Welcome to the Flagpole Athens Music Directory. One of the qualities of our scene is the DIY attitude that allows anyone and everyone to participate in local music - you don't need an "in" with the biz here, or industry connections, just a little bit of creativity, drive and a friendly smile or two. That said, do-it-yourselfing can be rough without a little help from your friends. And with the depth of the local scene, who better to help than your friends at Flagpole, the Athens alt-weekly paper and number one source covering local music, movies, art, politics, food and news.
The Flagpole Athens Music Directory is a constantly updated, constantly up-to-date online directory of the different facets of the local music scene. We've got contact info for all the active bands in town, numbering in the hundreds! You can also check out MP3 samples and photos from the bands. Need to find a place to play? Check out our Venues section, for information about both traditional club venues and others like restaurants and cafés that offer regular live music. Looking to get your t-shirt printed? Poster designed? Lawsuit averted? The Services category dives into all the locals who can help you on your way. And don't forget the studios, record labels and promoters! When laying down that hot new rap or diving into a scorching blues lick, if it ain't recorded good, it ain't gonna sound good, and nobody's gonna want to buy it.
Everything starts locally, and learning to navigate the Athens scene is easiest when teaming up with other locals. The tight-knit, supportive nature of Athens music is one of our greatest boons - take advantage of what's out there.
