AthFest CD Release Party


The 2013 edition of the annual AthFest Compilation CD boasts a characteristically wide range of local talent, from the sweet, melodic kindie rock of Like Totally! to the sweeping rock soundscapes of Easter Island. On Saturday, The World Famous will celebrate the official release of the comp with performances by three of its featured groups. First, Brandon Hanick of Athens expats King of Prussia will play a set of his group’s orchestral pop tunes with the help of some friends. Next up is Jared Collins’ psych-wop group k i d s, whose live show has become more sure-footed with each outing. Down-home (literal) band of brothers The Darnell Boys, preparing to release a new album of their own, will close out the evening.
