and zine festival showcases 65
artists from Athens and beyond.
The one-day-only event remains
free of big commercial brands

pro-wrestling fanzine Atomic
Elbow, and Patrick Dean, cre
ator of the upcoming Eddie’s
Week. Local highlights include

the art of small-scale visual
storytelling; witty or epic,
there’s something for everyone.

Southern Surf Stomp Julian Luge Trio
Little Kings Shuffle Club - 6 p.m. - $5
Surf-rock is experiencing a
resurgence in Athens. A hand
ful of surf-inspired groups have
surprisingly sprouted up over
the past few years, each draw
ing from genre forebears like
The Ventures but putting its own
mark on the sound: Check the
psychedelic space-surf collective
Outer Sea or the punk-leaning
Flamethrowers Surf Band for two
distinct examples. The first local
Southern Surf Stomp, Saturday
at Little Kings, will feature
five local groups, including the
aforementioned Flamethrowers,
as well as The Cryptides, Kinky
Waikiki, Revenge Beach and
Vacations, as well as Atlanta
outfit The Mystery Men?. DJs
Nate from Wuxtry and Kurt Wood
will spin between bands. [Gabe

The Foundry • 6 p.m. • $10-13
At 28, New York City-based
Julian Lage left the “child
prodigy” tag behind long ago
and is now one of modern jazz’s
most innovative and celebrated
guitarists. After exploratory col
laborations with Wilco alchemist
Nels Cline and bluegrass fixture
Chris Eldridge, Lage returns
to more familiar territory on
Arclight, out last month via Mack
Avenue Records. Armed with
only a Telecaster and alongside
the other two members of his
trio—bassist Scott Colley and
drummer Kenny Wollesen—Lage
comfortably feels his way around
1920s-era jazz and swing stan
dards and innovative originals.
The guitarist’s folksy yet fiery
brand of playing should appeal
to casual jazz fans and genre
obsessives alike. [GV]
Boogarins
MUSIC | TUE, APR 26
Boogarins
The World Famous ■ 9 p.m.
After attracting early atten
tion on the strength of some lo-fi
home recordings, which blended
the playful spirit of Tropicalia
with the mind-expanding sounds
of British and American psych-
rock, Brazilian band Boogarins
released As Plantas Que Curam
in 2013 on the Other Music
label. Last year, the core duo of
Fernando “Dino” Almeida and
Benke Ferraz returned with the
excellent if understated Manual,
an 11-song collection of infec
tious, politically-minded psych-
pop, all sung in Portuguese. Put
down that Tame Impala record
and make your way to The World
Famous Tuesday: Boogarins are
the real deal. Atlanta singer-
songwriter Adron and local
freaks Cult of Riggonia also play.
