A Perfect Circle:
Athens Bands Play
R.E.M.’s Murmur
40 Watt Club
As much as people
like to claim that R.E.M.
was better back when
they were a "smaller"
band, the fact is that
R.E.M. got fairlybig fairly
fast. By the time Murmur,
the band's full-length
debut, was released in April 1983 the band had almost three solid years of touring under
its belt. By year's end Rolling Stone had ranked Murmur as its album of the year. While
the album's first-year sales of 200,000 were deemed somewhat low, the fact that nearly a
quarter of a million copies of this uniquely Southern, mumble-mumble, jangle-rock album
had reached listeners is still impressive. Anyone who remembers what passed for pop
music in 1983 will readily note that this was a grand achievement. -t
Athensmusic.net, the same people who brought us the "Finest Worksongs" event
in 2006, will host "Perfect Circle: Athens Bands Play R.E.M.'s Murmur" Tuesday night.
Featured performers include Don Chambers + GOAT, Liz Durrett, Iron Hero, Nate
Nelson, Heavy Feather, Packway Handle Band and Spring Tigers. There will be a
screening of some rare R.E.M. live footage, limited edition t-shirts designed by local art
ist Jordan Noel and, of course, everyone will have a chance to purchase a copy of the
deluxe edition of Murmur which will have been released that very day. And before you
ask... no, there are no plans for R.E.M. to be in attendance.
The event is a benefit for Community Connection of Northeast Georgia and Athens-
Clarke County Family Connection Partnership/Communities in Schools of Athens.
Community Connection also celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. So, you've got a
benefit for organizations that help keep Athens a place we love matched with a celebra
tion of one of the main reasons the world turned its eyes toward Athens in the first
place—a perfect circle indeed. [Gordon Lamb]
