2008-03-21 15:23:00 Happy Friday! Let's see what's on the menu for today:Taylor Hollingsworth / The N.E.C. @ The NickAdmission: 7$Go Time: 10 p.m.C?mon now, y?all know Taylor Hollingsworth by this point. He?s appeared in this post many times, and is ever present in our local bars. This guy shreds it with proficiency and a rock n? roll heart. Take every chance you get to see him. I ain?t foolin?.Next, get ready for some grit, courtesy of Atlanta garage rockers The N.E.C.. This is the rock equivalent of rolling in the mud for a while. It?s dirty, but it feels so good, and you might look a mess when you?re through. Don?t wear the nice shirt. More About: Pick

2008-03-20 16:00:00 Hey, hey, hey! What's happening. You say nothing, I say wrong!The Legendary Shack Shakers @ Bottletree Admission: 10$Get There: 9PMJello Biafra once called J.D. Wilkes, the lead singer of The Legendary Shack Shakers, "...the last great Rock and Roll frontman", and apparently Robert Plant is also in their fan camp. Comin' straight out of Nashville to cram your skull full of blues harp and rock-a-billy, these guys bring the energy live, so get ready to sweat. Consider yourself forewarned. More About: Pick

2008-03-19 17:25:00 Tonight's pick is coming all the way from Israel just to melt your facial region to the floor. Close your eyes and open your ears kids. I promise this won't hurt a bit.Monotonix / Dark Meat @ BottletreeAdmission:8$Go Time: 9PMThe last time Monotonix came to Bottletree, they wrecked the place, set the floor on fire, showered the audience in garbage, and it was hailed as one of the best shows of last year. Wanna be able to say the same thing about this year? Get moving. More About: Pick

Pick of the Day 3/18/08
2008-03-18 16:02:00 This is a music blog, so in the interest of staying on topic a little, I'll pick a band for you today. Know this though: Bottletree is having another Boardgame night tonight, and I'm gonna take the opportunity to get my Scrabble on. I have a beautiful board I want to rub in. If you're not inclined towards the wordtastic, and the idea of a bunch of people thoughtfully advancing miniature objects along colorful paths makes you nauseous, by all means go to:The Jungle / Foreign Islands @ The NickAdmission: 7$Get There: 10PMSee you across the table.

Pick of the Day 3/17/08
2008-03-17 17:40:00 Though I am tempted to send everyone to the sweaty dance orgy that Team Robespierre will supposedly be brewing at Bottletree tonight, I can't help but be seduced by the wiles of the two headlining ladies at Workplay:Sara Bareilles / Ingrid Michaelson @ Workplay You know Sara Bareilles. She's all over the place, most ubiquitously in that Rhapsody/Tivo ad seems to play every other commercial break. Ingrid Michaelson first stole my ears when she played Workplay a few months ago, and I've had her in regular rotation since then. There are three other acts on the bill besides these two, so you are definitly getting your money's worth with this ticket. More About: Pick

This is a classic piece of Rock and Roll history, and you all should come and see it. How many times do I have to say FREE FREE FREE! More About: Pick

Pick of the Day 3/11/08
2008-03-11 17:48:00 Suffocating gloom, thats what we get today instead of the soul-filling sunshine we've had the last few days. It's all good though, because tonight there is so much good music being played we might as well start a festival. Here's the best of the bunch:Hoots & Hellmouth / The White Oaks @ WorkplayAdmission: 5$Party Starts: 8PMHoots and Hellmouth play soulfull footstompers as if the devil made them do it in a last ditch attempt to get back into God's good graces. Don't expect to stay seated. The White Oaks are a group of local fellas you'll kick yourself later for not seeing now. I have espoused my love for their sound previously. Not to mention the show is only five bucks, which is a steal for Workplay! What on Earth are you waiting for?Honorable Mention: Dr. Dog / Blitzen Trapper / Fleet Foxes @ Bottletree More About: Pick

2008-03-10 17:55:00 It's another gorgeous day here in The Ham, and to celebrate such an occurence I suggest you head out to see:Vampire Weekend @ The Bottletree Admission: 14$ (SOLD OUT, but most likely available from a scalper)Go Time: 9PMThese dudes are being hailed as one of the best new bands around, and they play perfect music for the beauty of a day we got goin' on here.

Pick of the Day 3/9/08
2008-03-09 18:06:00 I've been waiting for this day. It's not often you get a chance to see a band as infinitely weird and cool as:They Might Be Giants / Oppenheimer @ WorkplayAdmission: ? (SOLD OUT but I'm sure you can barter with a scalper)Go Time: 8PMMost of you have probably heard of TMBG, in fact most of you have probably already purchased tickets to TMBG. Good, then you already know what you're in for. Weirdness and glory. Irish imports Oppenheimer make crafty pop numbers infused with crunchy synth lines and various other electronic bubbles and squeaks. More About: Pick

Pick of the Day 3/8/08
2008-03-08 17:52:00 Today's pick is:The Big Sleep @ Bottletree Admission:10$Zero Hour: 9 p.m. The Big Sleep is a strangly inappropriate name for a band that makes as much sheer noise as this one (though perhaps they?re channeling Chandler). It?s not all glorious feedback either. There are these fractured little moments of beauty sprinkled throughout, and they hit you all the harder because of the caustic nature of their surroundings.
