December 19  Tuesday

Laundry Room Squelchers
MuguGuymen
Music
9:00pm
$5
Noise: it's hip, it's underground, and a growing number of young people are doing it — that is, feigning insanity onstage while kicking up storms of epileptic percussion and squealing-pig distortion. Unfortunately, a lot of these scenesters aren't too terribly weird (much less threatening). And that's why checking out the Laundry Room Squelchers , a loose-knit collective of authentic outsiders from Miami, is such an imperative. Led by this dude Rat Bastard, a veteran noise freak who also annihilates his electric ax as a member of To Live and Shave in L.A., the Squelchers not only turn rock ‘n' roll into a derailed locomotive and slam it straight into a brick wall, but the group comes off as a huge what-da-f*ck mess of psychologically damaged soldiers AWOL from that army known as American society. 
-Justin F. Farrar

African Greys
&more!!
Music
9:00pm
$5
North Carolina's Femme Covert and EAR PWR provide seriously crooked renditions of synth-ridden dancables while locals African Greys and Me & Him Call it Us spoon out equal servings of rock and roll and hardcore dementia. Tree Creature plays odd man out as a soothing synth duo tasting of soaring fanfares and treacherous water features.

Miscellany

October’s Podcast
We devoted lots of time to a revisiting of the Atlanta underground/ indie scene of the early/mid 1980s, with previously unreleased recordings by 86, Pillowtexans, Vietnam and Amalgamated Cliff Divers; there's a show at Eyedrum on Oct. 7th that has lots of people from these bands performing for the first time in many years. After the retro fix, we played a few songs by Tunnels, Acid Mothers Temple and Hubcap City, all recorded live at Eyedrum in the past month. We closed with Tuna Helpers (performing Oct. 11th) and a short piece by avant garde luminary Jack Smith. 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. For those of you who are familiar with podcasting, please click on podcast. (http://www.eyedrum.org/radioshow.xml ) You can also just download the whole show (right click on "download") although be forewarned that the file is over 50 MB in size. If you’re having trouble, respond to this email… we can help!
