Georgia Soul Council’s Back!
Before we get into the GSC, the Treacherous one was on hand this past Thursday when yours truly couldn’t be. And, of course, you listeners were in good hands. He laid it down like a baby after a feeding with some delectable tunes, both old and new. Check out the stream if you missed it or, understandably, need it again (link is replaced @ 2300hrs 09/01/11).

Here’s a little video of the Georgia Soul Council, back in effect and playing gigs with fair regularity. You know their members from Entropy, Cherry Royale, Uncle Joe’s Medicine Show, among others. This is a sampling of their version of the Sly Stone tune “If You Want Me to Stay” from their gig at Bhojanic, Wednesday 8/24/11:
If you missed the Bhojanic gig, or just want to see the GSC, check our What’s Up with What’s Going Down list below. Tons of great shows on the horizon, including the second Etowah River Festival of the year. This time, the autumn edition hopes to have things a little cooler (in the literal sense). Here’s what else is up for the coming weeks:
- Cherry Royale, Newberry Jam – 529 – Fri. 9/2/11
- Ruby Velle Trio – Eddie’s Attic – Wed. 9/7/11
- Return to Forever – Fox Theatre – Thur. 9/8/11

The Masquerade website informs that they have a special ‘2-day funk pass’ for the Dumpstaphunk/NMS shows on 11/10-11/11 for only $22. That is one funkin good deal if you plan on seeing both shows, which I’d recommend. That’s all for now.
Stay tuned, as always, for infrequent updates…
