4th Ward Heroes — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 05:01:10 +0000

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!

“Simply stated, The Judies create pop music the way that pop music should be with catchy melodies, memorable hooks and traces of the garage rock you lived for in the ’90s. Once experiencing a live performance you won’t be able to shake front man Warren Ullom. He leaves an indelible impression as he pours every ounce of himself into each performance.” -Kelley Hagen, Metromix Atlanta

J. Roddy Walston and The Business

“The band self-released their debut, Hail Mega Boys, in 2007 which prompted critics to say that J-Roddy Walston and The Business is “the purest American rock-and-roll band I’ve heard in years,” (Flagpole) and sounds like “a butcher version of Queen and Ben Folds with a full backing band and a fistful of Lexapro” (WCPR). The quintet’s live show is an experience likened to “a live bull fight,” (Philly Style) and “infectiously manic…they make James Brown look lazy,” (Baltimore City Paper).” – http://vagrant.com/

The Booze

“Rebirth of the Cool is a great return to ’60s rock form for the Booze that sharpens the group’s aesthetics. “No Big Thing,” “There Goes My Girl,” which features a duet with Ashley Salisbury from the Stolen Hearts, and “Railway 188″ are soulful pop peaks in an album steeped in harmonica, slide guitars and the blues.” -Chad Radford, Creative Loafing

BROKE + ELECTRO with TTMTTS + THE ROPES + DJ BLACK DOMINOES + JUDI CHICAGO JUKEBOX // MONDAY AUGUST 3rd // 529 EAV [Sponsored by Whynatte and Slush Fund Recordings]

4th Ward Heroes — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 18:09:01 +0000

This Monday August 3rd, at 6:30PM, 4th Ward Heroes bring The Ropes to the ATL for a live in-store performance at Criminal Records followed by a killer show at 529 with Today The Moon Tomorrow The Sun! The party proletariat will be there handing out free Whynattes. Resident party aficionados Judi Chicago will be providing a special dj set at Criminal after The Ropes performance, where they will be previewing for the first time ever, the tracks off of their brand new upcoming 7″, ‘Fun City’.

After the in-store, be sure to check out our 1st Broke + Electro Party with TTMTTS + THE ROPES + GUEST BEATS BY: DJ BLACK DOMINOES + JUDI CHICAGO JUKEBOX @ 529 Flat Shoals Ave in East Atlanta Village presented by 4th Ward Heroes + hosted by Dude City Productions.. The first 5 people 2 arrive at 9PM get in free! Only $5 after! The first 50 people to arrive for doors at 9 get a FREE and oh so delicious cocktail called The Saint from our friends at Whynatte!

Put on your dancing shoes and your tastiest lip gloss and head on over to 529 on Monday August 3rd for our first BROKE + ELECTRO PARTY presented by 4TH WARD HEROES + hosted by DUDE CITY PRODUCTIONS. $5, yeah $5. The first 5 people 2 arrive at 9 get in free.

Today the Moon, Tomorrow the Sun will headline this show. Visit http://www.myspace.com/todaythemoontomorrowthesun

With critical praise, TTMTTS’s performance has been described as filled with fervor and force. Lauren Gibson on Vocals, Micah Silverman on Bass, Cregg Gibson on Guitar, and Jeremy Cole on Drums, this collective emerged from Atlanta’s distinctive heart and is gaining national attention. The intimate room and stellar sound system at 529 will showcase their super talents and put you up close and personal. They’re going somewhere fast.

The Ropes are coming! Visit them @ http://www.myspace.com/theropes

The Ropes are opening. So be sure get there for doors at 9! Remember: the first 5 people 2 arrive at 9 = free. The Ropes are a powerful NYC based duo self described as “We are The Ropes. We want to fight you.” Enough said really, lovers.

Vocalist/bassist Sharon Shy (yes, that is her real name) and multi-instrumentalist Toppy (he has a penchant for playing drums with his guitar hanging around his neck) are notorious for their engaging lyrics and phenomenal live performance. What they do is brilliant and intensely intoxicating. They have toured extensively throughout the US and UK, opening for acts such as The Used, Innerpartysystem, and The Matches, among others. I am so thrilled they are coming to Atlanta, if this was not a 4th Ward Heroes show I would take the night off, grab my boy du jour and a flask of bourbon, and stand in line indefinitely to see them. It has been said that if you like The Knife or The Chromatics, you will love The Ropes. In my case, this is absolutely true. And as a little incentive, although I am not quite sure how long this is going to last, according to http://twitter.com/theropes, the Ropes are offering a Free Album Download at http://www.theropesonline.com/store/ I hit that link up today and it worked like a charm. Oh happy day!!! Acquaint yourself. For Free.

Kellen Crosby (a.k.a. DJ Black Dominoes) + Ben Coleman & Travis Thatcher (a.k.a. Judi Chicago Jukebox) join forces to deliver a dance party detail designed to delight your derriere, so come out and dance wherever you are. Visit Kellen and send him photos of yourself rocking out to one of his remixes @ http://www.myspace.com/blackdominoes Stalk those Judi Chicago lads over @ http://www.myspace.com/judichicago
