What a month March has been! KIRKWOOD BALLERS CLUB
blew the f*ck up and I got locked up in Dekalb County
jail for a brief stint. I thought I was leaving the
house for a minute to get some cream for my coffee,
sugar and cigarettes and the next thing I know I?m on
my way to jail again. I didn?t get back to my home
until 36 hours later and just in time to go to work at
8:30am. Funny thing is that the cream was still good
even though it was left in the vehicle I was driving
illegally for the duration of my unexpected visit.
Needless to say my coffee was way cold when I
returned. One of the many highlights from being up in
that trailer, as there were many, was meeting Bobby
Brown. He served me up four slices of white bread and
some bologna in a plastic baggie. He?s a trustee over
there, which basically means he gets to wear a blue
uniform and wander the premises unsupervised. I wore
the bright orange get up and was confined in a big
fish tank situated next to the trans-gendered inmates
who actually looked pretty good BTW. I couldn?t resist
so I hollered, ?sup shawty!? through the glass.
Another surreal encounter was getting to speak with
former Dekalb County Sheriff Sydney Dorsey?s daughter
who still works at the jail even though her father
ordered Sheriff Elect Derwin Brown to be gunned down
in his driveway.
Speaking of the Dirty ATL, have you seen the walls
lately? They?re littered with flyers everywhere you
look. Atlanta will surely burn again.
I?ll see some of you tonight at KBC. Once again, peep
this link for more interactive info.

The One AM Radio
The Flakes
Blue Hour
all ages
10:00pm
$5
presented in association with Stickfigure Distro
The fall always brings me down. Over the last couple
of days my life has been weird. On Wednesday I had a
kid in a band called the Flakes stand up on stage in
front of 150 people and tell everyone that I was in a
band called Bully and that Greg Nicoll liked me and
that we sucked and you shouldn't come see us. He
called me a "dickhead" repeatedly and then proceeded
to tell off everyone at The Star Bar. I let him keep
going because sometimes it's better to let a flame
burn out as opposed to squelching it. I never realized
that I was in a position (professionally) to be poked
at. I still don't think I am. He was a kid with a
chemical imbalance that has been pissing off every
booking agent, soundman and bartender in town by being
an asshole. Kid, I admire the punk spirit, I even
embrace it more than anyone in my peer group, but if
you want to change the world (or get laid, they walk
hand in hand) you have to realize who your audience is
and appeal to the lowest common denominator. It is
easy to piss people off. It's a lot harder to get them
to embrace you.

tuesday 6- eyedrum
Andreas Tilliander
Normal Music
Mr. Mips
all ages
8:00pm
$8
To be a good poet, the first thing you should do is to
stop sleeping at night. And the same should apply for
music, when the music is of the kind Andreas
Tilliander makes: poetic in the sense that every
sound, every part, is there for a reason. Andreas
Tilliander's name has, in the last two years, gone
from complete oblivion to become almost synonymous
with the so-called 'clicks & cuts' movement that has
blossomed in the last few years. The attention came
with the album 'ljud' on the esteemed Mille Plateaux
record label, which gained reputation far beyond the
narrowest electronic music circles. The interest for
his music has never been greater and Atlanta is in for
a special evening.
wednesday 7- eyedrum
Tracy + the Plastics
King Cobra
all ages
9:00pm
$7
Tracy and the Plastics is a low-fi, art punk band from
Washington, consisting of Tracy, Nikki, and Cola. All
three are alter egos of Wynne Greenwood, who assumes
the role of bandleader Tracy, with Nikki and Cola
present only as video projections. The electronic
keyboard and drum-machine music is complemented by the
off-beat interactions between Tracy and her virtual
band members. She is also a featured artist in the
2004 Whitney Biennial Exhibition.
saturday 10- eyedrum
Vastopol
Rat Threads
Mr. Mips
Tom Delaney(solo acoustic set)
all ages
9:00pm
$5
Vastopol (Brian Montero on lap steel/laptop, Alex
Lambert on drums)- with video by Doug Rednour. Prepare
to be mesmerized when the notes fill the room.
Rat Threads - Randy Castello (guitar, vox), Bradford
"no one tells me when to play" Cox (guitar, vox), and
Alex Lambert (drums) play to backdrop video
collaboration by Sophia Coppola and Ted Turner
specifically created for this Rat Threads appearance.
Sophia and Ted will field questions from audience, but
not at the same time. Bradford "no one tells me when
to play" Cox will moderate questions between artist,
press and audience.
Mr Mips (aka James Parker on electronics) - with video
by James Parker on " "how to" squash people in Atlanta
with conflicting agendas other than your own. Hands
will be broken, so if you got beef with James, you may
want to sit this one out. He's a bitter motherfucker.
Tom Delaney- solo acoustic set from Tom Delaney of
Tragic Plastic will play guitar, dance and sing
feverishly with a interpretive dance routine by the
tight ho?s network division. For all you PC
motherfuckers, ho is slang for beautiful woman. Now
you know.
tuesday 13- echo lounge
Savath & Savalas
Juana Molina
Kopernik
Nobody
18 and up
9:00pm
$12
Following an extremely successful three years as
Prefuse 73, Atlanta?s wayward son, Scott Herren,
returns to the Echo Lounge with his more laidback
Savath & Savalas project. Continuing his journey
through beautiful melodic territories started over
four years ago when the project began. Loosely based
around Herren?s own search for his cultural roots in
Barcelona and collaboration with unknown Catalan
singer/songwriter Eva Puyuelo Muns, it evokes the
weird colours of Kevin Shields and Jack Nietzsche,
while simultaneously existing as a Spanish folk album.
Enveloped by an amazing ensemble of musicians
featuring Lori Scacco (east devs), Jon Philpot(bear in
heaven, east devs) and Josh Abrams(Town and Country)
wednesday 14- echo lounge
Liars
Young People
Get Hustle
18 and up
9:00pm
$12
If Performance are the sound of someone storming drunk
into a discotheque and showing off, then Liars are the
sound of someone drinking alone in their bedroom,
frowningly arseing around with a malfunctioning PC,
WISHING they were showing off in a discotheque. You
can?t dance to this, you can?t shag to this, you
CERTAINLY can?t relax to this, but by God, it?s
fantastic ? a gut-churning bass riff that sounds like
the dissatisfied grumbling of some giant malevolent
grandpa with no basic vocabulary, and a shrill vocal
pitched somewhere between ?am currently being
force-buggered? and ?am still being force-buggered,
but this time by a rhino? in its levels of pained
hysteria.
monday 19- drunken unicorn (mjq)
Deerhoof
Gong fodder
Deerhunter
all ages
9:00pm
$7
Every band, no matter how bad, is a kind of tiny
miracle. Those that do their own songs - especially
collectively written ones - seem even more miraculous.
At what point do they decide that their music is
"ready for the world"? When is a song "done"?? Bands
like The Magic Band, The Shaggs, The Fall, Sonic
Youth, Polar Goldie Cats, and The Minutemen are among
those who seem to possess this ineffable chemistry.
Add to that list Deerhoof, and while you're at it, put
them way up there, because that's where they belong.
-Nels Cline

Four Tet
SunBurned Hand of the Man
all ages
10:00pm
$8
Ecstatic jazz, folk music and hip-hop have been
concerns of Kieran Hebden?s since he debuted as Four
Tet back in 1998. His recent critically lauded third
album, ?Rounds? on Domino records, creates a palette
where an ethnic-electronic sound meets with hip-hop
production techniques, and lush samples are arranged
with neo-classical beauty.
Over the last several months the Massachusetts-based
Sunburned Hand of the Man has created quite a bit of a
buzz for themselves in the underground free
noise/psych/punk/folk/what have you set. They've moved
from a collective who has won over fans from show to
show with their own brand of twisted, free-flowing
music to a prominent position within the cover story
of August's issue of The Wire "New Weird America"
cover story. Totally cool.
saturday 24- echo lounge
Squarepusher
18 and up
9:00pm
$15
Like his Warp cohort, Aphex Twin, Tom Jenkinson - aka
Squarepusher - illustrated himself as one of the
beat-choppers supreme of UK electronica. The son of a
jazz drummer, Tom Jenkinson releases jazz-tinged
breakbeat material on several imprints including Warp
records and Robert Cheatham's ED recordings imprint.
He will fuck you up live if you show up and hopefully
he'll be there too at the Echo Lounge. Seriously!!
monday 26- echo lounge
Blonde Redhead
18 and up
9:00pm
$15
Kazu Makino is from Japan and Simone and Amedeo Pace
(twin brothers) are from Italy. The band name, Blonde
Redhead, comes from a song by the band DNA, a New York
City based group which existed in the early '80's. A
band they all love and more... Life and Music:
Bounding them tightly together to the point of
confusing them. This has been Blonde Redhead's way of
life since first meeting. In a restaurant in New York
city they came together by chance, and have been a
band ever since.
tuesday 27- echo lounge
Peaches
The Spooks
18 and up
9:00pm
$12
Rock'n'roll how it should be performed live- No one
does it as well as Peaches can. Her vagina is so big
it?s omni present. It?s everywhere. I?m up in it right
now and so are you whether you know it or not. If
you?ve never seen Peaches live, then keep your
opinions away from me because her pussy is getting so
loud that I?m unable to hear you.
The unholy music of Peaches will come to Atlanta on
this day and there will be an after party on this
night. Bet.
The Spooks feature members of Deer Hunter and the
Black Lips. As you can imagine, debauchery will ensue.
I hear they?re planning on going big for this show.
The better go ANIGAV GIB type big for this show.
May 2004
wednesday 19- echo lounge
eX-girl
18 and up
9:00pm
$10
eX-Girl are a beautiful example of information
overload. Jagged 3 part vocal harmonies, adventurous
arrangements, and songs that hook you like the sucker
that you are. Take all of these treats, wrap it in an
ultra-bright technicolor live show with surreal
homemade costumes, and you've got the sensation of
being strapped in on an out-of-control carnival ride
that will leave you standing in line waiting for
another turn.
-MIKE PATTON

tuesday 15- echo lounge
Acid Mothers Temple
18 and up
9:00pm
$12
Collective led by Kawabata Makoto. There are currently
around 30 members, famous and unknown, musicians,
artist, dancers, farmers etc. In order to follow and
document their multifarious activities, in 1998 the
Acid Mothers Temple family record label was set up.
The Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O.
group is just one part of collective's activities.
This will be AMT's second appearance in the ATL
July 2004
monday 5- drunken unicorn (mjq)
Gravy Train!!!!
all ages
9:00pm
$7
Three girls giving. One man taking. All touching and
rubbing themselves. Violently striking pelvii.
Slapping asses. Humping walls. Spreading thighs.
Bloodying bare feet on broken beers. Stripping
short-shorts down to leotard skivvies. Harnessing air
dildoes and burying them deep in both eager and
sheepish boy butts alike.
