Cast your vote on all the grit and glitz that make this town so filthy rich when CL hosts the BEST OF ATLANTA VOTING PARTY. It'll be a night that's sure to scuff the pages of history books in the dirty and decadent big apple of the South.
Attractive Eighties Women headline with a set of rousing anthems that draw from equal parts Lenny Bruce's impious humor-made-local, and the power-trash jams of the Replacements circa '83. Dead Confederate's Hardy Morris opens the show with a rare solo performance. "I'll be playing some of my own songs on an acoustic and an electric guitar," Morris says. "Some of the stuff you'll hear will be things that we've done as Dead Confederate songs, and some of the other songs are just my own, personal stuff. ...songs that aren't really in the right vein for the band to do."
$5 (admission includes beverage and food samples). 9 p.m. The Masquerade, 695 North Ave. 404-577-8178. Don't forget to vote – onsite at the party, or at clatl.com/bestofatlanta.
