Gotta Catch 'Em AU; If you were happy to
catch Dreams So Real reunited at AthFest of
2009, or if you missed them and have been
crying into your hat ever since, you've got
a couple of chances this month to see them
perform. The trio, who originally formed in
Athens nearly 30 years ago, will share the bill
with the Dexter Romweber Duo and Kick the
Robot at the Melting Paint on Friday, Apr. 27
($12 advance, $15 at the door) and will play
Atlanta venue Smith's Oldc Bar on Saturday,
Apr. 28 ($15 advance, $18 at the door) with
the Jordan Grassi Band. These are both all-
ages events with early doors and set times.
The Melting Point show will open at 6 p.m.,
Occupational Outlook: A benefit album is
being organized by Occupy Athens, and the
group is seeking submissions for inclusion.
Although the organizers of the project are
primarily interested in artists from Athens
and Northeast Georgia, artists from other
areas will be considered. More specifically,
though, the group has specified, "Any songs
with a title or lyrics that are of a hateful
nature will not be considered" which, really,
kind of goes without saying. Proceeds from
the album, titled Whose Songs? Our Songs! An
Occupy Athens Benefit Album, will go toward
the expenses the group regularly incurs,
such as office rent, printing, etc. Interested
Dreams So Real
and music starts at 8 p.m. Smith's Olde Bar
opens at 7:3Q p.m., and music starts at 8:30
p.m. For more information, please see www.

Ready to Rumble: Surf-garage radar-duckers
Koko Beware are prepping a full-length
release for next month. The lead single is a
tasty number called "I Just Wanna Dance*
that's got this reverb-y guitar lead and melody
that makes it resemble a surf song, but it's
really closer to an indie-pop Ramones song.
The album's title is Something About the
Summer, and the band recorded it at Chase
Park Transduction with engineer Alex Kroh.
They're gonna do the triple-threat format
blast of releasing this on vinyl, cassette and
CD, and will be accepting pre-orders at the
end of April Keep up with all their goings on
over at www.kokobeware.com.
Riff Riders: Dead Dog is now a week into an
East Coast tour that will last until May 19.
The heavily hook-driven pop-punk band is
already a touring machine, and the guys could
probably do this month of shows standing on
their heads. In other news. This Will Be Our
Summer Records (Madeline, The Wedding
Present, Bastards of Fate) is re-releasing the
band's debut LP. The self-titled album was
originally let out of the gate back in 2008, but
this reissue will feature an additional three
tracks recorded live in 2007. There are special
pre-order packages available for both LP and
CD versions, and if you prefer to just go for
the plain, you can pre-order simply the LP or
CD. To keep up with all things Dead Dog, head
over to www.facebook.com/deaddogtheband.
parties should submit songs in .WAV format
to occupyathensga@gmail.com and note in
the subject line that it's a submission for the
album. AU relevant information concerning the
album, Occupy Athens and more can be found

Two Quarters: Last week marked the official
launch of Athens' newest label, GumbaU
Machine Records. This incredibly creative
project distributes music via gumball machines
placed around town, and for your 50 cents you
get a handmade trinket and a download code
for a fuU-length by an individual band or com
pilation album. Be sure to check out the pho
tos of available prizes at www.facebook.com/
gumbaUmachinerecords. So far, there are four
releases: two separate compilations (featuring
Wade Boggs, Titans of Filth, New Sound of
Numbers, Casper & the Cookies, Noogeez
and more), the fuU-length album by Green
Thrift Grocery, Buy It Back, and a single by
The Ice Creams. You can find the gumbaU
machines at Bizarre Wuxtry, Hendsrshot's
Coffee and Little Kings Shuffle Club. The
label plans to add more locations as soon as it
can. Hats off to this cool, independent way of
thinking outside the norm.
Shake Your Rumpus: Timi Conley & Friends
are taking up residency at Hendershot's
Coffee Bar for the entire month of May,
performing theme-based shows that will run
the gamut from "...raunchy blues to singer-
songwriter to mad professor [sic] of rock." For
more information, please see www.kitetothe
moon.com.
