Tomorrow night, Tuesday Feb 07th, we launch Citizen ATL + L5P Society at Star Community Bar.

Citizen ATL is an all night dance party hosted by 4th Ward Heroes. It happens every Tuesday night upstairs at Star Community Bar and currently features four Resident DJs and their special guests.

1st Tuesdays: DJ Rami Lollipop

2nd Tuesdays: DJ Black Dominoes

3rd Tuesdays: DJs Keiran + Kevin O

4th Tuesdays: Ree de la Vega

Doors 9 PM / 21+ Free

The L5P Society (not to be confused with The L5 Society founded in 1975 to promote space colony ideas, though that is super cool) happens each Tuesday evening in the basement / downstairs lounge at the Star Community Bar. It is attended by creative types who conspire to take over Atlanta while being served free High Life from 9 -11:30 pm. The L5P Society is hosted by hot music nerds. It is also free if they let you in.

In honor of the Ancient Apple Queen and All Hallow’s Eve, we bring you: Thursday October 27th at Star Bar Atlanta! Join 4th Ward Heroes for a fantastic night of dance party debauchery with: Today The Moon, Tomorrow The Sun + Qurious + Warning Light + Twins + Phil C. Collins of Beirut (official after-party for the already sold out Beirut show at Variety Playhouse). Halloween is already in full effect here in L5P, so costumes are encouraged! Choose something danceable!!!

Today The Moon, Tomorrow The Sun (Atlanta) – http://todaythemoon.com/

Congratulations to TTMTTS! Greyday Records recently announced the national release of the band’s debut full-length WILDFIRE on November 22, 2011. “WILDFIRE [is] fifty minutes of unrelenting thrills and chills,” This Week in New York.

It’s always super cool when hometown heroes play a big free show for the fans, catch them while you can! “Electronic. Indie. Dance. Pop. Rock. Today The Moon, Tomorrow The Sun is all about the collaborative. It’s about the connections between sound and people, it’s about the heart and the head. It’s for mistakes and triumphs, and against arrogance and underconfidence. A band of four: two girls, two boys. Noisy, dancy, loud, sincere, sweaty, loveable, hardworking,” TTMTTS.

Qurious (Atlanta) – http://qurious.bandcamp.com/

Congratulations to Qurious, who were recently voted Best of Ambient Composers by Creative Loafing Best of Atlanta 2011. CL said: “You have to know the rules before you can effectively break them, and Qurious seems to operate on a higher level of consciousness than its electro peers. Between Mike Netland’s starry-eyed production and Catherine Quesenberry’s spellbinding voice, the duo delves deep into the realm of pure atmospherics with a sense of sophistication that eludes the rest. Each song on the group’s full-length 2010 debut, Planet Plant, slowly drifts through the ether with a celestial ambiance as massive and mysterious as the universe itself. It’s a sound that gives new meaning to the word ambient.”

Warning Light – http://warninglight.blogspot.com/

Warning Light, is the project of Drew Haddon (former Roman Photos member, one third of the most recently formed Kolossi, and head of Double Phantom Digital). Check out Wild Siver via Sickfigure Records at http://warninglight.bandcamp.com/album/wild-silver Littleadvances.com says: “like a soundtrack to a lost Carpenter film. Each of the twelve tracks is a cinematic miniature of textured atmosphere, with enough variety among them that the hour running time never feels excessive,” Denton Poteet.

Twins – http://soundcloud.com/20twin

Pitchfork says: “Though Twins sounds like a duo the project is actually one man: Matt Weiner… Weiner creates warped soundscapes filled with eerie sounds and harsh noise,” Larry Fitzmaurice. Twins is Matt Weiner of Featureless Ghost – http://www.featurelessghost.com/

And alas, there is Paul B. Collins of Beirut – http://beirutband.com/
Paul will join us after his sold out show at Variety Playhouse. Don’t miss his DJ Set just after midnight!

R&B legend, Andre Reynolds, plays Star Bar on Friday September 1oth!

Here are the details:

Andre Williams & The Goldstars w/ Special Guests The Subsonics and The Mission Creeps / Friday September 10th / Star Bar / 437 Moreland Ave., L5P, Doors 9pm / 21+

On Friday September 10th,  Star Bar will host Bloodshot Records Recording Artist Andre Williams.

With a mind-boggling 50 year career in the music business, 70-year old Andre Williams is showing no signs of slowing down. He is the original rapper and R&B performer and has recently been backed by such groups as John Spencer’s Blue Explosion, the Sadies, the Goldstars and many others.  Atlanta’s own garage-rock superstars The Subsonics will also perform.

Andre “Mr. Rhythm” Williams is a R&B legend, and you may not even know it. He wrote “Shake A Tail Feather,” and sang such uber-raunch cult classics as “Bacon Fat” (covered by the Cramps), “Greasy Chicken,” and the epitome of songs about little girls, “Jail Bait.” He worked at seminal labels such as Motown, Chess, and Fortune. He wrote songs for, or produced folks Ike Turner, Parliament/Funkadelic, Edwin Starr and Stevie Wonder. The guy is like music’s version of Zelig; he’s been everywhere, man.

For his new album, Andre went back home to Detroit and cut a record of psychedelic soul-rock freakouts, growly 4am slow jams and hypnotic grooves with members of Outrageous Cherry, Dirt Bombs, Electric Six and super special guitarist Dennis Coffey of the legendary Motown house band the Funk Brothers.
