Data!...the enigmatic substance of science, computation, government reports, and your own much-beloved dept. of human resources...the Atlanta Poets Group and friends weave a wondrous spell of poetry & performance out of the stuff that digital and bureaucratic dreams are made of!

January 20  Saturday

Rising Appalachia
Team Gina
Divided Like A Saint’s
Music
9:00pm
$5

Rising Appalachia
Sisters Leah and Chloe concoct beautiful appalachian-inspired songs backed by the unlikely yet surprisingly perfect addition of tribal hand percussion. the music is guaranteed to charm and impress even the most stoic of listeners with plenty of fiddlin', pickin, and heartbreaking vocal harmonies. the live show glimmers with fresh morning air and sweet barefoot nostalgia. 

Team Gina

From the website:
"GINA BLING and GINA GENIUS, two hyper fly ladies with verbal dexterity and excellent taste in shoes. TEAM GINA has synchronized dance routines that will blow your mind. TEAM GINA has phat beats and hype rhymes for days. TEAM GINA has matching outfits that will make you cry. TEAM GINA has taken over their hometown of SEATTLE, WASHINGTON with a monthly 80s/electro/hiphop night at which they are resident performers, which some degenerates have described as "the best party Seattle has ever seen." 

Divided Like a Saint's
sort of like that rock and roll nightmare we all have where your teeth fall out and your guitar fingers are too paralized to play your part. as familiar corridors and musical passages lead to bizarre slumber-induced locales and you struggle to remember how you made it all the way to the stage with no pants on...then, Divided Like a Saint's show up like a hypnogogic jerk and make your ears cry out in the night... equal parts beautiful and beastly but always a pleasure. 


January 21  Sunday

Eyedrum Benefit featuring:
Grace Braun
Long Knives
and more!
Music
8:00pm
$5
Benefit show for the ol' eyedrum featuring the music of local aural vernacularists...
Grace Braun-singer/guitarist for hardcore pop explorers DQE, Grace paints ever so lovely musical portraits with her country tinged guitar and hauntingly beautiful voice. Do not miss her lovely set.
Long Knives-Atlanta's own, they combine strong "americana" singer/ songwriting with hazy psychedelia (that's "shoegazing" for you uninitiated)...really great.
Jason Mcgee and co.-songs of heartache and joy centered around the finger pickin' prowness of banjo player/singer jason macgee...so nice. 

one or two more tba...

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.
