Sound Menu January 13 2001 Wed week out

WED/JANUARY 17
CATFISH HODGE — Catfish Hodge is a quintessential blues/boogie/R&B veteran, having recorded 22 albums in a 30-year career. He grew up in Detroit under the sway of Motown Records and moved to Washington, D.C., in the early ’70s, where he was a mainstay at local clubs for a decade. In the ’80s he moved to California, forming the Bluesbusters with Little Feat alum Paul Barrere. The band recorded and toured until Little Feat regrouped in the late ’80s. Hodge now lives in Virginia. His band will feature guitarist Tom Principato and Nighthawks drummer Pete Ragusa. Blind Willie’s (Powell)
RICHARD DEVINE — See article. Fountainhead Lounge (Ware)
STIMULANTS, HELGAS, PINKEYE — The socially distorted semi-punk and always rocking Helgas continue their residency tonight at the Star Bar. You gotta hand it to the scruffy good-natured lugs — they sure know how to pick some cool bands to share their residency with. Tonight, Scooter and his average Joes will surround themselves with some of Atlanta’s hottest rawk girls. Sue and her revised and testiculated Stimulants (see Earshot), along with the sweetly punked-out Pinkeye, open. Star Bar (Smith)
