Band spotlight: Pride Parade

Pride Parade
Sounds like: Queens of the Stone Age/Kyuss. Melodic, sludgy, heavy three guitar attack from some of the guys who brought you Athens' Brown Frown.
Listen: Here and over at Southern Shelter where Sloan Simpson posted some awesome live tracks when the boys opened for Harvey Milk.
Personel: Andrew, BJ, Bubba, Aaron and Allen.
See them: May 10th - the band's CD Release party here at Nuci's Space. The show is all-ages.

Athens Soundies: Eikon Productions

Athens Soundies is the latest project from Eikon Productions and Jason Miller, Ethan Payne and Jason Luttrell. The project is a series of short "one take, low-fi, live sound music videos."

Based on Vincent Moon's incredible website TakeAwayShows, the Athens Soundies have got a great lineup of local and not-so-local talent playing acoustic shows in untraditional locales. So far, Soundies videos include songs from Nate Nelson, The Corduroy Road and Ted Franklin.

Check out the Athens Soundies Myspace page for all their regular videos, plus songs by Drakkar Sauna featuring their cousins Claire and Page Campbell (Hope For Agoldensummer) on backing vocals.

David Hill's Imagine Something Tour

David Hill is a student at UGA. Starting the second week in May, he'll be touring and playing music - twenty-one cities in the eastern United States and Canada in seven days - and taking Nuçi's Space along with him.

David is looking for people to sponsor him (per mile) during his trip - and the money he raises will come back to Nuçi's Space.
From the Imagine Something Tour website:

Unfortunately, there are people who can't recognize their dreams because they are no longer with us; this trip is in their memory as well. Recently I spoke with a friend of mine whose father committed suicide. I learned how my friend's life was changed forever because his father felt he couldn't continue living. I thought about multiple friends I've had through the years that ended their lives for different reasons. They can't follow their dreams now.

Check out David's awesome website here and read more about this really cool trip.
