MUSIC NEWS AND GOSSIP
From the Past: Local songwriter Tommy Wedge
has released a "companion piece" to his 2007
release Heavensville. Titled Until I Reach L.A.,
the record features songs that pre-date the
compositions on Heavensville. Recorded com
pletely at home, Wedge (who performs with
an ensemble under the same name) recorded
nearly all the instruments himself with some
help by John Neff on pedal steel and Marc
Gilley on saxophone. I'm a big fan of Wedge's
atmospheric dream pop and welcome this
release, but I hope that the band is busy at
work on a new full-length release, too. To grab
a copy of Until I Reach LA., please see www.
cdbaby.com/cd/wedge2 or iTunes.
Y Beats Don't Stop: Local DJ Alfredo Lapuz,
Jr. (AKA Immuzikation) is starting to catch
some serious out-of-town attention, most
notably evidenced by his playing three sets
(one each night) this week at Manchester,
92 Dreamteam and more. Wiggs is currently
seeking volunteers to help with moving
equipment on and off stage, etc. Oh, man, I
admire Wiggs' enthusiasm with all this. And I
also know that even at $3 for over 11 bands,
there's gonna be some douche bags trying
to scam their way in for free. Don't be that
person, people. Interested parties should get
in touch with Wiggs via www.myspace.com/
daffodilathens.
Dub Fest?: Athens' premier reggae-dub
band DubCondous and promoter Harmonic
Productions will present the "Dub-ocracy
Mini-Festival" at Atlanta's swanky 595 North
this weekend, June 12-14. Tickets for regu
lar admission are $55, and VIP admission is
$100, but that includes backstage access and
free beer. Scheduled to perform are Benga,
DJ Spooky, Starkey, M80 DubStation, Joe
Nice, Djunya, SubSwara, Alex B and some
Immuzikation
TN's awesomely huge Bonnaroo. Additionally,
Immuzikation has received solid praise from
Spin.com regarding a recent remix of MGMT's
"Time to Pretend." Lapuz, who also plays in ‘
Kuroma and Daft Punk tribute band Very
Disco, was highlighted by online publication
The Cold Cut for his appearance on Daft Punk
tribute album Remix After All, which was com
missioned by the publication. Word is that
Very Disco will play sets at the Houston and
Dallas, TX locations of the House of Blues in
July but will appear locally at the Georgia
Theatre on Thursday, June 25. Immuzikation
will play the Theatre on Saturday, June 27
with Kuroma, Velveteen Pink and Gift Horse.
Check everything out via www.myspace.com/
immuzikation.
Meat Some New Friends: Derek Wiggs of local
band Daffodil has put together a multi-band
BBQ and performance day at Little Kings
Shuffle Club for July 25. The reason I'm tell
ing y'all this way ahead of time is because
there's a slight smidge of a chance that he
might add some more bands to the bill, and if
you're interested in playing you should get in
touch. The event is planned to be hella cheap
at approximately two or three dollars a per
son. Any funds left over after expenses are to
be donated to the ACC Animal Control. Bands
already scheduled to play are Circle in Flight,
Jungol, Die Bennie, Daffodil, Laminated
Cat, The Jack Burton, Lazer/Wulf, Dead
Dog, Shitty Darkness, Christopher's Liver,
surprise guests. Atlanta Dubstep will host an
outdoor stage, too, and art by Kris D, David
Hale, Catherine Stinson, Rob P, and Rhett
Johnston will decorate the venue. Tickets are
available at www.dubocracynow.com.
Treasure in Your Own Backyard: Longtime
Athens-based artist Bill Mallonee (Vigilantes
of Love) is planning another tour of house
shows this summer billed as the "Guitar
in a Car" tour. Over the years, in addition
to extensive touring at traditional venues,
Mallonee has played over 500 house shows.
The target dates for the new house shows are
July-September. Mallonee also found himself
in the position of having to sell a beloved
vintage guitar recently, but when one door
closes, another door opens. It turns out that
the buyer was Dallas-based filmmaker Jeff
Hopher, who decided to use the necessity of
Mallonee selling the guitar as the inspiration
for a brand-new documentary on Mallonee.
This is the first documentary of its kind on
Mallonee, who is certainly due something like
this after 17 years, 25 albums and a fan base
that, while still relatively cult-like, is incred
ibly loyal and enthusiastic around the world.
For more information on all this, please see
www.myspace.com/billmallonee. If you are
interested in having him play your living room
(which he will travel anywhere to do), please
drop a line to volnail@aol.com.
