We’ll be playing Star Bar once again, this time invited by our new friends in Rare Birds, along with The Ides of June. We are “headlining” (wink) so we’ll probably be on around 11. No worries – it’s a Saturday night! I think it’s interesting – our bands are decidedly different, but there’s a commonality. Perhaps the hats (grin). In any case Antic Clay will bring a monster set – and we’re still not exactly where I want us to be, sonically/musically. We have been rehearsing diligently, despite the typical holiday disruptions. I hope this early 2023 show is as excellent as I’ve heard us be, and sets the tone for the entire coming year. Tickets here. Or click the poster below for the Facebook Event page.
Found some footage I've never shared. This was our debut show as this 3-piece lineup consisting of Michael Bradley, Beau Eadon and Michael Appel. A very early version of All Rise recorded on Mikey's GoPro, and apparently sponsored by Sierra Nevada Torpedo. Want a closeup of a tipped tallboy? Wait for it!
An interesting gig at an empty place that longs to be full. Thanks to Catherine Duke for the video.Photograph by Catherine Duke http://catduke.com
More photos and video to come. It was an interesting show in an interesting spot. Atlanta Underground is like a ghost town. Homeless wandering, empty business fronts. So much potential. I sat next to a bronze sculpture of a man feeding a pigeon. Downtown Atlanta. 30 years ago I had a picture taken at the same spot. I’ll post both here shortly. But my overriding feeling was that this place should be thriving. And it ain’t.
ANTIC CLAY LIVE at ADNA 2022 DOWNTOWN FESTIVAL & TOUR OF LOFTS
Underground Atlanta
Fellow musicians will agree that there were always a few anomalous gigs that turned out to be very great. I expect that with this one. Antic Clay at Underground Atlanta on a Sunday afternoon in November. Who knows how we’ll be received? Come on out for something special that won’t take your whole day.
