Variety Playhouse in Atlanta
Fantastic show. Friends & Family night at the Variety. A major shortage in merch prompted the band to do a raffle to give away some signed band gear to make up for it Their shipment did not make it to the Variety for the show in time. Bradford from Deerhunter joined on stage for the encore for an extended jam. Friday September 27 2019 Motor City South, Atlanta GA Five Eight w/Magnapop, Swingset Magnapop - record release show. The band having recently came off a two week jaunt to Europe and it showed. Played a few new numbers which sounded great. Covers of note: Thirteen (Big Star), Song #1(Fugazi) Five Eight - I can’t even remember the last time I saw Five Eight. I suspect it was the 90’s. Sounded like the never stopped playing to me. It was a great setting for a show. Lead Singer seemed to working something out onstage with his occasional ramblings but always came together as soon as they started playing. :) Friday September 27 2019 529, Atlanta GA Shantih Shantih w/NEC, Amen Sister Fortunately the Motor City show was an early start around 7pm. This gave us time grab dinner at Midway. We made it just in time for Shantih Shantih’s set. This was also a record release party. It was Julia’s (the drummer) B day as well. New songs sound fantastic.
