Music news WMRE hosts Localsfest 2009
Posted by Celeste Herron on Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 9:31 PM
Emory University student radio station WMRE (currently broadcasting on channel 26 on emory campus) will host its annual Localsfest on Feb. 13 at 8 p.m. at the Harland Cinema.
Localsfest, known for introducing local up-and-coming Atlanta bands, is at it once again. This year Poison Arrows will be a featured band at the festival. The group walks a fine line between punk and power pop music circa '79 through their strutting guitars and sneering pop songwriting.
The N.E.C. takes things in a decidedly more primitive garage rock direction.
Carnivores will open the fest with their "Walls of distorted sound."
This is an event you defintely will not want to miss. Grab a friend and come out and support the local bands. For shows times, parking and ticket information check out WMRE.
