10 years ago this month my band recorded our debut album Start The Panic at Chase Park in Athens, GA with David Barbe. now we are grown ups who never play shows. we are sorta a band in the fact that we all still like each other and we won’t break up cuz, well, who would care? but our days of recording and going on tour and all that stuff are done. weren't a very prolific band...but we were in fact a band for 10 years.
get it
and for the hell of it...or video for Crash Crash

My Buddies Grape Soda are doing an East Coast tour, go see them.

Grape Soda is my favorite current Athens band, (especially with American Cheeseburger broken up and Bambara now calling New York home). i mean yes i am probably totally biased since i’m friends with and in another band with Ryan and Mat, but i am the kinda asshole who always thinks his friends’ bands suck and never goes to see them play. Grape Soda are the opposite. they are always fun and everyone ends up dancing. Grape Soda are doing a quick tour this summer. if they are coming to your town then check them out. organ and drum based psych pop. kinda like if Quasi was stoned all the time and listened to nothing but the Soul Jazz Studio One comps. plus Ryan runs Kindercore Records and he loves it when people come to shows and give him their demo tapes.

Local Bands That Don't Suck: The Buddy System

here's a video from my friends The Buddy System (the drummer and guitar player used to be in my old band). the song is called "Horse Mountain". if you are easily upset by human on evil horse violence then this is probably not for you....if not then enjoy.
