January 4  Thursday

First Thursday Open Improv
Music
9:00pm
$Free
OK, like, you remember that great Hictchcock film where the entire movie one long shot from begining to end, with clever ways of making transitions? That, my friend, is your task...except sonically speaking of course. More info at the event!
Anything goes at Eyedrum's monthly open improv night as a gaggle of Atlanta jazz aficionados & freaked out freebirds come together in a celebration of skrinks, skronks and experimental whispering and wailing. Reined in by Eyedrum Executive Director Robert Cheatham, the Thursday night event is a marathon of cool, spaced out and bizarro sounds laid down by everything horns and drums to howling dogs.

On the first Sunday of every month, at 7 p.m., Eyedrum does a show on WREK (91.1 FM / www.wrek.org) that features nuggets from Eyedrum's archive of live performances.
After the show airs "live", you can listen to it via WREK's 7-day archive if you forget to tune in (direct links to Sunday Special streams: lo-fi or hi-fi). But wait, there's more! We now have a podcast available, for those of you who have discovered podcasting. You can also just download the whole show (right click on "download") although be forewarned that the file is over 50 MB in size. 

January 8  Monday

We Are the Music Makers
Dynamite Club
&more!
Music
9:00pm
$5
We Are the Music Makers and And This Army are on an extensive tour bringing their warped brand of metal tinged spazzy rock and roll to the hungry open ears of the world. Thier sets are both poppy and menacing and full of palpable energy.
Speaking of "spazzy", Dynamite Club seems to expound on the term with lightening strike riffage and razor blade vocals...nasty and erratic.
Locals Lay Down Mains bring up the front with some solid no nonsense rock and roll, hooks and all.
All in all a terrific show with some really amazing bands. Fans of Golden, Zeppelin, His Hero is Gone and anything in between should take heed. Click on the name below for links.

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.
