Long Live Pop Death Sqad!

Three years ago… three amigos got together and joined forces with Star Community Bar and… Olé! Big Trouble in Little Five Points was born! The 3rd Thursday of every month would never be the same. Pop Death Squad revitalized the local music scene in the heart of Little Five. Thursday became the new Friday, Friday became call into work day, babies were born with slight cases of tinnitus and a hankering for PBR, a good time was had by all.

You probably thought it was just their clever way to pick up hispter chicks, but truth be told these music lovers helped reinvigorate the local music scene and helped shape the way shows are made here in The A. In true DIY spirit, they teamed up with the good folks over at Star Bar and figured out a way to showcase bands and increase audience participation by offering free shows. And the kicker is the bands still get paid a little somethin somthin along the way! Genius? Not really, that’s just how they roll. Before you knew it, music lovers from far and wide made their way to Star Bar looking for a free show every Thursday night and the Star Bar welcomed them, opening up opportunities for other rogue promoters (ahem! like 4th Ward Heroes) to have a shot at a free Thursday night. Presto! The Nice Mafia was born.

On Thursday July 15th, we say adios to Big Trouble! Raise your glass, tip your sombrero, but don’t you dare shed a tear, because the 3rd Thursday of every month at Star Community Bar will still be home to Team Luis! (only it will likely be called something like Team Luis Presents: Little Five is for Lovers). So come on out! Make merry! Make hipster babies! Ladies, this may very well be your last chance to get the three of them drunk and make out with all them all in the same night! RSVP by clicking the poster below! See u there! M!

4WH had the opportunity to co-sponsor a little party in Athens last weekend with Slush Fund Recordings (See Slush Fund Presents Spencer for Mayor Day Party!) during AthFest 2010. Now, don’t get me wrong, Athens is ALWAYS fun! But I didn’t realize how much fun it could be to bring half of The A to Athens. Good friends = Good times. We mixed it up. Here are a few of my favorite day time photos of what I like to call our little family vacation. The cover photograph was shot by the lovely and talented Alice Kim. The rest were shot by our dear friend Mr. Zach Wolfe. Let’s just say, this is the softer side of Zach. Yeah yeah! Thanks, Zach!

Head on over to http://www.slushfundrecordings.com/news/ to see the full slide show of our shenanigans!
