Eyedrum events August 21 – August 27, 2006

This month’s Podcast is now available! This month's show is now available and features performances by Jonathan Kane, Rising Appalachia, Bent Frequency, Daniel Clay, Tiptons Saxophone Quartet and others. The upcoming 5-day Table Of The Elements festival (Labor Day weekend) gave us a chance to play some Rhys Chatham, Tony Conrad and Sun Agustin. Finally, the Eyedrum visual arts crew came in to talk about art shows past, present and future, the Warhol grant, and the state of Eyedrum as a gallery in general. A special edition of this podcast that should not be missed!
If you don’t know what all the podcast fuss is about, a podcast is simply an audio file that you can listen to on your computer or portable mp3 player.

August 21  Monday


Black Lips
The Bumblebeats
Music
9:00pm
$5

Though barely in their 20's, Atlanta band Black Lips have already toured the US and Europe several times, released two albums on Bomp! records, lost a lead guitarist in a car crash, built a rabid cult following and earned a well deserved reputation one of the wildest live bands around due to onstage fist fights, nudity, violence, arson, projectile vomiting and other body fluids. You don't want to stand to close to the stage at a Black Lips performance. This grimy and chaotic four-piece garage-punk band truly don't give a fuck and will unintentionally prove it live time and again.

Formed with the intention to cross the sound of the Back From The Grave 60's garage compilation series with the Germs, the Lips have developed a sound unlike anyone else. Anyone familiar with the group will no doubt be a bit surprised by the sound of their latest "Let It Bloom" album which, while still skuzzy and raw, contains their catchiest and most melodic moments to date. If Royal Trux had listened to the Troggs instead of the Rolling Stones, they might sound like this (though the album does sound quite Stonesy at times).

In the Galleries:


Large Galleries:
"What Color the Dawn:
Breaking Silence on the 1906 Atlanta Race Riot"

Visual Artists Respond:
John Abner, Tony Bingham, Hermina Glass-Avery, Michael Harris, Theodore Harris, Daniel Hoover, Chea Prince, Karen Tauches

A listening station of oral histories by first and second generation witnesses will also be installed.

Curated by Kevin Sipp with Louise E. Shaw

September 22, 1906, white mobs poured into the Five Points area intent on racial violence. Inflamed by months of political rhetoric and newspaper sensationalism that fed racial fears and stereotypes, the violence against black citizens spread rapidly to East Atlanta, to Brownsville and Inman Park. In the end, at least twelve were dead, hundreds injured; fearful for their lives, many fled the city, their fates somehow erased from history. What Color the Dawn peels back the layers of this buried history in an effort to challenge our communities to re-view our shared history.

Through September 30th.

Small Gallery:
Paul Cordes Wilm


Missing!
