Funkin’ Around A-Town
Lots of great shows to get to in the coming weeks, but first some regular rotation to take care of… The Atlanta institution known as DJ Romeo Cologne (late of Star Bar Tuesdays and still jammin on the one at the Clermont every Saturday night) has his new weekly at Tavern 99. Dare I say it’s even a reason to go to Buckhead on a Friday night.
