NOTED ACTS

CRAVE — Leaving almost every craving satisfied, Susanne Hawn leads the hungry rockers of Crave through a set of fierce originals and a satisfying cover or two. Watch Hawn prowl the stage like a tigress after her prey. Tonight, she'll have a side-order of funky goodness on her plate as Cornbread leave a crumb-trail of soulful nuggets on the circular stage. Smith's Olde Bar (Smith)

THE GRANDMOTHERS — Lately a flurry of Zappa-related acts have hit the area, all claiming to feature some link to the late, great musician. Now a bunch of geezers are barnstorming the country claiming to be former members of the Mothers Of Invention. What would Zappa himself say about all this? Maybe Zappa's somewhere having a good laugh at our expense, as usual. Georgia Theatre/Athens (Smith)

IMMORTAL LEE COUNTY KILLERS — The final night of the Killers' month-of-Wednesdays arrives, with the band now warmed up as hot as the manifold on Cale Yarborough's stock car. Star Bar (Nicoll)

MASSINFLUENCE — Leaders of Atlanta's indie hip-hop scene, Massinfluence recently released a full-length CD, The Underground Science. Tonight, the three MCs and DJ Spearhead X drop their science above ground on a bill with Binkis Records. Masquerade (Sarig)
