High hopes: The Ninth Annual Great Atlanta Pot Festival, scheduled for May 6 at Centennial Park, is looking for bands with “extreme talent” and/or the drawing power to bring in 10,000 people. For more info, call 404-522-2267.
Electronica: A Benefit for Amnesty International is a first-year free event set for June 17 in Candler Park with a promising lineup of artists employing a varying ratio of sequencers to guitars. Scheduled performers include Sam Prekop (of indie pop band Sea and the Cake), bedroom krautrock/bedroom trip-hop band IQU (on noted indie K Records), local experimental electronic artist Prefuse 73 (aka Scott Herren, signed to Aphex Twin label Warp) and local groups Underwater and Aerial.
