Funk Smorgasbord
Going to use this as a catchup post, since we’re a few playlists behind, and remind you about some events coming up and do a few announcements as well. Let’s get to it…
First, a reminder that this weekend is the Twain’s Springfest. It’s $10 (with proceeds to go to the Atl. Community Food Bank), all day (1pm – 11) and features some pretty fine local acts, including sub-headliners Ruby Velle & The Soulphonics. You may note that they’ve got quite a few spots on our latest Concert Rundown, and that is because they’ve got their long-awaited debut album dropping in July. So stay tuned for that.
Also, to soon be on the updated and aforementioned Concert Rundown, Atlanta’s own Cadillac Jones will be playing at the EARL on June 2, in a special kind of show. In between sets of them and Abby Wren there will be short film screenings, all produced by GSU students and inspired by The Big Takedown, the C-Jones ‘soundtrack’ album to the pseudo-film of the same name. So expect plenty of Sabotage style chase scenery and I’m sure some classic wardrobes.
Alright, we’re two playlists in the hole, and of course, I’ve got to throw the show together for tonight. Hopefully I’ll get that one posted a little quicker. I did, however, want to give a special thanks to Agent 45, who came through and blessed us with for the 4/26 set. So if that list seems quite a bit longer and smarter than normal, there you go. Anywho, here are the jams that “came on down” last week. As always, you can grab it live right off of Twitter.
