We Go To Sleep To Shake Appeal

This weekend was insanely busy…

Friday, Blonde Redhead wowed us with their sultry rock – the most incredible sexual energy between their deliverance, performance and the captured crowd. We headed up to Decatur for Decatur Social Club to work out some of energy we acquired at the show on the dancefloor. I was excited to hear new music (*gasp* DJ’s in Atlanta play NEW MUSIC??) but was disappointed by the deliverance/mixes of a slew of DJ’s (I’m apparently not hip to yet because I didn’t recognize the lot of them behind the laptop). The Klaxons were surely the highlight of the evening as well as the rad dance moves from Hacks of Resonator Mag.

Saturday was Free Comic Book Day and the Sidewalk Sale at Criminal Records where I scored an amazing itty bitty Storm Trooper toy among my finds. Haha. Cinco De Mayo expected mexican food and margaritas from El Myr then we walked over to the Star Bar for Robin’s Broken Wing benefit.

Ended the evening over at one of the world’s best bars to check out Andy Rourke (of The Smiths) throw on some tunes for crowd. He started his set with The Smiths, Amy Winehouse a few in, an interesting mashup of The Smiths and Eminem and a healthy dose of your favorite britrock.

By Sunday, I was dead tired but still on the go so Spoon it was! Jack Daniel’s sponsored a free show by Spoon with Tenement Halls at Park Tavern on Piedmont Park yesterday evening. I was amused by the wide assortment of local musicians that dropped by and how men seemed to be more passionate about Mr. Britt Daniel than the ladies were (or at least danced more excitedly).

    Sounds like we were at a lot of the same shows this weekend. The Annuals were also great as a opener for Blonde Redhead. Saturday I went over to Modest Mouse. Great show but most annoying high school crowd ever. The crowd at Deerhunter afterward was so much better in comparison. And it was cool seeing Andy Rourke later on too.

    You’re right about Spoon…I heard all the fan-boys yell, “Chips and Dip!” in my ear the whole show. I’ve never heard it but I wanted them to play it just to see what all the fuss was about. We wound up @ the Highlander after the show and saw none other than Britt Daniel show up for some drinks.

    Great music weekend.

    Haha. Britt Daniel at the Highlander. I just pictured him sitting at a table in between 40-something guys with black stringy hair down their backs all watching The Simpsons or playing trivia. ;)

    The Annuals were great!

    Love me some Deerhunter but unfortunately Robin’s benefit interferred with me being able to get over to the Q before they ended.

    Lots going on music-wise this week as well. Will be posting about it soon!

    1 of the deejays was from way back in the early days of DSC (the one without the mixing skills) 1 was from Charlotte (think he had a crew with him as there was 1 more as well if I remember right?).

    Also…. yay dancing!
