I Can't Dance Just With Your Ghost

One of the things I love about having grown up in and around Atlanta is the number of amazing people I've met along the way. I'm always floored by how talented and stylish and important my friends are.

Specifically, two of my favorite local people sing and play in the band Book Club. Markus describes their sound as "like drinking a glass of milk." That is, to say, though the lyrics lend themselves to the melancholy, the melodies and instrumentals are very wholesome and pleasing to the ear. Creative Loafing describes their sound as a haunting mix of folk, country, and pop music.

l-r: Joseph, Matt, Leigh Anne, Robbie, Lee

The talented five just put out their first full length release, Ghost, and I'm thrilled to be able to listen at home in addition to making it to all of their shows. You can listen to and purchase it on their site here.

It just so happens that to celebrate, they will be holding a special album release show at the Earl tonight, Thursday August 4th! I'm going to go pick up a copy of their record on vinyl and be standing in the very front. Hope to see you locals there!

Robbie and Leigh Anne are the best!

Gagaloo was excellent! My boyfriend claims that the opening sequence was like the part of Ghostbusters when you open the fridge and see Zuul. Not that the Ghostbusters movie was anything like the concert, but I suppose both are awesome in different ways.

The show was like attending a live action nonstop stream of very different music videos. There were appropriate outfit and set changes with all of the quirks and snazzy special effects that comes standard with a huge arena type of show. Except she was playing at the Fox, which here in Atlanta is where the Symphony and the Ballet perform. It felt like attending your best friend's birthday party with about 5000 of your closest friends.

If she is coming to your town and you don't have tickets, seriously, try to go! Even through we already bought tickets way back in October, I was calling all of the radio stations and entering a million different sweepstakes so (I could get better seats....and) my sisters and friends could come too!!
