MUSIC NEWS AND GOSSIP
Gaines School Rd.
Friends, here we are with another week of
Athens music news.
Duty Now for the Future: The Musk Business
Program at UGA's Terry College of Business
is now accepting applications for the fall
semester. This is an interdisciplinary cer
tificate program that focuses on developing
a unique core of knowledge for students
interested in the business end of music. The
requirements to apply are that you make a
commitment to 21 hours of coursework and
hold at least a 2.8 GPA. Send a copy of your
transcript along with a completed application.
For more information, please see www.terry.
uga.edu/musicbusiness.
Part Over Here, Party Over... Oh, You Know:
If you're a DJ or band that has ever been sit
ting around drinking at the Max Canada and
thought to yourself, "Wow, it sure would be
totally awesome to play here!" then you're
in luck. The bar, which had previously dis
tinguished itself as one of the few West
Washington Street establishments to not
feature bands, is now looking for bands to
get in touch. Both the indoor stage and out
door patio are being
booked. Interested
parties should contact
owner Neal Nelson
via 706-248-4843 or
drop him a line over
at www.myspace.com/
nealnelson. t
Get Crazy: Are you
a person who has
purchased, received
as a gift or through
some other method
come into possession
of a Misfortune 500
t-shirt? Well, the band
would love to get a
photo of you wearing
it. I have no idea why.
The group recently
sent out a call for
Misfortune 500 "fash
ion photos," and I
imagine you can ham Mike Sparrow
it up and glam it up
all you want. Send all pics to fashionphoto@
misfortune500.com or see www.myspace.com/
misfortune500 for other details.
Truckers Keep On: Drive-By Truckets had to
postpone a handful of dates last week because
of bandleader Patterson Hood suffering walk
ing pneumonia and needing some time to get
back to feeling 100 percent. All previously
issued tickets will be honored for the shows
in Lexington, KY (rescheduled for Mar. 26);
Milwaukee, WI; St. Louis, MO (rescheduled
for Mar. 28); Memphis, TN (rescheduled for
Mar. 27) and Tuscaloosa, AL. The dates in
Milwaukee and Tuscaloosa are being worked
on as we speak. Anyone not able to attend
the rescheduled shows can receive a refund
wherever they purchased their ticket. You
locals may wonder why we're reporting all this
news that takes place outside of Athens. Well,
because the Truckers are our homeboys and
we've got their backs. And besides, some fan
out there somewhere may look to us for this
news. For all other information concerning
this tour and future dates, please see www.
drivebytruckers.com.
Sign 'Em Up, Ship 'Em Out: Dodd Ferrelle
released his newest album, Lonely Parades,
this week courtesy of Atlanta's Two Sheds
Music. Recorded at Chase Park Transduction
with David Barbe at the helm, the album fea
tures Kyle Spence (drums), Jon Mills (bass)
and John Neff (pedal steel) and various other
Athens folks. Lonely Parades should be avail
able locally at Wuxtry and Schoolkids record
shops. In other news, Ferrelle asks that if any
of you have signed up for his email list to
please do so again. It's been dormant for the
past couple of years while Ferrelle has concen
trated on recording and raising his kids. So,
you can rejoin over at www.doddferrelle.com
and hear new music over at www.myspace.
com/doddferrelleampthetinfoilstars.
Chronic Is Right: Funky dudes JazzChronic
will release their new album with a show at
Nowhere Bar on Thursday, Mar. 19. Featuring
the baritone and tenor saxophone sounds of
Comer, GA-based musician Luke Powell (AKA
Gnarly G), JazzChronic plays self-described
"psychedelic, funk-freak-fusion for the 21st
century." You can sample JazzChronic directly
via www.myspace.com/jazzchronic or explore
all of Gnarly G's proj
ects by looking toward

Travel Time: Martin
Brummeler sent word
recently that his band
Mass Solo Revolt has
a new record almost
in the can. Brummeler
himself did most of
the recording with a
little additional work
done by Joel Hatstat.
Word is that the new
record, as of yet unti
tled, will be released
around May in both
digital and physical
. forms. Additionally,
the band needs some
one to head to SXSW
with them and play
synthesizer and key
board. The equipment
is all there and now
just needs a warm body to tickle the ivories.
In other news, Brummeler's M. Cadet Studio
is now a fully operational studio in an actual
physical space. Engineer Jeremy Beck is work
ing with Brummeler at the studio now. Any
questions with regard to Mass Solo Revolt or
M. Cadet can be answered by calling 706-202-
7712 or dropping a line to m.cadetrecording@
yahoo.com.
A In Memoriam: Local guitarist and song
writer Mike Sparrow tragically took his own
life Monday, Mar. 2 after a years-long battle
with bipolar disorder. Sparrow played in local
bands Canaan, Dark Horse and since 2007 had
played in the Sublime tribute band Wrong
Way. At the time of his death Sparrow was at
work on his first solo release. To hear a sample
of Sparrow's music, please see www.myspace.
com/ikemayarrowspay. Flagpole writer Jeff
Tobias also pays tribute to Sparrow in a recent
post on Homedrone, Flagpole's music blog.
