Clear Plastic Masks

In the past few months, this Brooklyn 4-piece have won our hearts as one of our favorite discoveries of 2012. We have never had the opportunity to see them in-person and are excited to bring these guys back down South for their Chattanooga debut. The boys have an EP and 7-inch available now with more in the works. Check’em out below:

Banditos

Banditos are no strangers to Chattanooga… Our last encounter with this Birmingham, Alabama crew was earlier this year at JJ’s Bohemia, where they shared the stage with locals Strung Like a Horse. And ever since, we’ve been thirsty for more! Check out a killer live take and stream their latest full-length ‘The Filthy Sessions’ below:

Eight   Knives

Local band Eight Knives are definitely the newest of the 4 acts, but will fit in just nicely, kicking things off at 8pm. By the time July 27th rolls around, this will only be the band’s 5th show. So far 8K has opened up for national acts Terry Malts, Ultras S/C and most recently, Those Darlins and Houndmouth.

Videos from the 2012 Waverly Boogie

June 18, 2012 0 comments

One of our favorite filmmakers, Joshua Shoemaker, recently stopped by the 12th annual Waverly Boogie festival in Waverly, AL that’s hosted at Standard Deluxe‘s screen-printing space to catch a hand-full of artists performing at this year’s event… The outcome? Four outstanding produced videos that catch artists Hurray for the Riff Raff, Andrew Combs, Harvey Davidson and Duquette Johnston in their truest and rawest form.

Being HUGE Immortal Lee County Killers fans from back in the day, we were very excited to hear something from Harvey Davidson, which is a new project from ILCK drummer JR Collins — Stream all 4 videos below and keep an eye out for Shoemaker, who is hard at work documenting great music from in and around the South. We’ll keep you updated as he posts more work:

Clear Plastic Masks: ‘When the Night Time Comes’

May 29, 2012 0 comments

Clear Plastic Masks are a new band from Brooklyn who have been warming our ears lately… Once digging around for some live footage of the 4-piece, we stumbled across this gem shot by Birmingham, Alabama’s Joshua Shoemaker (who is better known for his work with Alabama Shakes). It features this amazing performance of ‘When the Night Time Comes,’ from when the band stopped by Birmingham this Spring:

We are sure that has left you hungry for more! Catch the band August 3rd at Birmingham’s Bottletree, and hopefully a few more Southern dates this summer… Maybe even Chattanooga? (hint, hint) — Also stream the band’s EP and new 7-inch below, and of course, if you dig what you hear, pick up both HERE:
