Music news Deerhunter to open for the Breeders at Variety Playhouse
Posted by Chad Radford on Mon, May 13, 2013 at 1:14 PM
The headline says it all: The rumors are true, Deerhunter is opening for the Breeders at Variety Playhouse this Wednesday, May 15.
The Breeders play Variety Playhouse on Wed., May 15. $20-$23. 8 p.m. 1099 Euclid Ave. 404-524-7354.
Nearly three years after Halcyon Digest delivered crowd-pleasing permutations of Deerhunter's sound with such songs as "Helicopter," "Revival," and "Desire Lines," the group remains one of the dicier acts on the leading edge of American art rock. Although the group came into its own as an outsider amid Atlanta's garage/punk boon of the early to mid-aughts, Deerhunter's penchant for crafting singularly noisy and melodic avant-garde rock has been its defining trait from the very beginning. With its fifth album, Monomania (4AD), the group stays true to that vision while hammering out a dark and tangled collection of songs that are rich with both intimacy and urgency - a slapdash masterpiece that makes Halcyon Digest feel tame by comparison.

Music news The Woggles' WFMU session hits the Internet
Posted by Bobby Moore on Mon, May 6, 2013 at 10:07 AM
- The Woggles
On Tues., April 30, Atlanta garage rock legends the Woggles made an appearance on Joe Belock's "Three Chord Monte," a long-running radio show featured on New York's WFMU, playing eight cuts from the band's 11th album, The Big Beat. The record was released in March on Little Stephen's Wicked Cool Records, and the entire WFMU set is available as a free download via the station's Free Music Archive.
The songs are about what you'd expect from the Woggles, with these recordings sounding like something you could have heard on any given night at the Star Bar over the past 20 years. That's not a bad thing by any means as the group has been a viable touring and recording act since 1989, making it not just a forerunner for local bands like the Subsonics, but also a peer of such international garage tastemakers as the A-Bones.
