Friday, November 9 Dead Confederate, Summerbirds in the Cellar, Warm in the Wake, Twin Powers 40 Watt Club - If one of the goals of this whole music thing is to convince people to give your work a chance, then it's a little surprising that more bands don't go the route of making a big deal out of a new CD by offering copies up for free. Sure, some local bands put their tunes up online for free download, but there's something about the tangible CD with artwork and everything that lends a little gravity to the process. When Venice is Sinking gave copies of their debut album Sony About the Flowers to anyone who paid to get in to their CD release show in April of '06, the band ensured that, if nothing else, lots of potential local fins would at least give the disc a spin or two. Dead Confederate and Summerbirds in the Cellar are going the same route at this week* end's 'hew, though in limited numbers. Both bands are hitting town with new releases in tow, and the first 50 people through the door will get a free copy of Summerbirds' new full-length Druids as well as a copy of Dead Confederate's new self-titled EP. What's in store for those who take the guys up on their offer? Druids glistens with studio polish and ambitious rock volume, and though the band has moved back to its native Florida, you'll hear touches of Summerbirds' year spent in Athens. Dead Confederate opens with the acoustic lament "Memorial Day Night" before upshifting into the Atlanta/ Athens band's grinding, grunge-y Southern rock; the guys have a full-length in the works, and that's due in spring of'08. Warm in the. Wake opens the night, while Twin Powers spins tunes between bands. [Chris Hassiotis] Artist/Scholar Series. Room 102. 706-542-1511.
