Friday, July 21 Normaltown Flyers, Stolen Bones One Love Music & Dance Hall One of the increasingly rare chances to hear the Normaltown Flyers in Athens with an All- Star comes this weekend. Brian Burke has been spending a lot of time in Nashville writing songs, and other Flyers are involved in other projects (Andy Carlson is teaching in Ohio), so they just don't all get together that much. At the One Love, the lineup will be Brian on gui tars and vocals, Pearce Quinter on drums, Tom Ryan on bass and vocals, THE Davis Causey on guitar and vocals, Andy Carlson on fiddle, guitar and vocals and Earl Murphy on fiddle. The Flyers will play some of their traditional stuff and a lot of songs Brian has recently written. At 11 p.m., the Flyers will morph into the Stolen Bones and play a set of Rolling Stones covers. "We get to do our own thing and then cut loose and have some fun," Brian says. What kind of music is the Flyers' own thing? "We used to call our music 'pickup truck rock and roll,'" Brian says, "but it's gotten more country since I've been in Nashville. But pickup truck rock and roll is still a pretty good description."

The philosophy behind the trio always seems to be "Keep moving, keep doing it." Guitarist David Matysiak and drummer Tom Naumann have spent most of the year building on the band's already solid foundation in the Athens scene, gaining attention for its aggres sive, guitar-heavy sound and emo-core lean ings. The band released a limited-edition, self- recorded album on disc titled Autumn Means It's All Downhill in 1998. A self-titled, four-song EP followed in early '99. Both had a lot of the feel of early Hum, Fugazi and Pavement According to Matysiak, the band is currently finishing its third proper release—a ten-song collection tentatively titled Please Unring The Bell—with engineer Matt Goldman at Glow In The Dark Studio in Atlanta. "There'll be some different instrumentation, says the frontman. "There's a more 'space-rock' influence, a wider range of musical elements, and Amy's singing more. Hopefully it will flow welL" A blueprint for those still uninitiated into the world of Jet By Day everywhere: • Use of severe dynamics: Check. • Matysiak pitching an on-stage fit Check • Mention of troubled relationships: Check • Slightly controversial question: Check • Gig write-up with possible hint of positive crowd reaction: Check.
