Jack Johnson and B-52 Concert News
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Singer, surfer and filmmaker Jack Johnson rides the wave of his No. 1 album (“Sleep Through The Static”) into Atlanta’s Lakewood Amphitheatre Aug. 13.
(Most of his shows across the country are going on sale March 15. For ticket info, click HERE )
Concert promoters also announced today that Athens’ own B-52’s (above) are hitting the road in April - in support of their March 25 CD “Funplex”, hear the title track HERE — and while the listing for the FunPlex tour did not have a Georgia date, they already have one on the “True Colors” tour June 16 at Chastain Park Amphtheatre, with Cyndi Lauper, Tegan & Sara and Rosie O’Donnell.
(For ticket info on that show, click HERE or HERE ).
Planning to attend either one of these shows? What about the CDs - were you among the thousands that made “Sleep” No. 1 in the country its first week out? How would you rate it? And what about the B-52 single here - your thoughts?
Golden’s Time to “Shine” Wednesday
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Atlanta band that says it sounds like “warm apple pie” on its MySpace spage and counts Phish among its influences takes a sharp left from all of the culinary references to give U2 a run for its money this week.
[golden] - the proper name of the act - will unveil its 3D video of its single “Shine”, for free, at the Five Spot in Little Five Points from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday. (And as you may know, superstar rockers U2 also have a 3D film in theaters, and rap phenom Missy Elliott has given the same treatment to her new single, “Ching-A-Ling”; in frequent rotation on BET).
No word on whether 3D glasses will be handed out at the Five Spot event, but hey at least you can hear the single without an aid HERE, watch a trailer to the video BELOW, and then - of course - offer your take on [golden], “Shine”, this 3D resurrection, or all of the above!
