Productions.
Full disclosure: For the soft opening tomorrow night the club has invited me down to spin records starting around 8 or 9 p.m.
