COME TOGETHER: Athens premier—and only—Beatles trib
ute band, Abbey Road Live, is going whole hog into its cel
ebration of the 50th anniversary of the album from which
it took its name. This show will happen at the Georgia
Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 5. Doors open at 8 p.m., the show
starts at 9 p.m., and tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at
the door. This night’s show
will feature the band playing
the Abbey Road album in its
entirety from start to finish.
Then they’ll play a second
set of Beatles material and
host an all-star cavalcade
of special guests, including
the incomparable Michael
Guthrie, as well as David
Barbe, Clarence Cameron,
Mike Mantione, Caroline
Aiken, John Keane and
more. For tickets, see
georgiatheatre.com.
NEW CREW REVIEW: There’s a new
music collective in town you may
not have heard of—hell, I hadn’t—
named Soul Perch, and they’ve
just released a new EP by flagship
act Grunfelder. It’s named Baby
Sturgeons and runs four tracks long.
The group takes its name from
guitarist Jimmy Grunfelder, and,
indeed, this was originally his solo
project. Overall, the group perpe
trates a jittery mood and, at times,
threatens to be too clever by half.
However, there’s a noted appre
ciation for the Tin Pan Alley tradition, as well as well as a
tendency to slip into mid-1990s, Athens-style psych-pop.
The latter is very slight, though, and basically unnoticeable
unless you’re paying very close attention. So far, Soul Perch
as a whole—and Grunfelder by extension—seems to really
have its eye on the ball, and I’m hoping for great things for
all concerned. You can find
this on Spotify and all
other major streaming
services and find out
more about Soul
Perch at soulperch.

WICCA, WICGA, WHAT?: A performance this week that might
have flown under your radar if not for this column is the
upcoming show by Motion Sickness of Time Travel
(MSOTT) at the Athens Pagan Pride Day event. The
whole shebang takes place downtown on College Square
Saturday, Oct. 5 from 5-10 p.m. This particular perfor
mance, though billed as MSOTT, which is the sole concern
of Rachel Evans, will feature Evans and longtime Athens
experimental performer Leslie Grove. The two have
worked together multiple times previously under the name
Lock, and you can explore some of those recordings at
vaald.bandcamp.com. They will play in the Workshop Tent
from 5:30-6 p.m., immediately following the Opening
Ritual. The Athens Pagan Pride Day website is kind of messy
its Bandcamp page a couple of weeks ago, including titles
from Elf Power, Madeline and others. I surfed over there to
check it all out again and wound up re-listening to a bunch
of things I hadn’t heard in years. And it was all very nice
to hear. So, consider doing yourself a solid and heading
to orangetwinrecords.bandcamp.com to see what you’ve
missed and remember what you’ve been missing. For more
information on Orange Twin, see orangetwin.com.
THIS IS WHAT YOUR MIND IMAGINES: I swear to God, the sun
never sets on the Echobass Records empire. To wit, just
last week, another new album dropped by Killa Cabbi.
This wildly diverse record, named The Moon, has so many
different elements that somehow remain cohesive and
not distracting or irritating. Super
standout tracks include the freak
jazz of “The Evening Fiesta,” the
ambient trip-hop of “La Luna del
Cacciatore” and the 2000-and-later
witch house styling of “Endless
Searching.” Guest players for
selected tracks include Brent
Davenport, Chase Merritt and
Jackson Dodd (Pine Til Palms). Slip
away over at echobassrecords.band
camp.com.
