*** Dead Confederate*** SoCo Music Fest*** 06.28.08 I promise that this will be the last SoCo post for the day. Heather wrote a very nice piece over at Paste and Castro played with his new toy. I wish I had more to report about. The good ol’ Athens boys looked very awkward on stage to…

::: Gnarls Barkley::: SoCo Music Fest::: 06.28.08 I feel kind of bad. The guys sounded like they were giving it their all on stage and they were a tad on the boorish side. I don’t know if it was all the hype from their first album, or was it the crowd only being familiar with…
*** Blonde Redhead*** SoCo Music Fest*** 06.28.08 In a rare chance to catch this band live, I pounced on the opportunity and needless to say, I was not disappointed. The female/male vocal exchange is one of my favorite parlor tricks in the game. The shoegazy antics peaked the interest of a very tired danced out…
*** Hot IQ’s*** SoCo Music Fest*** 06.28.08 It had been a long time since I had caught up with the kids with big brains that so happen to play music. At first I must admit that I was a bit apprehensive that they were going to have to battle over who would reign supreme in…
::: Bassnectar::: SoCo Music Festival::: 06.28.08 Bassnectar was around before Girl Talk, but the only way I could describe him to people live was like a hippie/dub Girl Talk.

UNKLE UNKLE is churning out new material as fast as gas prices are going up…. I like the consistency on the new track and make sure you check out their other free tracks in the upcoming weeks. I guess everybody’s on the give your album out for free business model. UNKLE-Kaned and Abel [mp3] ——–UNKLE…
Protest! Protest! Protest! Under the Radar is coming out with their protest issue that you can skim it here. I don’t think it could have come at a better time… As with Under the Radar’s 2004 Protest Issue, publishers Mark and Wendy Redfern asked an eclectic array of artists to contribute to the 2008 issue….
