The plasma sharks hop from hot tub to swimming
pool to hot tub, a trick they learned from the dol
phins. (Superficial cuteness aside, dolphins are the
thugs of the sea. Ask anyone who knows.) The
plasma sharks zigzag the nation, following the
thick, medicinal smell of hubris and paranoia.
They're after your plasma. If you find your head on
a plasma shark's shoulder, you'll start to feel dizzy.
The synapses won't fire like you're used to them
firing. Just relax; it'll all be over soon.
Rumors that local musician/filmmaker Angie Grass
and friends have bought the Hole In The Wall have
been confirmed. The Hole will be reincarnated as
the headquarters for Athens' Flicker Film Society
The Flicker Bar will screen movies in 16mm, 8mm
and video formats several times a week in the room
adjacent to the bar area. You’ll be able to wash
down your cinema with a 111' al-key-haul, and yeah,
you can smoke in there. Call 369-FILM to learn
more.
The Possibilities are adding multi-instrumentalist
Jay Gonzales and guitarist Chris Graham (both
formerly of Loveapple) to the ranks. The band is
getting Gonzales on the rebound—he played his
last show as a member of Urban Henry on Tuesday,
February 8. Gonzales is hanging on to his gig as
pedal steel player with Cafeteria. Graham is also a
peripheral member of Weather Radio for those of
you playing the home game. Meanwhile, Urban
Henry has commissioned local wise-ass/door guy
extraordinaire John Britt (also a member of Hai
Karate and formerly of Stuntdouble) to fill in on
bass for the time being. UH will be rocking the
Caledonia Lounge on Saturday, February 19, with
the Ex-Impossibles.
Athens musician Steve Barry has taken the reins of
Quality Rock 103.7 FM's previously unlistenable
Sunday night showcase "Local Noise." Barry's first
shift on February 6 featured such local combos (I'm
running out of synonyms for "band," awright?) as
the Olivia Tremor Control, Weather Radio, The
Star Room Boys, Hayride, Elf Power, Jack Logan,
Stuntdouble, and Five-Eight. Members of the
DAMN! comedy troupe stopped by as well. Previous
"Local Noise" host Kendall Jones was last seen
hitting the tarmac for Columbia, SC.
The jazz posse Holloway-lindberg-Wright Trio is
taking over as AMF*s house band on every other
Sunday night, starting February 20. You may be
familiar with the guys in
this band from their reg
ular gig with Squat; they
plan to focus on jazz
standards in this new
incarnation. Maybe you
caught one of the regular
shows at Gyland's Bar &
Grill before it unexpect
edly drew its shutters in
January. The AMF shows
will start at 9 p.m.
The Olivia Tremor
Control ► will play at
the 40 Watt Club on
Thursday, February 17,
Marshmallow Coast opens
the show. Love-'em-or-
hate-'em "emo" rockers
The Promise Ring will be back in town on Friday,
March 10, soaking the floorboards of the Watt with
its sometimes comically awkward brand of pathos.
Cheap Trick comes to the Watt on Tuesday. March
14. No shit. Tickets go on sale at Big Shot and Lo
Yo Yo Records this week.
Across town, New York Latin-jazz outfit West End
Mambo is playing Tasty World (the club that really
ought to consider serving Sno-cones) on Friday,
February 25.
Meanwhile, on City Mouse's side of the sandbox,
Atlanta noise-pop band King Lear Jet is taking
over as the Wednesday night house band at the
Star Bar in Little Five Points. If you like purdy pop
music but the dnve seems like a pain in the ass,
you can catch Athens' Duraluxe at Tasty World on
Saturday, February 16.
Rumors of an unannounced Widespread Panic
show at the Georgia Theatre on Tuesday, February 8
turned out to be true. The band tned to hide
behind the moniker "Stained Souls," but Spread-
heads still bought up all the $15 tickets like they
were nose candy days beforehand. According to a
Flagpole confidant, there were "a buncha Rick
Rubin-lookin' mother
fuckers hangin' around on Lumpkin Street"
throughout the evening.
The Athens-based radio promotion firm Team
Clermont is recruiting new interns to start immedi
ately. The job offers school credit, experience, and
all kinds of music industry connections (for you
ambitious types). Music snobbery is not required.
but be prepared to cross scimitars with some of
Athens's most articulate, opinionated conversation
alists at the water cooler. Draft a resume and call
548-6008 if you're interested.
Macha (the smart hipster's boy-band) is slated to
perform at the SXSW 2000 festival in Austin. Texas
as part of a Jetset Records showcase, which will
also feature The Gunga Din and Sister Sonny.
Kevn Kinney and Japancakes are also scheduled to
perform at SXSW. in case you're looking for a ride.
The Willie Nelson show scheduled for Tuesday,
March 14 at the Classic Center has been resched
uled, probably for reasons having to do with Willie's
recent change in management. Josh Moore of Jomo
Entertainment says he's working on booking Nelson
for two nights in October. We’ll keep you posted.
If you get a picture of Col. Jack D. Ripper (from Dr.
itrangelove) stuck in your head when reading
Stomp And Stammer film cntic David T. Lindsay,
emme hear a "Hell, yeah!"
The Atlanta band Lift received some decidedly
butane-scented ink in Performer magazine
ecently. Let's hear it from the source: "The most
iptly named band in Atlanta... everyone's soon
Tying together on the most magic of carpet ndes."
I've never heard the band myself, but I'll give it a
: ew automatic points for its professed Kitchens Of
distinction influence. See for yourself at the Echo
.ounge on Friday, February 18.
