Interview: Hardy Morris Of Dead Confederate; Playing The Black Cat 5/17

For the uninitiated, Dead Confederate is a five-piece rock band from Athens, GA whose music runs the gamut of infectious psychedelia to a uniquely southern and ferocious dirge. Although, placing labels on a band like this is rather pointless as their sound seems a constant and fluid evolution; they never seem content with abiding by [...]

Q & A w/ The Legwarmers! Bringing the ’80s Back to the State Theatre!

Remember the Eighties? Sure, we all do…but the Legwarmers don’t just remember the Eighties – they relive them.

5GB Interview: Twin Sister; Playing @ The Black Cat 5/13

Twin Sister trade in a brand of dreamy pop that’s equal parts Galaxie 500, Tusk-era Fleetwood Mac, and Lynchian weirdness. They claim it will make you feel good enough to hook up with that one person you’re not supposed to hook up with. UH-OH! We caught up with the band before they hit the road [...]

After putting out three critically-acclaimed albums, Marnie could have gotten away with putting out another album filled with her richly layered sound, singular frenetic finger tapping and almost philosophical lyrics. However, as [...]
