Crib Notes

Part-time No River City players Mark Carbone (bass) and Nathan Green (keyboard) have joined forces with CJ Bargamian (formerly of Crybaby and Myssouri and various other long gone Atlanta underdogs) to spearhead a new band, called A Fight to the Death.

The group first materialized as Bargamian’s solo project, dubbed Chris Bargamian & A Fight to the Death in 2006 with the self-released album, American Literature. End of Continent Sadness followed in ‘07.

Together now with a full line-up that also features Colin Jaccino (bass) and George Wallace (pedal steel) the group crafts a rolling and dusty rumble that’s driven by heavy percussions, wafting organ and lap-steel textures and a rustic, gypsy-esque Americana traipse. AFTTD doesn’t have as much in common with the humid, country pace of No River City, but draws more to the world of Western film scores than anything else.

The group’s debut LP is in the works and scheduled for a July 19^th release party at The Highland Inn Ballroom Lounge. Songs from the forthcoming release can be heard here, and if you are so intrigued by the tunes on their Myspace page, you can can check them out for free at The Star Bar tonight (as in Thurs., July 3) with Era of the Stereograph, Falcon Lords and the Sound Supreme. Music starts at 9 p.m.
