“Underneath The Covers”
40 Watt Club
The latest craze in Athens benefit
concerts has been to put on shows
centering around sets of cover songs,
and why not? It's a way to catch lo
cal artists you may have seen several
times (and perhaps are already tired
of) lending their style to different
materiaL and it's handy for drawing
in fans of established stars who may
not be familiar with the locals doing
the interpreting. It worked earlier
this year with the 40 Watt's "Gimme
Shelter" and "Finest Worksongs"
benefits, when local acts tackled the
Rolling Stones and R.E.M., respec
tively.
This week's World AIDS Day ben
efit charts the same course, though
its scope broadens somewhat to
music of the late '60s and early 70s.
Local songwriter J.S. Dillard and his {
band Honey will perform a set of T. Rex tunes, while The Late B.P. Helium rams through the
back catalog of Wings and Paul McCartney. The '60s-pop connoisseurs in The Vinyl Strangers
will tone things down & bit to offer up Cat Stevens tunes, and local songbird Madeline chan
nels Lucinda Williams. A stripped-down set from the core members of Dark Meat closes things
out, and the band will perform a fun start-to-finish rendition of a seminal album by one of the
band's biggest influences, though in an effort to build suspense, all involved are keeping mum
about exactly what it'll be—show up to find out, yeah?
DJ Mahogany spins tunes before, between and after the sets, and the local rollerderby
squad Classic City Rollergirls will be on hand skating around.
Tickets cost $8 in advance and S10 at the door, with money raised going to the MAC AIDS
Fund and AIDS Athens. Advance tickets are available now at SchoolKids Records and Wuxtry
Records, as welt as the MAC Counter at the Belk department store at the Georgia Square Mall.
