The EARL in Atlanta
Due to the 6pm start time which we had just learned of day of show and the line up listed not being completely accurate we missed Tiger! Tiger! which was not our intention. Chrome Castle played their wonderful surf loungey instro music which I enjoyed quite a bit. The Woggles - Can we honor this band just for their sheer energy level? It has been years since we have seen them and they brought it. Great cover of Eddie Floyd’s Big Bird. Definitely inspired to see them sooner and not later. Friday June 28 2019 The Earl, Atlanta GA Ben Trickey Full Band w/Shy Layers, US Prisms, Moses Nesh We are really beginning to have bad track record recently of trying to get to a show on time. Luckily we made it in time for Ben. It was the 1st Full Band show he has done all year. We both were thinking the same thing - We dig Ben in his solo or “trio” format better. Missed US Prisms and was told that I would dig them. Mellow crowd. This is typical the weekend before the July 4th holiday week. We bumped into several friends walking on the way to the show. Love the EAV. Wednesday July 10 2019 The Earl, Atlanta GA Wand w/Dream decay, Shepherds Wand - in support of their latest album “Laughing Matter” which they played the majority of it! Saving a couple of older songs for the encore “Flying Golem” & “Melted Rope”... I must write that Evan Burrows is one my favorite drummers ever. I keep saying this to myself every time I see them. Ok it’s out there. I said it. Corey stated that Atlanta is like a 2nd 3rd or 4th home to them and complimented the Earl on being 20 and a little bit comedy/banter ensued. Dream Decay - on tour with Wand. 1st time in Atlanta. Blown Away. Shepherds- original bass player Peter Cauthorn sat in for Vinny. Did a great job. Band sounded great. Wiggins doing sound - nuff said.
