Athens Face/Oft V:
Garage a Tr
40 Watt Club
Three may be a Crowd,
but 20 groups of three?
Sixty? A damn party.
An event, even! That's
the goal, anyway, for
the "Athens Face/Off V:
Garage a Trois" shindig
going down this week
end. Local musicians
offer up their names
organizer Jeff Tobias
(also a Flagpole writer) to toss into and pUU out of a hat, matching up sometimes dis
parate performers who arc then given a‘ month to come up with-material (though slack-
asses and poor time-managers would frequently wait for the last minute or go the route
of improvisation). It's been almost a year since the last Face/Off, when duos were the
flavor of the day, but Tobias has upgraded the event to trios, split up on three separate
stages for maximum efficiency. ' f i n V ( .
Expect to find members of acts like Haml, Puddin' Tang, Maserati, Dark Meat
Velveteen Pink, Deaf Judges and many, many more. "The performances are invariably
mind-blowing in their unpredictability as well as their execution," Tobias wrote a while
back on Flagpole's music blog, Horoedrone. You're reading that though, right? So, you
knew that. If net hit up-Flagpote.com on a more regular-like schedule. "The creativity
and versatility of the Athens music community comes out in spades," he added, "and it's
one of my favorite things to throw my time and energy into." '. ; > :
The four past Face/Off events have been free free-for-alls, with the no-door-charge
justified by the utter lack of preconceived notions (and the good chance some of the col
laborations may be less than satisfying). This time around, however, the door charge is a
mere $5 ($7 for those not yet of drinking age), with proceeds benefiting Athens Oconee
CASA, an organization that places community volunteers to represent in court the best
interests of abused or neglected ehildrenu For more info on CASA, visit wwW.athenso-
