V Correction: In an unavoidably erroneous
announcement in last week's printed issue, we
said that B-52s tickets would go on sale Nov.
19. Actually, they'll be on sale at 10 a.m. on
Friday, Dec. 3. The famous foundirtg fathers
(and mothers!) of the modern Athens scene
will play the Classic Center Feb. 18, and tick
ets are 556.50 for the floor, $46.50 for the
loge and 536.50 for seats in the mezzanine

The B-52s
The Kids in America: ,
Local punks So It Goes
will release a full-length
record on Nov. 27 at the
Caledonia Lounge. Also
on the bill are Burns Like
Fire, Karbomb and pop/
hardcore/third-wave-ska
band Pericles, which
hails frorft the Dominican
Republic but is now based
in Florida. The show is
all-ages and will cost $5
if you're over 21 and 57
if you're under. Check
out some tunes over at

tra pit and can attend a meet-and-greet with
the band. Please see www.classiccenter.com
for more info on purchasing.
Not Bad at All: Although still riding a hob
byhorse named is-it-a-joke-or-not, local band
Quiet Hooves' new record, Saddle Up, is pretty
darn good—especially the title track. The
only people who had a hand in the record at
all were songwriter Julian Bozeman and pro
duction mastermind Javier Morales (The Dream
Scene), which may be why I prefer it to the
.band's live shows which often seem to have
too many cooks. Anyway, you can stream the
whole thing over at www.partypartypartners.
com/saddleup.
Stop the Presses: Word came down a few
days ago that guitarist Matt Joiner has left
The Rattlers, the local house-rocking hand
he helped found. He'll be concentrating his
work with a new band. So, The Rattlers are
auditioning lead guitarists now. So, if you're
interested in playing some straight-up bar
rock, check them out over at www.therattlers-
band.com and drop them a line via therattlers-
band@yahoo.com.
Ten in One: In a move that may precipitate
Nucfs Space having fewer shows throughout
the year, the local musicians' resource center
is trying something new. Billed as the "House
Show at Nu$fs Space," they'll host 10 bands
throughout the building (from the big stage
down through the larger rehearsal rooms)
on Friday, Dec. 3. Featured acts are Vincas,
Dave Marr, American Cheeseburger, Second
Suns, The Agenda, AU City Cannonballers,
So It Goes, Tribal Rivals, Grinnln' Bear
and Something More Memorable. If this
experiment Is successful the space will plan on
doing this type of showcase a few times a year
Tweet Things: Local web developers Little
Box Creative (Davey Whitney, Jamey DeOrio,
Stephen Borden and Mary Yajko) are develop
ing a site for Athens similar to the popular .
review site Yelp but focused completely on
local businesses. The idea is for folks to use
their Twitter accounts to publish brief reviews
of local services, produets, etc., and use the
hash tag Brevfewathens. The reviews are
then aggregated to a separate site that is to
be searchable and comment-able. This ties in
with local music because Little Box Creative
has pledged to donate 25 cents to Nugi's
Space.(and eventually other local charities)
for each use of this particular hash tag. Their
donation cap is 400 tweets per month right
now but, hell, a hundred bucks is a hundred
bucks. The site all this data will wind up on is
www.reviewathens.com which should be up, at
least in beta form, by the time you read this.
What Are You Gonna Do?: The Packway
Handle Band will play a benefit for Athens'
Girls Rock Camp on Friday, Dec. 3 at the
Melting Point. Also on the bill are The
Woodgrains and Moses Gunn. Tickets are $10
in advance and $12 at the door. The show
will also feature the raffling of a Yamaha FG
3755 guitar decorated by Athens artist Jamie
CaUdn, whose work you've surely seen hang
ing around town even if you don't know him
by name. For more information and tickets,
please see www.girlsrockathens.org. For music,
please see www.packwayhandle.com and to*|B

All I really want to say this week is Happy
Thanksgiving, everybody. It may be a cliche to
say "count your blessings," but that doesn't
mean it's not important to do so. So, with
that in mind, please enjoy your week and
snack on the stuff below...
Over There: Elf Power and Madeline will
tour Europe just after Thanksgiving. They'll
play dates in Austria, Italy, Germany, The
Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland
and several dates in Spain. Elf Power's latest
album is self-titled and was released back
in September on Orange Twin Records, and
Madeline's latest full-
length release is 2009's
White Rag. For more
info, please see www.
elfpower.com or www.mad-
elinesongs.com.
