News! Tasty World – Friday the 13th
This Friday Tasty World will host four garage rock bands. The first fifty people to arrive will receive a pin promoting Television Buzz that is also good for a free burrito at the downtown Taco Stand. Television Buzz will kick off the show, which begins at 10 p.m. With already over 41 radio stations playing their single “Treasure Chest”, and a record deal with Glass Bag Records, Television Buzz is sure to refresh your ears. The Empties will follow their set, starting around 11 p.m. With nearly 2,500 friends on MySpace, this Athens based band is steadily putting roots in Atlanta. They introduced their five-track EP on WUOG 90.5 FM’s “Live in the Lobby” in late February, and one track, “It’s Not Me” has racked up 13,500 plays on MySpace. Band Marino, who cite influences from the The Pixies to Radiohead, will follow The Empties. “They’re flippin’ awesome,” Maryann Hyunn, a senior at the University of Georgia said of Band Marino. “It’s going to be a great show.” Band Marino released their first full-length album in December. Around the same time, they also did the soundtrack/score to the feature film The Last Romantic, which is currently playing at both U.S. and international film festivals. Hey Revolution, an Orlando based band that now cites Athens as home, will headline the show. Jason Ellis, the lead singer, started his music days long ago, but toured solely as an acoustic act. “I kind of had this vision of doing an acoustic rock and roll, full band-type thing,” Ellis told Flagpole. “But it was always hard to get players and put everything together.” Friday night these bands will prove their strength to draw crowds and put on a big show. “I haven’t heard music from all the bands, but I’m excited about the show,” said Stephen King, a local Athens musician. The bottom line? Come out for some catchy tunes that go above and beyond your typical 99x rock n’ roll. For more information, visit the bands’ websites (shown below). Televison Buzz consists of John Alford (bass, vocals), Brent Cash (drums, vocals) and Kris Langley (guitars, vocals). www.myspace.com/tvbuzz The Empties consists of Athens locals Matt Knutson (vocals, guitar), Ben Wills (bass), Josh Lewis (guitar) and Dan Buttars (drums). www.myspace.com/theempties Band Marino consists of Nathan Bond (guitar, vocals, keys), Jonathan Nee (banjo, keyboard, train whistle, slide whistle, mandolin, vocals), Abraham Couch (Upright, fretless, and other bass related instruments), Jesse Adams (guitar, vocals, mandolin) and Dylon York (drums, percussion). www.myspace.com/bandmarino Hey Revolution consists of Jason Ellis, Jeff Rieter, and TJ Young. www.myspace.com/heyrevolution |
