[Above: NOBUNNY plays the second night of the Atlanta Mess-Around.] Like Day One of the Mess-Around, Day Two got off to an unusually early start for the Earl. But despite numerous warnings the previous evening that Saturday's festivities would get underway promptly at half past eight, the crowd was still unfortunately thin as Oxford, Mississippi's The Black and Whites kicked off the festival's second, poppier night.... read more

[Above: Baby Shakes play the first night of the Atlanta Mess-Around.]Though the three Atlanta labels behind the two-day Atlanta Mess-Around have released a diverse array of music, their punk and power pop offerings have evolved into the unquestionable centerpieces of the scene, as evidenced by the Mess-Around's line-ups: The second night would boast a strong pop sensibility, but the first was almost all about punk rock. ... read more

[Above: AIDS Wolf's Chloe Lum]It would be easy to call last Wednesday at the Earl a theme night: All three bands were intentionally loud and messy, all three led by female singers (none of whom played an instrument, the star-shaped tambourine wielded by Vera Fang's Zopi Kristjanson) and all three women gripped the microphone alone and howled into the audience. But that's where the similarities stopped.... read more

Oh, Atlanta. Here, any reason serves as an excuse to throw a music festival, and any two-day event can be called a festival. In this proud tradition, The Earl will host the Atlanta Mess-Around Nov. 14 and 15. Presented by Triple D's, Rob's House Records, Douchemaster Records and Die Slaughterhaus Records, it'll showcase the best in ATL DIY, featuring performances by The Spits, Carbonas, All Night Drug Prowling Wolves, Cheap Time, Wax Museums and Gaye Blades the first night, and Gentleman Jesse & His Men, Nobunny, Hex Dispensers, Baby Shakes, Black & Whites and Lover! the second night.

“The last time we played these songs, I couldn’t grow facial hair,” bassist Jared Swilley joked as PBR cans flew over the heads of the packed house at the Earl, where he and his Black Lips bandmates reconvened as The Renegades for a somewhat-secret show last Thursday night.... read more
Found in: Local:AtlantaBlack Lips to play The Earl as The Renegades tonight
It's rare for the The Earl's calendar page to sport no description whatsoever for a particular night's event. But the listing for tonight's show doesn't explain anything because, by all rights, the headlining band doesn't exist. That's right: The Renegades, a semi-fictional band portrayed by the members of Black Lips in the forthcoming Athens-centric film Let It Be, will put on a show tonight, accompanied by Jack of Heart, The Goodnight Loving and The Stolen Minks. (According to some, a few Black Lips folks briefly played in a local Atlanta band called the Renegades, but whether that act has any... read more
Found in: Local:AtlantaThe Black and Whites tour, Mess Around
"I need a good girl," go the very first words of The Black and Whites self-titled debut, "one who will not make out with her friends." It's a not-very-rock-'n'-roll sentiment from a quintessentially rock 'n' roll band, one that seems to pull equal influence from the poppiest moments of bands like Weezer and Guided by Voices and the punkiest moments of bands like the Ramones and Black Flag. Some of their songs are fast, some of them are slower. Many of them, such as "That Girl Ain't No Good," are about the ladies.... read more
