CRITIC'S PICKS: Five Eight Holiday Show
Five Eight Holiday Show w/ The Ladies Of…
Fri., Dec. 12
Five Eight, The Ladies Of, Smith's Olde Bar - There aren't many indie rock bands that can claim to have their original lineup intact 38 years after forming. That's just part of the inspiring story of Athens pop-punk rockers Five Eight with a new album on the way, their 10th (as yet untitled), helmed by famed Drive-By Truckers/Sugar producer/player David Barbe. The band is also the subject of a full-length documentary (Weirdo:The Story of Five Eight) about their extensive career. But they don't play often enough, which probably guarantees a sellout. Better yet, veteran Atlanta indie rocker James Hall, with his current group, opens. A new holiday song, recorded with both acts, is also available. It should be old-home week for lots of '80s punks, now graying family men and women, but also a lot of fun. - Hal Horowitz
