Other Sound Festival

From the venue:

Now quietly in its sixth year, the Other Sound Festival boasts a stellar Atlanta-centric lineup of who's-almost-who: avant-folksters the Back Pockets, beguiling garage-pop crew Mermaids, and spaced rockers Abby Go Go will all perform, as will King Congregation, Odist, Oryx and Crake, and an assload of others. Ten bucks gets you into the evening shows at Star Bar and the Five Spot, while daytime jams at Criminal Records and Java Lords are free for everyone. Music festivals in Atlanta — especially good ones — are oh-so-rare, so, y'know, let’s keep this thing going.
