“Sprockets Music
+ Video Show”
40 Watt Club
What started out sev
eral years back as a venue
for scrappy and often
amateurish attempts at
music videos has evolved
into a full-fledged show
case of local talent
Sometimes it takes artists
in Athens a year or two
to catch on to things,
and that seemed to be the case as the town realized, "Hey, these Sprockets folks really mean
it" Sprockets, put on by the dedicated folks of Film::Athens, returns this year to highlight
the meeting of skills both locally musical and locally filmic, and unlike in years past focuses
mainly on a screening of music videos.
Athens ex-pat and Sprockets mainstay Jorge Torres returns as expected, offering up his
apoplectic color-saturated style in videos for both Dark Meat and the Ginger Envelope, while
former ftogpo/e-columnist-from-way-back-when John Britt also serves up a double dose by
helming an Inflatable Orchestra video and one for Nutria.
A few musicians take the director's oedit for their own videos, including Venice is Sinking's
Lucas Jensen, Cracker frontman David Lowery and shadowy local pop group Blak Thor. A little
bit of the past even comes alive with a video for classic Athens band Bar-B-Q Killers, directed
by Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records chief Mike Turner and Flagpole writer Gordon Lamb.
The collection of videos—17 in all—also contains entries from Kite to the Moon, Push! and
the Drive-By truckers.
Scheduled to start at 10 p.m., Sprockets is free if you've got an AthFest wristband, $5
if you don't Make sure to stick around until the end, as that's when voting opens for the
Audience Choice Award. To find out who wins both the judges'—five local and national folks
involved in music and/ or film—and audience's pick, show up at the 2007 Flagpole Athens
Music Awards at the Morton Theatre on Thursday, June 22. See p. 27. [Chris Hassiotis]
