MUSIC I WEDNESDAY, MAY 15
litus Andponicus, The So So
Glos, The Rodney Kings
Georgia Theatre Rooftop -10 p.m. - $5
Since the band's Latest album, Local
Business, starts out with Lyrics Like "By
now I think we've established/ That
everything is inherently worthless/ And
there's nothing in the universe/ With any
kind of objective purpose," you might get
the idea that Glen Rock, NJ rockers Titus
Andronicus would put on a real bummer
of a live show. Sure, the band, fronted by
noted literature and history buff Patrick
Stickles, might delve into some pretty dark
material, but it's widely known for its epic,
celebratory sets. If Titus' anthemic tunes
aren't enough to persuade you to go to
this show, the bill features more punk rock
goodness from Brooklyn's So So Glos. The
Glos' latest release, Blowout!, is making
waves after a recent knockout performance
on "Letterman" and a rave review from
Rolling Stone. [Dan Mistich]

MUSIC I FRIDAY, MAY 17
George Jones Tribole Night
40 Watt Club -10 p.m.- $5
The twang of vintage country music has
long been at the heart of local songwriter
Clay Leverett's sound. This weekend, he
will lead a celebration of one of his heroes:
George Jones, who passed away last
month. Leverett recalls opening for Jones
in 2010 and hanging out on the legend's
tour bus afterwards. "We talked about
how new country music sucks and the old,
traditional stuff was good. George told me
that he thought I was a good traditional
singer. It was awesome." Friday, Leverett
will be joined by three of his Shonna
Tucker & Eye Candy bandmates???pedal
steel player John Neff, keyboardist Neal
Golden and drummer Bo Bedingfield???as
well as Brandon Reynolds on bass and
Scott Baxendale on guitar. The band will
touch on Jones' hits and a few deep cuts,
too, plus a few extra surprises. Local coun
try crew The Burning Angels open. [Ballard
Lesemann]
ART I FRIDAY, MAY 17
Roll Out the Rarrels
Sileot Auction
Lyndon House Arts Center - 5:30 p.m.
Spearheaded by the ACC Water
Conservation Office, Roll Out the Barrels is
an annual project in which ordinary rain
barrels are transformed into unique pieces
of functional garden art by two dozen local
artists, this year including Peter Loose,
Jamie Calkin, "Cap Man" Jim Straehla,
Dan Smith, David Mack, Heidi Hensley and
Christina Ward. Many of the decorated bar
rels are auctioned off at prices comparable
to those of standard in-store barrels???and
far less than what a traditional painting
of their sizeable dimensions would typi
cally sell for???making this an opportunity
to take home some truly affordable and
earth-friendly art. Proceeds from the
silent auction benefit the Athens Green
School Program, an initiative that ensures
environmental education is taught in
classrooms through projects focusing on
conservation, preservation and beautifica
tion. [Jessica Smith]
MUSIC I TUESDAY, MAY 21
IIM Child,
limmy and the Tumbleps
Farm 255-11 p.m.-FREE!
A product of the fertile and incestuous
Nashville scene, which puts even Athens'
impressive intermingling to shame, the
bluesy, bruising Natural Child features for
mer members of Turbo Fruits and Kintaro
and sounds straight out of 1972. This ain't
your typical tongue-in-cheek, punk-dam-
aged garage rock revisionism; like fellow
Nashvillians JEFF the Brotherhood, Natural
Child is solidly and convincingly proto.
Tunes like "Rock Bottom," from the group's
2012 LP Hard in Heaven, are boot-stomping
bombers, chunky and distorted and pain
fully analog. Self-consciously inane lyrics
like "Smoke it up/ Snort it up/ Shoot it
down" (on "Blind Owl Speaks") are indica
tive of the band's M.O., where sex, drugs
and rock and roll are all means to the same
hedonistic end. Weird how that seems
almost quaint these days. [Gabe Vodicka]
