It seems like a metaphor to say that Attractive Eighties Women haven’t inflected their exuberant yuckster rock and roll on Atlanta audiences since April Fool’s Day, but it’s true. More than eight months have gone by since Phoebe Cates’ (Mack Williams) defection to the hipster Fertile Crescent, A.K.A. Brooklyn. But now he’s back in town for a brief holiday stay, and the dry spell ends Sat., Dec. 4 when Cates (vocals), Kelly McGillis (guitar), Christie Brinkley (guitar), Shelley Long (bass) and Carrie Fisher (drums) take the stage at 529. I had a chance to catch up with Phoebe this week and she told me all about what the ladies have been have up their sleeves.

Attractive Eighties Women play 529 Sat., Dec. 4 with Back Pockets and CCIVORY. $5. 9 p.m.

Chad Radford: I hear that you’ve been recording a new EP while you’re in town.

Phoebe Cates: We’re recording four songs as part of a split EP. It’s going to be four songs from us, four from Deerhunter and four from Janelle Monae. Also, three songs from Mastodon and two from Gentleman Jesse. And seven from the Black Lips. Also, Cee-Lo’s “Fuck You” will be a hidden bonus track. It’s called The Pitchfork Sessions and it’s being released on Warner Bros/Sire. We signed with them yesterday.

Wow! It sounds like you have finally arrived…
