Show Preview: The Earl’s 11th anniversary

Thurs., July 8

It’s hard to believe that 11 years have whizzed by since the Earl opened its doors in the East Atlanta Village - a neighborhood that looked something like a demilitarized zone back then. Now it’s the epicenter of Atlanta’s late-night bar crowd and indie rock scene. To celebrate, it’s throwing a four-day celebration (July 8-11) with a two-night stand from recently revived surf-rock extraterrestrials Man or Astro-Man?, as well as Gentleman Jesse, the Coathangers, Twin Tigers and more.
