porn Orchard /
burst Into Flames
Thursday, Dec 10 / Chameleon Club
Porn Orchard (above) are calling it quits
Band members are looking out on their hori
zons at other interests, other things to do, and
other places to visit. According to Curtiss
Permce, “Our CO is going to come out in April
(1993], Name Your Regions, and it's going to
be the last thing we do obviously. Ill say that
we wanted to take this band through until we
got another Democratic president and after
this election we decided to hell with it* The
band has been going since 1966, has put out
two records, Urges and Angers, Heart and
Brain Raw, and have been on three vinyl
compilations and “countless, countless,
countless tapes * When asked what Curtiss is
going to do now he said, “Shit, I don't know.*
Burst Into Flames, a band from Richmond,
Virginia, will open. The band has a cassette
produced by Rob Buck of 10,000 Maniacs
and features Ten-Kay Lindsay (first cousin to
Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere and the Raiders
fame...) sings that pop stuff with an edge.
Normaltown Flyers
Froay, Dec. 11 / Georgia Tieatre
It does not take a Nashville Frank Capra to
figure out what our lives would be like without
the NormaiTown Flyers, as unpretentious as
they are consistent as they are captivating
The Georgia Theater should be a nice, spa
cious place in which to let them put you in the
holiday spirit. Country Boy's Dreams is their
latest Polygram recording with a nifty, colorful
cover at that
Vic Chesnutt / Crowsdell
Froay, Dec. 10/40 Watt Club
Vic's West Of Rome CD is out on Texas
Hotel records, Spin Magazine recently said
very nice things about Nm, and he lives within
driving distance of you. He's got the most
heartbreaking voice in town, which he turns
on original compositions that affirm all that’s
wonderful and worthless about waking up
every morning and driving down Prince Av
enue. Or whatever street it is that takes you
wherever it is you go. Imagine Cat Stevens
having recurrent febrile seizures and receiv
ing hallucinatory stream of consciousness
letters from Flannery O’Connor in Milledgeville
breaking off their engagement over and over
again. Crowsdell are driving a long way from
Northern Florida just to bask in the presence
of the great one. Crowsdell puts out some
pop-hop pin' tunes with an acoustic-electric
touch. At least that's what they sounded like
the last time I heard them. But living in Florida
does strange things to one's body and soul
so who knows what the mule train will bring...
5-8 / MICHAEL LACHOWSKI DISCO
Saturoay, Dec. 19/40 Watt Club
If you can write a pop song better than
‘God Damn it Paul,* which you canX well call
your crummy outfit the best live band in
Athens. Five-Eight (right) might have kinks in
the vinyl, but the live show is all passion and
sweat. If you haven't purchased their Sky
______ debut, / Learned
ShutUp already for that spe *
cial someone’s stocking,
better gefonthe ball. What's
wrong with you, anyway? Re
main after the show if the
adrenalin is still pumping in
your veins and shake it off
with Michael Lachowski’s
get-down, get-crazy, shake-
yer-booty-'til-ya’-drop disco
bash It is all so festive...
Reversing Hour
/ Otter I Bliss
Wed , Dec 9 / Hoyt Street North
How many bands you know of have cov
ered Brian Eno songs? Besides mentioning
Ultravox, I won't even venture a guess, but I
do know his stuff isn't like picking up the latest
Top 40 song book Reversing Hour, out of
Atlanta, took the opportunity to display their
wit and stamina by including Eno’s “Kings
Lead Hat* — amongst their many original
tracks on their Little Fish Platters release
Riddle of the Monkey Suit Otter is another
band all together pimping out '60s influ
enced explosions of otterty gut paddling gui
tar piddling wetting their audience with mush
splish and splatter Get thee to a purmery ...
And Bliss — they'll lay some heavier stuff on
you just to keep you on your toes . .
Going Sane /
Strange Attractors /
Caroline Aiken
Wednesday & Thursday,
Dec. 9-10 6 16-17 / Last Resort
The Last Resort is opening up the front
bar room to some varied types of stuff (just tor
you). Take Dec. 9, Going Sane, a sort of
eclectic group of mop-top musicians as
sembled originally on the street as a busking
band by Rick San Miguel, or the 10th with the
Strange Attractors or Dec. 16 when Atlanta's
songstress Carolyn Aiken takes the stage,
and ending the week with the Strange
Attractors once more on Dec. 17. Shows

Santa Claus and
the Lost Planet Reindeer
Froay, Dec 25 / Your Chuney
Here's a band you won't want to miss,
complete with surprises and goodies for those
that have been good. Mixing in elements of
reggae, ska. a touch of madrigal music, Bul
garian choir singing, and klezmer, Claus gets
up in Ns big red outfit and belts out wave
upon wave of celestial sounds. They've got
several recordings available on the North
Pole label, produced by helper Danny Elf-
man, that feature the sounds and smells (it's
scratch'n'smff vinyl) of arctic creatures. You've
never heard a killer whale or walrus sound so
mellifluous. Don't be shy... bring warm milk
and cookies for admission
