Atlanta Music Guide

Black Keys’ Drummer Patrick Carney's New Band Drummer @ EARL, October 16 - Free Song Download

Drummer, the new band from Black Keys' Patrick Carney, is coming to The EARL on October 16, just after the September 29 release of the debut record from the band, Feel Good Together. We have a little taste of what to expect from the album in the form of a free download of the title track, which is available here. And, by the sounds of it, you can expect some nice fuzzy guitars, a good college rock sound, dreamy vocals and, obviously, some great, enigmatic, hypnotic drumming.

The band also has members from Teeth of the Hydra, Party of Helicopters, Beaten Awake, Houseguest and Six Parts Seven. All past drummers. You can buy tickets for The EARL show on Ticket Alternative starting Friday, July 10 at 10 a.m.

Free Download for Today The Moon, Tomorrow the Sun's "Never Always Good (Free Magic Remix)"

It's nearing the end of the week and for many of us it's also getting to that time when we need a little boost to see us unto the weekend.

That shove comes in the form of a free download of "Never Always Good," remixed by Brooklyn DJ Free Magic. Download the song here.

The band has a ton of Atlanta dates coming up so be sure to catch them lots this summer. They'll be at the Drunken Unicorn July 10, The Graveyard July 18, Star Bar July 23, 529 August 3, and finally back to Drunken Unicorn August 20 (tickets for that gig available here).

Win a Pair of Tickets to see New York Dolls @ Center Stage on June 12!

We have a pair of tickets to see the incredible, legendary New York Dolls at Center Stage on June 12. We recently reviewed the band's latest record, Cause I Sez So, with writer Noel Wurst saying of the band, "New York Dolls have always defied the odds against them, and their fame has always been somewhat hard to swallow for some. The fact that through three decades, they’ve managed to not only stay true to themselves, but to also churn out a handful of great tracks on every album, is a feat that not many bands can say, and is certainly something to admire." Nuff said.

To win tickets, email win@ticketalternative.com with the words "New York Dolls" in the subject.
