Posted by Chad Radford @ChadRad on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 2:27 PM
N.E.C.'s "It's Right" from Kombo Ch on Vimeo.
Fri., Jan. 29 -- The N.E.C., All the Saints, Predator, Jovantes Known for wielding dense, improvised psychedelic rock, the N.E.C celebrates the release of Is, a new CD/cassette/LP (Double Phantom) that merges the group's signature rhythmic experiments with refined and heady hooks guiding the haze. The group's Lexington, Ky., counterpart Jovantes also perform, while terse and respectively arty and amped-up locals All the Saints and Predator open. $7. 9 p.m. 529. 404-228-6769.
Fri., Jan. 29 -- Sonen, Living Rooms, DJ Brian Parris. Call for price. 9 p.m. The Highland Inn Ballroom Lounge. 644 North Highland Ave. 404-874-5756.
Fri., Jan. 29 -- The Preakness, Whale Fall, Social Studies The Preakness drummer Matt Glagola is moving to New Orleans, effectively bringing an end to the Preakness, at least for the foreseeable future. It is uncertain how or if Atlanta's damaged and long-standing indie pop trio will carry on, but this will be the band's final show. Whale Fall and experimental hip-hop duo Social Studies are also on the bill. $7. 9 p.m. The Earl. 404-522-3950.
Social Studies "Assignment 2" mp3
Fri., Jan. 29 -- The Pinx, Dead Rabbits, Masters of Persian Music, Drew Kohl, and Kyle Robbins. Call for price. 8 p.m. WonderRoot. 982 Memorial Drive. 404-254-5955.
Fri., Jan. 29 -- Trench Party, Magic Apron, Rabbit, Molotov Pipedream. Trench Party is quickly becoming one of my favorite new local distressed indie rock songwriter with a guitar and a 4-Track types. It reminds me of a simpler era of guerrilla home recording; early Beck, Sebadoh and Pavement come to mind -- all bestowed with a perfect dose of self-effacing, car crash drama and slacker sensibilities. This show doubles as a photography exhibit. Free. 8:30 p.m. The Archive Gallery. 583 Juniper St.
Pine Magazine is hosting its Portfolio series this Fri., Jan. 29, at Picaflor Studio. Three photographers (Alana Goldstein, Dave Batterman and Karen Shacham) will be showing their work. Art show begins at 7 p.m. Music starts at 10 p.m. Picaflor Studio, 195 Arizona Ave., Suite 3. 404-247-6432.
Sat., Jan. 30 -- The Fringe Factory, Atlanta's premiere ‘60s-themed psychedelic dance party, returns with a live performance from the Barreracudas. FF hosts Vikki V and Suzy Q will be spinning before and after the show, along with guest DJs Kurt Wood, Chris Devoe, Yoon and El Capitan. $8. 10 p.m. Spring 4th Center. 728 Spring St.
Sat., Jan. 30 -- Hawks, White Problems (Milwaukee), Brain Flannel (Charlotte, N.C.), Ralph. Noise Rock, noise rock, noise rock and punk rock. $5. 9 p.m. 529, 529 Flat Shoals Ave. 404-228-6769.
Sat., Jan. 30 -- Holly Fest. A bunch of local country, rockabilly and like-minded acts get together to celebrate the music of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper. Flathead Mike & the Mercurys, the Cogburns, the Atomic Rockets, the Booze, Slim Chance & the Convicts, Bryan Malone (the Forty Fives), Atomic Boogie, Sonoramic Commando and Caroline & the Ramblers are all on deck to perform. $10. 8 p.m. Star Bar, 437 Moreland Ave. 404-681-9018.
Sat., Jan. 30 -- This Piano Plays Itself, Reno Bo, Coyote Bones This Piano Plays Itself embraces the intricate clichés of Explosions in the Sky-styled squalls of epic and emotionally bursting instrumental rock panoramas. Former Mooney Suzuki bassist and Nashville based NYC garage rock transplant Reno Bo shows off some hook-laden chops from his solo debut, Happenings and Other Things. Atlanta's Springsteen circa Nebraska trio Coyote Bones also performs. DJ Rene closes. $7. 8:30 p.m. The Highland Inn Ballroom Lounge. 404-874-5756.
