PAGE 7 WEDNESDAY, APRIL IS, 2007 The Chariot rides into local music scene By Grant Wallace Staff Writer grannntS7@yahoo.com I Mi!? j As far as the local scene goes, the closest thing Carrollton has to a music scene will be the one time appearance of The Goo Goo Dolls at the end of this month. So unless you include the open mic nights at our local coffee shops, Carrollton is as dry as they come. Well, I’m happy to let you know that just half an hour Silence from page 5 Castillo proved to be the best bouzouki player in town (I’m not sure who else would be in the running for that award), while her band mates proved how creative they can be without bells, whistles or amps. Both Castillo and Bruneau broke out a melodica at different points during their brief set. Melodicas remind me of Augustus Pablo and that, as I often say, is a good thing. While this surprisingly different and brief show doesn’t ‘TTCcCCe'id nowhinuuN LIVE MUSIC 10:00 : r d;v Sc:jrccv Meve o css 0;' or p.rtv A.I *: % r: r • ri bit' S-,rOC)vr :. r 1 1 - A:.t 21-'. vr . r* ’: r.

With their third album (second full length) released just last week. The Chariot are one of the best neighboring local bands 1 could ask for. The Fiancee is a breath of fresh air in the often-redundant hardcore scene. Norma Jean will always be Atlanta’s baby, but Chariot are here to claim Douglasville as their own. After Josh Scogin left Norma Jean in 2003, he made The Chariot, and is currently the only remaining founding member. If you’re a fan of their past work, namely The Unsung EP, fear not. Josh and Cos. bring it all back, and measure up to their previous efforts, I thought it was good. The lyrics were easier to decipher, and songs like “Shepard’s Blood” sounded good stripped down without being completely naked. On Friday, I drove to Auburn, Al. to visit some old friends and see Small Framed Boy play at Rooster’s Rhythm and Brews. The trip was worthwhile, as the band played a long and lively set. By the end, Bruneau’s drum kit even include a gospel choir this time around too. sk n 1 JHK. J Photo Courtesy of MySpace.com For those unfamiliar fans, this isn't a band easily explained. Think more Norma Jean or Dillinger Escape Plan than Unearth or was getting wobbly and finally began to collapse. This didn’t deter him. as he earned the before mentioned “king of improvisation" title. 1 tried to get the crowd to chant “improvise”, but I don't think they were as impressed as I was. 1 try to dodge using music journalist cliches, but I can’t avoid saying that Small Framed Boy is unlike any band you’ve heard before, so check them out on MySpace and try to catch one of their upcoming shows. Killswitch Engage. Breakdowns without the breakdowns, time signatures without the time. The Fiancee isn’t just another hardcore record. I’ll admit, I've been skeptic about this kind of music in UWG to play host to poetry gala UWG Press Release The University of West Georgia and the Department of English and Philosophy will host a Poetry Gala to celebrate the university’s centennial on Friday.

Lyrics only understandable through a booklet, maybe 2 seconds of silence in an entire record, this music would fall on deaf ears the common Fall Out Boy fan. But when given mass dosages of the event will be used for student travel and research. The gala event will feature heavy hors d’oeurves, live music and an open bar. Tickets are $35 for general admission and $lO for UWG students. Faculty and community members will entertain guests in various ensembles with a keyboard, drums and bass. The Student Advisory Committee of the Department of English and Tl 11 WEST GEORGIAN' FOB and FOB wanna be’s, you’ll try the unimaginable, and that’s where the Chariot come in. As for all you fellow music connoisseurs, you will be pleasantly pleased to hear the Some Will Seek Forgiveness-esque sound of the talented Haley Williams lending her voice on Then Came To Kill. Each song title corresponds with the previous song’s title. Eg. the song before. Heard This Noise. The last track is a church hymn sung by none other than a southern baptist choir, providing for a incredibly memorable (not to mention highly contrasting) ending to one of the fullest half hours of music I’ve heard in quite some time. Philosophy nominated 100 poems published between 1906 and 2006. Ticket holders will be able to vote for their favorite top ten poems of the century. The winning poems w ill be read at the gala event throughout the evening. For more information and to purchase tickets, call 678-839-6512.
