Wednesday, Oct. 3
BLUES AFFLICTION
(Tasty World) This new local blues band plays authentic electric blues "in the style of Buddy Guy, with a little Texas feel."
DJ PNP POWERBOTTOMS
(Go Bar) Make of this what you will: "Asian beatbox with a cat fresh off the meat rack, bluefish getting stacks wolfpack, here to attack."
DJ SIZZLE
(Loft) Spinning the dance numbers every Wednesday.
GEORGIA
(Tasty World) Laid-back Southern Rock is the name of the game for this Atlanta five-piece. The guys go at it like Skynyrd or the Black Crowes, but there's a mellower Mellencamp/ Petty influence at work as well.
KIP JONES
(WOW Café) Many of Jones' own tunes split between the reflective acoustic territory of Harvest-era Neil Young and the country-infused rock of '80s-era Steve Earle. His newest album is called Downright. Every Wednesday.
JUKEBOX THE GHOST
(Caledonia) Trucking its lively pop rock out of Washington, DC, Jukebox the Ghost has a melodic new self-titled album that's a little reminiscent of the Dismemberment Plan's quirkier moments.
DAMIEN JURADO
(40 Watt) Sweet-voiced and prolific Seattle singer Damien Jurado plays with sounds, from hauntingly lo-fi folk recordings to stuff incorporating found sounds or electric rock ideas. Moving from subtly bleak balladry to hopeful enunciations, And Now That I'm In Your Shadow is his latest recorded delight. See Box.
"KARAOKE"
(Foxz) Every Wednesday.
"KARAOKE"
(Mell's) Every Wednesday.
KEN WILL MORTON
(Eastwood Pub) Rough-and-tumble American rock guy Ken Will Morton, former host of the Melting Point's songwriter series, now holds court every Wednesday at the Eastwood with a revolving group of players.
MR. BROWN
(Chapel) Deejaying indie, underground and old school hip-hop every Wednesday night.
NAPOLEON SOLO
(Wild Wing Café) Napoleon Solo is the multitasking one-man-band who handles it all.
NELO
(Georgia Theatre) Nelo has that Dave Matthews Band, '90s-jam-rock sound (albeit with vocals leaning towards Ben Harper), but the music is tight enough and the songs exhibit enough brevity to land them more in the breezy, melodic pop-rock genre of Jack Johnson. After a few years in Athens, the guys moved back home to Texas earlier this year.
OKKERVIL RIVER
(40 Watt) Drawing on a banjo-fueled sound, this band's dark folk-infused rock tunes have much in common with the hootstomp of Tom Waits - if it were tempered with some Hammond organs and swirly atmospherics. Good stuff.
PRIME TIME JAZZ
(Porterhouse) Drummer Tony McCutchen, bassist Chris Enghauser and pianist Jim McKillip perform jazz standards for the dinner-and-a-drink set every Wednesday.
SEEPEOPLES
(Tasty World) Originally from Massachusetts but relocated to Asheville, NC, Seepeoples in 2005 released The Corn Syrup Conspiracy, an album full of wide-ranging pop rock that draws on psychedelia, '60s garage, reggae, funk and more.
SLEEPY HORSES
(Caledonia) Nic Goodson's band Sleepy Horses specializes in West Texas, alt-country rockers and feedback- and loop-laced shoegazey soundscapes. The band's been reworked again with a new lineup: Justin Gregg on upright bass, Dave Forker on drums.
BRIAN SMITH
(Casa Mia) Georgia Guitar Quartet member Brian Smith plays classical guitar every Wednesday night at the downtown tapas restaurant. 7:30–10:30 p.m.

(Farm 255) Athens musician Jeff Soileau (pronounced "swallow") performs New Age finger-style acoustic guitar, drawing from influences Michael Hedges, Phil Keaggy and the Beatles. 8 p.m.
STILL PINK
(Caledonia) Sounding a little like mellower Queen, this pop-rock trio hails from Virginia.
"UNCORKED & UNPLUGGED"
(Melting Point) Every week, local singer-songwriter Jay Markwalter opens and hosts this series which aims to focus on artists proficient in the craft of songwriting. Tonight, the spotlight shines on a collection of local ladies: Megan Baer, Noel Blackmon, Kaitlin Jones and Heather Heyn. Every Wednesday, 7 p.m.
THE WINTER SOUNDS
(Caledonia) Land of No Output is last year's local album from this impressively non-stop local band, just back from tour this week. The five-piece creates an strong mix of deft, rhythmic indie rock with vocal flourishes that occasionally touch on emo, exploring a variety of song structures. The new album Porcelain Empire reworks some of those tracks and presents 'em anew.
Thursday, Oct. 4
A.ARMADA
(Caledonia) Athens' Aaron Stephenson, Matt Nelson, Josh McCauley and new drummer Jeremy Harbin play energetic, epic indie rock. The band's self-titled EP takes things in a cinematic post-rock direction, with touches of Godspeed and such.
THE ARTIE BALL SWING BAND
(Melting Point) A full outfit of local jazz bigwigs plays the traditional dance numbers with gusto. Original swing-style tunes sneak into the mix as well, and they stand well next to the classics. The band released the live album It's Friday in 2006.
TREY BOYER
(No Where Bar) Songwriter and Athens native Trey Boyer (ex-Dimestore) now spends most of his time in Nashville, playing his smartly written folk- and country-inspired rock tunes. He comes back occasionally to town to share his newest compositions, like those off On My Way, the new full-length from the Trey Boyer Band.
JUSTIN BROGDON
(Georgia Bar) Tallahassee, FL, native and current Athens dude Justin Brogdon (ex-Bluestring, Full Black Out) plays acoustic covers and Tom Pettyish originals in his solo sets, aiming for thoughtful lyrics and emotional sounds. New album out now.
THE CARTRIDGE FAMILY
(Little Kings) This Raleigh, NC band plays rock and roll in a straightforward way, but mixes its influences up a bit. There's a good amount of twangy country rock mixed with bluesy, scruffy early Stones/ Faces stuff.
CHRIS ENGHAUSER SUPER COMBO
(Farm 255) Local jazz bassist Chris Enghauser leads this large and collaborative septet, which will include names familiar to local jazz fans: Kevin Hyde, Dave D'Angelo and Louis Romanos, among others. Expect horns, piano, bass and drums in the mix. "Sort of Art Blakey/ shuffle/ bebop three-horn arrangements with some originals," says Enghauser. 8 p.m.
CRUMBLING ARCHES
(40 Watt) Theatrical, over-the-top melodic rock from Atlanta's four-piece Crumbling Arches. Best feature? A capable rhythm section makes up for predictable "rock" vocals. The new full-length album is called The Somnambulist; see p. 32 for a review.
DJ MAHOGANY
(Flicker) Tonight starts with two free badass films chosen by DJ Mahogany - Death Wish 3 at 8 p.m. and Night of the Demons at 10:15 - and then he hosts a dance party starting at 1 a.m., spinning vintage funk, soul and R&B.
DJ REBB
(Detour) Atlanta's DJ Rebb plays Top 40, hip-hop, progressive house and other electronic sounds prime for dancing. Starting at midnight after the Classic City Kings drag show. Every Thursday.
DJ RIX
(Loft) Championing dance favorites every Thursday, Atlanta's DJ Rix favors breakbeat and hip-hop mixes. He recently collaborated with Louisiana's Trace on a new mix called TR-IXX.
NIC GOODSON
(Tasty World) Sleepy Horses frontman Nic Goodson performs a solo set of his dusty, shoegazey country rock numbers, but don't be surprised if any special guests join in on a tune or two.
GRAYSON HILL
(Wild Wing Café) This smoove-rocking acoustic trio plays a variety of original songs and covers of Top 40-type pop-rock stuff.
ISHUES N THE MOVEMENT
(Farm 255) In early 2004, versatile and progressive-minded emcee Ishues released Reality Flow; the impressive local release features powerful, off-the-cuff rhyming and a hard-edged lyrical style reminiscent of Talib Kweli. See p. 30 for info on his new album, Civil Unrest. Brennen Bennett (bass), Ryan Vogel (keyboard), Tony Delgado (drums), Lane Miller (guitar) and Harmon Hanson (guitar) make up the new live backing band, with DJ Bulldog Purp on turntables. See p. 30.

KENOSHA KID
(Ciné) This Athens-based incarnation of the nomadic jazz collective has been performing together for about a year now and features the more electric, exploratory side of Dan Nettles' music. For this show, they'll feature music written for screenings of the Buster Keaton film Steamboat Bill, Jr. See p. 28.
LAKE CITY
(Tasty World) Matt "Pistol" Stoessel sets down the pedal steel to head up his Americana-leaning rock act, recruiting Fritz Gibson on bass, JoJo Glidewell on piano, Billy Rhoton on keyboards, guitar and vocals and Dave Whitling on drums.
LIL' SCRAPPY
(Georgia Theatre) Raw Atlanta rapper Lil' Scrappy - Darryl Richardson is what is says on his paper - caught the ear of Lil' Jon and broke out in 2003 with a bevy of homegrown mixtapes, and the following year found his song "Head Bussa" used for a while as the theme for the Atlanta Braves. Bred 2 Die Born 2 Live is Scrappy's new solo album.
LOOT
(OK Coffee) This Augusta-based DJ crew spins the sounds for the first show from the newly-formed UGA media arts club.
MOLASSES SKYE
(Farm 255) The new local duo of Kyshona Armstrong and Rachel Cole merges acoustic guitar, ethnic percussion, soulful Southern vocals and open-diary poetry.
MP3J VINAL
(Mercury Lounge) After tonight's bands, Richard Vinal (of local hip-hop / funk fusion act Bling the Children Back Home) hosts the late-night eclectic dance party that’ll draw on classic favorites as well as the new Internet hotness.
THE MUSICSMITHS
(La Dolce Vita) Every Thursday night, guitarist Brian Smith (Georgia Guitar Quartet) and flautist Natalie Smith (Grogus) play classical music duets. 7:30–10:30 p.m.
ANDERS PARKER
(Tasty World) Top-notch tunesmith Anders Parker recorded and released five albums under the Varnaline name, two with Space Needle, two solo releases and one collaboration with Jay Farrar under the name Gob Iron. He finally got around to calling an album Anders Parker, released last year, and it's just as earthy, haunting and vocative of wide-open space (and hearts) as past releases
PRIDE PARADE
(Caledonia) The new evolution in beery, good times-heavy thrash rock and roll, featuring former members of Brown Frown. Bug 'em for a copy of recently recorded demos.
SON 1
(Nuçi's Space) While the profile of his group The Renegadez has dropped over the past year, Athens rapper Curtison Jones has upped his solo work, releasing the album The American Hero and collaborating with numerous local artists.
THE SUEX EFFECT
(No Where Bar) The trio of guitarist Ricky Barrett, drummer Jonathan Daniels and bassist Miles Karp play psychedelicized funk rock instrumentals, relying on spacey harmonies. Faces of the Tree is the debut full-length.
TIMBER
(Little Kings) Last year's full-length album from the local alt-country band is called Dark Heart… Lucky Hand. There've been some lineup shifts in the group recently; should be a rawer presentation of lead singer Daniel Aaron's wistful, fiery country pop. The brand-new album is For Never & Always.
TRACK 8 THEORY
(OK Coffee) Bedroom-crafted ambient electro sounds with the occasional fat rhythmic underpinning: that's what's offered up by solo guy Track 8 Theory, AKA Jamie McGaw (ex-An Epic At Best).
TWIN POWERS
(Go Bar) Dan Geller (Kindercore Records, Ruby Isle, etc.) has an affinity for spinning danceable New Wave and Britpop tunes as well as contemporary electro-rock dance stuff. 11 p.m. after karaoke, every Thursday.

(Eastwood Pub) Local hard-rocker Carla LeFever and her band play covers of AC/DC, Dio and some of her more "hard-grooving" and dancey originals in the same vein.
CAROLINA SHITKICKER
(Tasty World) This local four-piece tends towards blue-collar rock, not unlike more polished early Uncle Tupelo or the cow-punkier moments of Social Distortion - though sometimes with more twang, fiddle or guitar soloing.
DJ JOHNNY D
(Loft) One of The Loft Lounge's rotating crew of house deejays, Johnny D - whom you may recognize from Atlanta's 95.5 The Beat - lays down the new dance sounds, heavy on the hip-hop every Friday night.
DJ MARK BELL
(8e's) Starting at 11 p.m. every Friday and Saturday, local deejay Mark Bell focuses on the dancier sounds of 20 years ago.

FAIRMOUNT FAIR
(40 Watt) Though dormant for more than a year when it comes to live performing, this "deluxe emcee duo" rocks the mics like few other locals. Energetic and sincere, the duo proves that underground hip-hop can be fun without having to be ironic and self-referentially pretentious.
THE FLAT EARTH SOCIETY
(Little Kings) Weekly get-together of local songwriters Christopher Henderson and Don Auber, with frequent collaborations and guest musicians. Americana fables and dark ballads from Appalachia to the Dust Bowl. Every Friday at happy hour from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
THE HEALERS
(Little Kings) Original Healer Donny Ray Simonds (harmonica and vocals) reforms his local blues group with Jimmy Bolman (guitar), John Davis (guitar) and Jeff Gill (drums) on board to play some deep, classic-sounding blues.
TRESOR HUGO
(Tasty World Upstairs) The energetic Atlanta emcee puts as much thought into his stage presence as he does his nimble, thoughtful lyrical flow - the latter of which is at times reminiscent of Jay-Z or Lupe Fiasco. His much-advertised (look for the van plastered with garish ads driving around town) new album is According to My Flow, which he also self-produced.
"IT'S FRIDAY"
(WUGA, 91.7 FM) Every Friday at 4 p.m. Today's live-over-the-radio performance: Jessica Urick.
JE SUIS FRANCE
(40 Watt) Crunchy, smart-ass indie pop. Though the early France was essentially something of an excuse to get drunk, 2003's Fantastic Area saw an evolution in the sound that indicated a commitment to songcraft and structure without losing sight of original tendencies. Long-in-the-works follow-up album Afrikan Majik is out now.
JUMPIN' JESUS CHRISTERS
(OK Coffee) This local band plays old-time folk and old-styled country with upright bass, banjo, fiddles and guitar. Free show from 6 to 9 p.m. to coincide with a show by local jewelry artist Annette Paskiewicz.

(Chapel) Deejaying hip-hop tunes with a more upbeat, dancier vibe than his Wednesday gigs. Every Friday and Saturday night.
SHAWN MULLINS
(Melting Point) 1998 was a big year for Atlanta folk-rock singer Shawn Mullins. That was the year Columbia released his album Soul’s Core, which sold well thanks to the breakaway hit song “Lullaby.” Mullins, a headlining artist at this year's AthFest, released the follow-up Beneath the Velvet Sun in 2000, and the Essential Shawn Mullins collection arrived in 2003 and he teamed up with singer-songwriters Matthew Sweet and Pete Droge to form the Thorns. 9th Ward Pickin' Parlor is Mullins' newest album, out last year on Vanguard.
NIGHT MOVES

PART BEAR
(Go Bar) Local songwriter Gray Griggs teams up with Robin Cofer and Rhythm Token's Will Begnaud to form this new classic-rock-leaning band.
THE PEABODIES
(Mercury Lounge) Local band playing "straightahead jazz, blues and gospel" standards and originals. 8 p.m.
'POWERS
(Caledonia) This new five-piece band making its club debut tonight features members of aggressive local acts like Cinemechanica, We Versus the Shark, Coulier and 300 Cobras. What've they got in store? It's a quadraphonic attack, with four guitarists situated in four sonic corners and one drummer.
RACHEL PRIDDY
(Allen's) Soulful acoustic folk-rock.
SO MANY DYNAMOS
(Caledonia) In 2004, St. Louis' So Many Dynamos released the debut full length When I Explode to some strong reviews. The band's back with Flashlights, the second full-length on Seattle's Skrocki Records, playing catchy pop rock that's chaotic, surprising and energizing, doing a swell job of capturing the group's arresting live performances.
STILL FLYIN'
(40 Watt) Former Athenian Sean Rawls (ex-Masters of the Hemisphere) heads up this multi-member rocksteady/ reggae conglomerate. The members, who also play in any number of other bands, work together for feel-good Caribbean sounds (along with a little U-Roy-esque dub and ska) that's safe for the indie-rock kids to like. Za Cloud is the newest release. See p. 29.
SWEET-TOOTH SIMPELTON & THE SIMPLETONES
(Flicker) Local four-piece band Sweet-Tooth Simpleton & the Simpletones plays country with a tongue-in-cheek, quirky take on things. Working in banjo, mandolin, stand-up bass and lap steel, among other instruments; the debut disc is called Santana's Greatest Hits.
TEA LEAF GREEN
(Georgia Theatre) This San Fran jam band has built a steady following with its live shows and recordings. Rock'n'Roll Band is the act's latest release, available as both a CD or DVD, and it sees the four-piece dabbling in more rockin' styles, a little like The Faces crossed with Gov't Mule.
UNKNOWN HINSON
(Tasty World) Vampiric rockabilly and country rock from the strange, campy character Unknown Hinson. Kind of like Redneck GReece, but more, y'know… bloodsucking. Missed his last coupla shows in town? Here's another chance.
WALCOTT
(Go Bar) This local group deftly moves from pop-rock to classic rock to broader-influenced sounds, combining Young and Floyd ideas with more comfortable, Band-type work.
DAVEY WRATHGABAR
(Flicker) Politicized pop-rock sounds from former FableFactory singer-guitarist Davey Wrathgabar, who currently heads up the Visitations ensemble. Solo tonight. 8:30 p.m.
THE WRIGHTS
(Melting Point) Recently, sweetly harmonized husband/ wife duo The Wrights performed with Loretta Lynn, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Alan Jackson. Atlanta natives Adam and Shannon Wright now live in Nashville, and are releasing a self-titled EP this fall, following up the 2005 debut Down This Road.
Saturday, Oct. 6
!!!
(40 Watt) Six years after its last appearance here in town, the disco-punk band pronounced "chk chk chk" comes back to the 40 Watt stage. Anyway you slice it, you've still got highly danceable, electro-laden grooves from the seven-piece drawing on its hardcore roots with some serious polyrhythmic funk. Myth Takes is the latest album.
THE AFROMOTIVE
(Georgia Theatre) The Afromotive is a heavy-swinging nine-piece ensemble out of Asheville, NC. The band plays classic polyrhythmic afrobeat with a nod towards funk and improv, and released an album this past spring.
CHRIS McKAY & THE CRITICAL DARLINGS
(Little Kings) Drawing equally on '80s power-pop like the Cars and earlier stuff like the Kinks, frontman Chris McKay has a sharp lyrical turn for every melodic offering of his bandmates. Lineup changes have expanded the band to a four-piece, and the guys've been at work on new material.
THE CUBS
(Go Bar) Think simple garage rock along the lines of The Strokes, and you've got an idea of what this young local quartet is working its way towards, though there's a slightly rhythmic underpinning with hints of Interpol or The Rapture.
DJ BOBBY C
(Loft) Hits from the '80s, '90s and today, all night long. Every Saturday.
DJ MARK BELL
(8e's) Starting at 11 p.m. every Friday and Saturday, local deejay Mark Bell focuses on the dancier sounds of 20 years ago.
DJRX
(Rumor) The local deejay plays party tracks, mainly current pop with old-school and country accents, many of which are his own remixes. Every Friday and Saturday.
DUBCONSCIOUS
(Georgia Theatre) Athens' politically-minded reggae heavy-hitters are back with a new EP. Stereotype, a followup to last year's double-disc album Realization, travels the bass-heavy reggae path while borrowing the best from dub (and, to a lesser degree, funk and jazz). The non-stop band - it headed up to Bonnaroo this summer - recently recruited a full horn section and stellar female backing vocalists.
DUO LUNAIRE
(Melting Point) Danijela Zezelj-Gualdi (violin) and John Huston (guitar) play classical and contemporary numbers, from Paganini to Bloch.
THE EMPTIES
(Caledonia) The local pop-rockers in the Empties combine melancholy vocals with surprisingly harmonized choruses into an interesting combination of rhythmic mope-rock and more driving hard rock. The 2006 debut EP is called Dorothy. Tonight, Peter Alvanos (Fabulous Bird) sits in on drums.
FASHION KNEE HIGH
(Tasty World) Says the band: "Rock and roll music that is bound to bite."
THE FIELD
(40 Watt) Swedish electronic musician Axel Willner performs under the name The Field, and his new album, From Here We Go Sublime, relies heavily on vibrant beats and rubbery bass lines to create something that's both dance-inducing and intellectually satisfying. See p. 31.
THE FOLK YOUS
(Flicker) Julie Dyles (Murder Beach, Big Gray) and Courtnie Wolfgang (Big Gray) play around as an acoustic guitar/ ukulele combo, providing folk-styled covers of the best in power balladry.
GRAYSON HILL
(Wild Wing Café) This smoove-rocking acoustic trio plays a variety of original songs and covers of Top 40-type pop-rock stuff.
GREAT SOCIETY
(Little Kings) This local quartet plays garagey power pop songs about girls, sounding a little like Weezer or the Cars.
ERIC HANSEN
(Melting Point) Drawing on smooth jazz and world music, Floridian classical guitarist Eric Hansen has refined what he calls a "nuevo flamenco" style, delving into the sounds of Spanish and Middle Eastern exoticism. His fifth and latest album is 360 Blue, experimenting with a contemporary jazz style and backing band including Rick Geragi and Randi Fishenfeld.
IDIOT SLOWDOWN
(Tasty World) Local rock band formerly known as Machine Gun Hand.
JEWS & CATHOLICS
(Go Bar) The North Carolina duo of Alanna Meltzer (upright bass) and Eddie Garcia (guitar, vocals, electronics) released God's Trash in February; its mellow indie-rock soundscapes come across like all of Sonic Youth's pretty parts bundled together.
JOHNNYTWENTYTHREE
(Little Kings) Cincinnati's Brianne Maier (violin), Imwalle (film and video projection), Joe Maier (bass guitar), Brian Tyree (drums, keys) and Mike Maier (electric guitar) play sprawling, mostly instrumental post rock akin to Mogwai and Sigur Rós.

He spent some time writing songs up in Maine, recruited some buddies from the Atlanta Institute of Music and is now playing folk-influenced rock numbers. Tonight, Duane Trucks (Derek Trucks' younger brother) sits in on drums.
MR. BROWN
(Chapel) Deejaying hip-hop tunes with a more upbeat, dancier vibe than his Wednesday gigs. Every Friday and Saturday night.
THE NOBILITY

(Sandy Creek Park) The annual celebration of traditional regional music is back for its 23rd year. See Box.
ORQUESTA TABOGA
(Tasty World Upstairs) Atlanta's Taboga incorporates two trumpets, two trombones, piano, bass, timbales, congas, bongos and one vocalist into its Caribbean sound, playing salsa, cumbia, merengue and more. Performing at the weekly Latin dancing event hosted by local promoters Chamo Events.

Tuesday, Oct. 9
BLUES TRAVELER
(Georgia Theatre) Probably still best-known for the upbeat, frenzied-harmonica ubiquity of its 1994 hit tune "Run-around," this long-running bluesy folk-rock act has hit numerous bumps in the road over the years, including the death of a bandmember and record label "restructuring." ¡Bastardos!, the most recent album, was released in 2005.

"TASTY TUESDAY"
(Tasty World Upstairs) This monthly event starts out as a social mixer with relaxed beats and the sounds of jazz, R&B, soul, funk and hip-hop in the background with DJ Atlas providing the mix. At around 11 p.m., the mic opens up to any who've signed up, with a dance party afterwards.

Letters of Resignation is the band's newest album.
WRONG WAY
(Georgia Theatre) Local musicians covering the music of California reggae-hip-hop-marijuana rock act Sublime.
Wednesday, Oct. 10
BIG BUSINESS
(40 Watt) With Seattle’s Jared Warren (KARP, Tight Bros) on bass and Coady Willis (Murder City Devils, Dead Low Tide) on drums, the duo blasts out crazy-intense punk rock salvation on the debut album Head for the Shallow.
THE BRUNETTES
(Tasty World) Delightfully catchy and anthemically handclappy, this indie-pop band from New Zealand can at times expand to an eight-piece lineup; for this tour, it’s around six members. Core duo of Jonathan Bree (vocals/ guitar) and Heather Mansfield (vocals, keyboard, clarinet, glockenspiel) released the EP When Ice Met Cream back in 2005, and followed it up with the new Structure & Cosmetics.
CASPER & THE COOKIES
(Caledonia) Reminiscent of bands like Talking Heads and the Beatles, local pop-rock superpower Casper & the Cookies plays a diverse set of songs built around one concept: fun. The band's infectious songs have made their way onto the newest album The Optimist's Club, a swinging and deeply layered pop construction.
AUSTIN DARNELL
(Flicker) Last week, his brother and Bellyache bandmate Caleb performed a solo show at Flicker; this week, it's Austin Darnell's turn. No word on specifics, though Caleb dipped back into '20s and '30s blues. Austin also raps with the Deaf Judges group under the name Produce Man. 8:30 p.m.
DJ SIZZLE
(Loft) Spinning the dance numbers every Wednesday.
HALLELUJAH THE HILLS
(Caledonia) Boston-based indie-rock sextet jamming out some real pop gems, sounding fuzzy and emphatic, a little like Guided By Voices collaborating with early Elf Power. Collective Psychosis Begone is the new album out now on Misra Records.
THE HEATHENS
(Little Kings) Local musicians bring out their new band, falling somewhere between "hillbilly music and alternative rock." The Heathens are vocalist-guitarist Michael Eudy (ex-One Big Eye) - who returned to town and to local music after years away - drummer Bob Fernandez (The Plague, ex-Star Room Boys) and bassist-vocalist Rob Kelleher (ex-Dime Bag). Early show, 8 p.m.
INFECTED MUSHROOM
(Georgia Theatre) The rave-happy, Israeli electronic psy-trance duo of Erez Eizen (also known as I.Zen) and Amit Duvdevani (also known as Duvdev) deliver acid-laced upbeat rhythms, raucous guitars and feverish synths, dipping into trance, hip-hop and drum'n'bass on the new album Vicious Delicious.
KIP JONES
(WOW Café) Many of Jones' own tunes split between the reflective acoustic territory of Harvest-era Neil Young and the country-infused rock of '80s-era Steve Earle. His newest album is called Downright. Every Wednesday.
"KARAOKE"
(Foxz) Every Wednesday.
"KARAOKE"
(Mell's) Every Wednesday.
KING OF PRUSSIA
(Caledonia) King of Prussia's new, deliciously well-constructed pop album Save the Scene uses shiny guitar, delayed pianos, sci-fi synths and brainy bass parts to deliver the finely-crafted and intensely catchy melodies. For fans of Belle & Sebastian, the Smiths and the Beatles.
FERRABY LIONHEART
(Tasty World) Born in Nashville and currently residing in L.A.'s Silverlake area, Ferraby Lionheart plays pop music that's lyrically focused, and his self-titled debut EP conjures thoughts of Rufus Wainwright, Elliott Smith and Elton John. Full-length out now.
MELVINS
(40 Watt) The legendary Aberdeen, WA, post-punk band has been going at it for 23 years, and the guys bring another offering of their traditional slow-grind grime rock. The group made its recorded debut 20 years ago with the aptly titled 10 Songs, and has pummeled through albums almost annually, turning out classics like Bullhead, Ozma and Stoner Witch. (This year is the first the band hasn't released an album since 1998.) Last year saw Ipecac Records release the newest studio album, A Senile Animal. The members of Melvins also spend time with acts like Tomahawk and Fantômas.
KEN WILL MORTON
(Eastwood Pub) Rough-and-tumble American rock guy Ken Will Morton, former host of the Melting Point's songwriter series, now holds court every Wednesday at the Eastwood with a revolving group of players.
MR. BROWN
(Chapel) Deejaying indie, underground and old-school hip-hop every Wednesday night.
PIRATE BOOTY CREW
(Georgia Theatre) Deejay crew out of Tucson, AZ, spinning hip-hop-influenced dance tunes. Word is there's going to be some kind of deejay-off between the Pirate Booty Crew's Captain Crunk and Atlanta's own Merkatroid.
PRIME TIME JAZZ
(Porterhouse) Drummer Tony McCutchen, bassist Chris Enghauser and pianist Jim McKillip perform jazz standards for the dinner-and-a-drink set every Wednesday.
BRIAN SMITH
(Casa Mia) Georgia Guitar Quartet member Brian Smith plays classical guitar every Wednesday night at the downtown tapas restaurant. 7:30–10:30 p.m.
TULSA
(Caledonia) I Was Submerged, the new release from Tulsa, presents Midwestern indie-rock in a not-too-complicated, open and airy way.
"UNCORKED & UNPLUGGED"
(Melting Point) Every week, local singer-songwriter Jay Markwalter opens and hosts this series which aims to focus on artists proficient in the craft of songwriting. Tonight, the spotlight shines on Briana Lane, Liz Stahler and Josh Perkins. Every Wednesday, 7 p.m.
BOBBY VALENTINO
(UGA, Georgia Hall) Special Occasion is the hooky sophomore album from Atlanta R&B smooth-talker Bobby Valentino, a frequent guest star on tracks by Ludacris and Lil' Wayne. Valentino's velvety voice presents a come-hither sound highlighting the album's singles "Turn the Page" and "Anonymous."
ANGI WEST
(Flicker) Orange Thread in a Blue Sea - that's the name of the new disc from Asheville, NC, strong-voiced singer Angi West. It should find a home with fans of mid-tempo, country-influenced piano folk rock. 8:30 p.m.
