MUSIC NEWS AND GOSSIP
Welcome back, my friends. This is the first
column of the new year, and I hope you're as
bundled up reading it as I was writing it. No
matter what your resolutions for 2013 are, the
fact is that the doldrums of winter tend to get
in the way of your best laid plans. Don't let
'em! Put on your big boy pants and go see a
show. You'll be glad you did. Now, let's start
our year...
Brave New World: Blues-er Chris Ezelle just
released a new smartphone app via the free
development software available from Conduit.
It's a pretty simple affair (mp3s, links, calen
dar, etc.) but seems like a light-footprint way
to keep a band's info in the hands of even its
most casual fans. Check mobile.conduit.com
for more info. In other news, Ezelle is pro
moting his upcoming full-length. Monticello
comes out in April, when it will be available
to stream for free and
purchase for $5 (if you
purchase through PayPal,
you'll receive two bonus
tracks). The title track and
first single was released
this past month???stream
it via soundcloud.com/
chris-ezelle, and keep
an eye out for the music
video, which drops dan.
15. Anything else you
need to know? Check www.
reverbnation.com/chrise-
zelle and carry on.
Older School: When David
Lowery moved to town a
few years ago, Camper Van
Beethoven activity became
local music news. The
world gets stranger and
stranger. But, anyway, the
band is set to celebrate
its 30th anniversary, and
has a new album, La Costa
Perdida, due out Jan. 22. You can check the
video for the first single, "Northern California
Girls," over at youtube.com/429Records.
Camper Van Beethoven plays the 40 Watt on
Thursday, Jan. 24, and tickets are on sale now
at 40watt.com. In a move that is totally inex
plicable for both bands, hardcore dark-rockers
Muuy Biien will open that show.
Keep Them Babies Rollin': Rat Babies is
headed out on a short tour this month with
Virginia band Akris. The pair will hit 16 cities
in roughly 18 days, landing in North Carolina,
South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas and Florida. See ya later,
Southerners! The two bands toured together
last year, which Rat Babies celebrated by post
ing a whole bunch of demos and tracks com
piled under the name The Uncomplete Guide
to Caring for Your Rat Babies (you can hear
them all at ratbabies.bandcamp.com). Check
out Akris, the first relatively doom-y band
I've ever heard that features a saxophone, via
akrisband.bandcamp.com.
Travelocity: Do you remember a band, sev
eral years ago, that got signed to the newly
revamped Kindercore Records and then, poof,
the singer moved to Spain and everything
went to pot? Yes, I mean King of Prussia.
Most of the members still live in Athens, but
the only one who ever says anything about
the band is expat Brandon Hanick, who gave
me the heads-up that KoP is now recording its
third and, wait for it, fourth albums in town as
we speak. The group plans to release the two
together as a set. Word is, work started on this
collection in Bordeaux, France at Le Caverne
Studio and various apartments in Barcelona,
and will wrap up here in Athens, mixing with
Jesse Mangum of The Glow Studio. That said,
the band's most recent album, Transmissions
from the Grand Strand, came out last April and
is a fine slice of reclined pop a la a slightly
more muscular Belle & Sebastian. Let's keep
hope alive that this current Geneva Convention
is worth our time, as well. Stay in touch via
kingofprussiamusic.com.
Blood, Guts and, uh, Blood: OK, here's
the facts. If Grim Pickins & The Bastard
Congregation can keep its nose to the
grindstone and shoulder to the wheel, it's
gonna be one of this year's local breakout
bands. Colloguially referred to as "Black Oak
Sabbath," the band is a blur of Southern
madness and metal intensity. It's playing a
free show at Farm 255 on Thursday, Jan. 10
and then hits the road for a short tour, play
ing Atlanta, Macon and Sarasota. Fingers are
crossed that the band enters the studio this
month like they promised???I know I'm itch
ing to hear what they come back with. Get
in on the ground floor via facebook.com/
GrimPickinsTheBastardCongregation.
Growlers Now Available: Zack Thrower (ex-
Nationale) has a new metal combo named Pale
Prophet that made its live debut last month.
The trio is composed of Thrower on drums,
Daniel Fuller on guitar and Nate Malcolm on
bass and vocals. There's a smidgen of hardcore
in their sound, albeit a late '90s/Lumberjack
Records type of hardcore that keeps one foot
in the shorthair camp while grave-digging
for rare Gorgoroth bootlegs with the other.
Pale Prophet released a four-song demo it
recorded with engineer Joel Hatstat, which
you can find at paleprophet.bandcamp.com.
There's some nifty artwork and packaging
available for the physical copies, too, if you'd
like to order one directly from the band. Head
to facebook.com/PaleProphet for more infor
mation on that.
