Comedian Andy Andrist in GA/TN next month

THIS JUST IN FROM COOL KID PRODUCTIONS :

Stand-up comedian Andy Andrist will be travelling cross-country from his hometown of Eugene, Oregon and will be performing a trio of shows in the southeast (Athens, Atlanta, and Chattanooga) in conjunction with the world premier of a new documentary film that follows Andrist on the road with a half-dozen other like-minded comedians collectively known as “The Unbookables”.

Consistently tackling taboo subjects, searing language, and a thoroughly bleak and pessimistic outlook on life has so far kept Andrist from becoming a household name, although his unique, uncompromising approach has earned the accolades of comedy veterans like Doug Stanhope, Jim Norton, and Paul Provenza.

Andrist’s resume includes staff writer positions with “The Man Show”, he’s sold joke material to “Blue Collar Comedy Tour” favorite Ron White, and in 2006 released his first full-length album of live stand-up: “Dumb It Down for the Masses”.
ATHENS, GA / CALEDONIA LOUNGE / MAY 4th
Doors 8pm / Show 9pm

Ladies and Gentlemen, THE RODNEY KINGS

Playing the Athens House Show circuit for about a year now, THE RODNEY KINGS have been causing quite a stir in the local music scene lately, being about as infectious as that 3 dolla scent.  Recently, they self released and recorded (with the aid of Wyatt Pless of FIGBOOTS) their very own self titled EP.  It only took a matter of DAZE before the CD found it’s way to HQ. Upon listening to the groups original material (and seeing them live a handful of times) they were ordered to come quickly and record at ONCE! for a GYPSY FARM release.  That is all for now, PLEASE enjoy them playing their LOVELY LOVELY LOVELY tune below, a delightful threat to your surf’n senses indeed : “BONES (BABY)”

GHOST LIGHTS in the GYPSY STUDIO

Without even giving the tubes a chance to cool down after the UNCLE SKUNKLE visit, HQ was once again put through a 3 day race to capture some golden goodness from Atlanta’s rockin power trio -otherwise known as GHOST LIGHTS. They also run a pretty radd house space in the city, properly named the GHOST HOUSE. These ghouls laid down 18 numbers during their stay, some for upcoming ghostly edibles, one of which is slated for a GYPSY FARM VINYL release coming soon, but I can say no more.

You however, can listen :
