Interview w/ Shotgun Opera
A new double barreled symphony from shotgun opera
To say that 2009 has been a banner year for area music releases would be a vastly gross understatement. Not only has the amount of product in just the first half of this year already nearly doubled that of all of last year, the quality of releases has [...]
Interview w/ L.i.E.
Featuring former members of such bands as Jemani, Cycle, and 420 Outback (among others), Augusta rock band L.i.E. is a hard-hitting mixture of influences that fuses thick rhythms with infectious yet sometimes odd melodies to create a sound that, despite an often frantic nature, flows as evenly as the music of any other band in [...]
Interview w/ The Hot Rods
With a new CD just released April 3rd, The Hot Rods, a smokin’ Atlanta band featuring a pair of Augusta rock & rollers, have decided to motor across this great land of ours complete with guitars, alcohol, and some hot tattooed gals in a package ever so gently called “The Traveling Rock N’ Roll and [...]
Interview w/ Chairleg
Every year at Halloween the freaks and monsters emerge for a spooky good fright. But seriously, what better way to celebrate a night of ghosts and goblins than with a blood and guts night of metal? Why spend a quiet evening in a “club” listening to jazz and sipping bloody marys when you [...]

Now fronting recording/touring band The Drownout, Jones, along with pianist Heather Johnston, drummer Matt Lynch, synth player Matt Baum, and [...]
Interview w/ Dave Morgan of Ship of Fools
Throughout history rock & roll has been a way for youth to vent their repressed teen angst. Even Roger Daltry once sang, in the Who classic “My Generation” – “hope I die before I get old”. But here we are forty something odd years later and Daltry is still going strong. [...]
Interview w/ Will McCranie
Just a few of months ago, prior to his moving to New York City, we sat down and had a conversation with Will McCranie, now he’s coming back for a show at Sky City with his buddy Jacob Beltz and a few other friends. So in celebration of “Willie Mac” coming back we spoke [...]
Interview w/ The Burgundy Curtain
Described by one local online music publication as “shoegazers”, Aiken Indie/Ambient/Electronica band The Burgundy Curtain possess a sound that is a gorgeous mix of melody, enchantment and ethereal sounds that at times would seem to contradict the mere present of only the band’s two primary members singer-songwriter/multi instrumentalist Nick Del Rossi and drummer/beat creator [...]
