Opening for Distant Relatives...

Nigerian born and German made vocalist Nneka will be blazing Tabernacle's stage on Saturday night.

My editor at CL put me on to her and this girl is good! Africa is the future and I hate to bring it up but the 419 scam was obviously way before anyone's time.

Her music is phenomenal and her voice is a treasure. Support good music ya'll and get there early so you don't miss what she had in store for Atlanta.

Doors open at 8pm. Show starts at 9pm. The show is at the Tabernacle. Get your tickets here (beware the $15 additional fee).










Heartbeat

Confession

Opening for Cobra Starship...

Hello my name is Iz'E Ahanotu and I. Fight. Dragons.

Chiptunes pop/rock band I Fight Dragons will be opening for Cobra Starship tonight.

The whole chiptunes movement is something we're late to, as the south always is, but it's when you create music from beats in video games. You know, mario bros, the gameboy sounds, all of that.

I will be interviewing them tomorrow after their set. I love what I've heard so far, so I can't wait to see what they have to say.

Doors open at 6pm. IFD is up around 7pm. Get there early and support good music. The show is at Tabernacle. Get your tickets here. Enjoy some of their stuff dolow.

I Will Wait For You

Opening for Eric Roberson....

Soulstress, and I stress soul, will be opening tonight for Eric Roberson. Here's what she had to say about what you expect:

"Expect a good time and absolutely anything from me. Expect  the stage to be insane and all the way turned up because I love to be on stage. It's like you're in my living room, listening to good music. You should fee like you can kick off your shoes!"

This show is gonna be live ya'll. Get your tickets at the door for $25. Click here for more information.
