A whole lot of music: Tom’s 2014
When I started attending Savannah live music shows regularly, I didn’t realize a lot of things. I certainly didn’t think that somehow I would end up writing and taking photos of what has been a lifelong hobby for me and…
Big Awesome, Tare and Lions at Graveface – photos
As I’ve mentioned before Graveface Records and Curiosities has really turned into an interesting venue. The space itself has always been entertaining, with slightly off taxidermy, weird art, costumes, video games and, of course, a superbly curated collection of vinyl.…
Weedeater, Full of Hell, Lazer/Wulf at The Jinx – photos
The mood was almost as heavy as the music Friday night at The Jinx. Weedeater always draws a good crowd, but the room was filled with past Jinx regulars, out of town musicians and other rarely seen faces from the…

I try to go to one music festival a year, I mean other than Savannah Stopover, Revival Fest, Graveface Fest, No Control Fest, Bragg Jam, The Jam Room Festival and….holy crap, I go to a lot of festivals. I guess…

I spent both Friday night and Saturday night at The Jinx, here’s my attempt at speed reviewing the 6 bands that I saw. Friday night: Jeff Two Names and the Born Agains: Savannah’s best pop punk band (running unopposed). New…
Caustic Casanova, Sex Jams, Taze Daze and Sunglow at Hang Fire – photos
Retro Futurist‘s most recent signing, Caustic Casanova, rolled through town a couple weeks ago and delivered a scorching set of proggy, heavy, post punk at Hang Fire. Sex Jams, from Austria, was a welcome and surprising last minute add to…
