ART I FRIDAY, MAY 31
Exhibit"
& "Oconee Landscapes"
Reception
Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation - 6-8 p.m. -
FREE!
Once a year, OCAF invites all dues-
paying supporters to participate in the
"Annual Members Exhibit," a collection of
over 125 works ranging from paintings,
textiles, jewelry, sculptures, photography
and more. The show is not juried based
on skill or experience levels, making this
a unique opportunity for novices to rub
elbows with professionals. An additional
exhibit, "Oconee Landscapes," showcases
works by retired UGA art professor Robert
Clements, who after 25 years of teaching,
has been busy producing
artwork for public art com
missions, museums, public
collections and exhibitions
all across the country.
Using a plein air approach
to painting, Clements sub
merges himself into each
environment in order to
capture the diversity and
understated beauty of local
scenes. OCAF is located in
Watkinsville, less than 10
miles away from downtown
Athens, and both exhibits
are on display through
Friday, June 21. [Jessica

including a few title fights for state cham
pionships. MMA's rise in local popularity
is in part due to the half dozen studios
around town that offer training, such as
The HardCore Gym, which has produced
professional fighters like Forrest Griffin,
former UFC light heavyweight champion
and season-one winner of reality series
"The Ultimate Fighter." VIP tables are
available if you want to smell the sweat,
but don't worry about missing any action;
Manor is equipped with multiple screens,
including a 100-foot display, to project the
punches to all corners. [Jessica Smith]

MUSIC I FRIDAY, MAY 31
Lame Drivers, The Woolen
Men, Dead Dog, Eureka
California
Farm 255-11 p.m.-FREE!
Oregon/Washington natives The Woolen
Men are tour monsters in the great Pacific
Northwest DIY tradition. The trio has been
bouncing down various highways in its
tour van for the last few years, releasing
tight little EPs of garage pop/punk here
and there. The group recently signed to
Woodsist, and the label, with its retro-
modern ethos, is a perfect home. The
band's self-titled debut LP???recorded on
analog tape???is a clanging, exuberant,
fuzzy thing, and word on the digital street
says The Woolen Men's live shows are an
energetic great time. For anyone nostalgic
for the work ethic and lifestyle of pre-Nir-
vana American punk, Friday's show should
be a breath of fresh air. [Rachel Bailey]
EVENTS I SATURDAY, JUNE 1
MMA Fight Night IX
Manor -7 p.m. - $18 (adv.), $25 (door)
Pair the blood, sweat and tears of
mixed martial arts cage fights with the col
orful light shows, clear sound system and
party vibe of Manor, and you've got one
hell of a night. Presented by Combat Quest
Promotions, MMA Fight Nights include over
a dozen amateurs???ranging from first-
timers to fighters on the brink of turning
pro???competing in head to head matches,
wide range of local talent, from the sweet,
melodic kindie rock of Like Totally! to
the sweeping rock soundscapes of Easter
Island. On Saturday, The World Famous will
celebrate the official release of the comp
with performances by three of its featured
groups. First, Brandon Hanick of Athens
expats King of Prussia will play a set of his
group's orchestral pop tunes with the help
of some friends. Next up is Jared Collins'
psych-wop group kids, whose live show
has become more sure-footed with each
outing. Down-home (literal) band of broth
ers The Darnell Boys, preparing to release a
new album of their own, will close out the
evening. [Gabe Vodicka]
MUSIC I SATURDAY, JUNE 1
Hopscotch Road Show
40 Watt Club - 9 p.m. - $5
Raleigh, NC's Hopscotch Music Festival,
which takes place Sept. 5-7, brings its
Road Show series, which aims to show
case North Carolina's indie rock talent,
to Athens for a pretty damn spectacular
bill at the 40 Watt. The lineup features
two Carolina acts worth your time and
money: Floating Action, the vehicle for
songwriter Seth Kauffman's soulful tunes,
and Lonnie Walker, a Raleigh band whose
rootsy rock has built it a respectable fol
lowing over the last few years. In a show
of cross-culturalism, our town is also well
represented. Local gloom-punks Muuy Biien
will headline, and upstart hip hop producer
murk daddy flex, a.k.a. Terrance Chiyezhan,
opens the show. Meanwhile, DJ Daffy Duck
spins between sets. [Gabe Vodicka]
