VARIETY
Adult Swim hits
downtown tonight
By JOHN BARRETT
The Red & Buck
You’ve no doubt seen it
on every college Stoner’s
TV set late at night, but
have you ever seen it in a
parking lot in downtown
Athens?
Yes, Cartoon Network’s
legendary Adult Swim is in
the middle of its block
party tour around the
United States —and the
Classic City is its destina
tion tonight.
More specifically, Adult
Swim and company will be
setting up camp in the
parking lot right next to
the 40 Watt Club in down
town Athens. Among the
festivities the event will
offer include carnival
games galore, a video gam
ing area, raffles for video
games from Capcom and
phones from T-Mobile, cre
ating custom T-shirts, and
much more all tied
together by themes related
to popular Adult Swim
shows.
Perhaps best of all,
though, the block party
will feature free music,
including performances by
Brooklyn experimental
rock band Here We Qo
Magic as well as Athens'
own pop-rock darlings The
Modem Skirts.
“From what I know,
they [Adult Swim] seem
like really interesting peo
ple," said Peter Hale, Here
We Go Magic’s drummer.
“To make shows like that,
you have to be interesting.
I don’t think any of us in
our band own a TV, but I
love Aqua Teen Hunger
Force,' and they seem to
have a knack for the
absurd, which we can real
ly relate to.”
Despite having only one
album under its belt, Here
We Go Magic has already
been exposed to a wide
audience via its tour last
summer with Grizzly Bear.
The brainchild of singer/
multi-instrumentalist/
songwriter Luke Temple,
Here We Go Magic started
as a one-man band and,
over time, amassed four
other members in a sort of
snowball effect. Hale
joined up with Temple
ADULT SWIM
BLOCK PARTY

MAGIC and THE MODERN
SKIRTS

first, followed by guitarist
Michael Bloth and key
boardist Kristina
Lieberson.
Now, one year later,
Here We Go Magic has
wrapped up their second
album, “Pigeon” the first
album to feature the cur
rent incarnation of the
group.
“We try to make music
like we’re the first people
to ever make music, to
some degree,” Hale said.
The Modern Skirts,
though hardly a stranger
to Athens, is taking advan
tage of the Adult Swim
block party in its own way:
the band plans to deliver a
set of completely unre
leased material, pulled
from its forthcoming third
studio album.
“Our new music is com
pletely different in so many
ways,” said Phillip
Brantley, guitarist/bassist/
vocalist for the Skirts, who
has been watching Adult
Swim since it debuted on
Cartoon Network. “It’s
more stripped down, and it
incorporates more syn
thetic beats. It’s very
rhythmic in a way our
other stuff hasn’t been.”
Although the quartet is
known for musical collabo
ration, Brantley stated
things will be slightly dif
ferent this time around.
“Most of the new stuff is
coming from our lead sing
er Jay [Gulley],’’ Brantley
said. “He has this collec
tion of analog keyboards,
mostly from the ’Bos, and
he just finds these beats
and has been writing some
really great, interesting
stuff that he never thought
would become part of our
catalog.”
