Picks of the Week

Mon. April 20

Dinosaur Junior

w/ Dead Confederate and Pride Parade

40 Watt Club

doors at 9:30 p.m.

$17

Dead Confederate is the latest band out of Athens to garner national (and internationl) attention.  Check out the Southern grunge sounds as they rock with two other great bands.

 

Wilco

Classic Center

Doors at 8 p.m.

$30

 Wilco is a classic cool-kid band, and it isn’t every day you can catch them in the Classic City.  Though the ticket price is a little higher than the normal Athens concert ticket, you won’t be disappointed.

 

Tues. April 21

 

Jazz Night with either Dan Nettles Trio or Carl Lindberg Trio

Farm 255

FREE

 One of my all-time favorite things to do around Athens.  Not only do you get to hear great jazz for FREE, all house wine is half price.  So take a date, enjoy the warmer weather and listen to some jazz.  Or don’t take a date, I’ll talk to you.  There’s no excuse not to be there.

 

 Wed. April 22

Manchester Orchestra

w/ Fun, Audrye Sessions, Winston Audio

40 Watt

Doors at 7:30

$10/adv.

 This indie group from Atlanta is reminiscent of Bright Eyes and Neutral Milk Hotel.  Plus, it’s an early show, so you can get a good night of music AND a good night’s sleep.

Thurs. April 23

The Heathens

Terrapin Brewery

5:30 p.m.

FREE

 Not only can you get four pints for, like, $8, but you can listen to music too.  The Heathens are a straightforward rock band infused saxophones.  How can you beat that for a Thursday afternoon?
