Geology 101 at Highland Inn tonight (Wed., Jan. 14th)
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009The Lost Cause DJs (a.k.a. Adam Renshaw and Shannon Mulvaney of Anna Kramer and the Lost Cause) bring “Geology 101″ to the Highland Inn tonight from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Prepare yourself for a history of “rock” as they spin records that school all within earshot about the ins and outs and obscurities of music that matters. Expect a face full of power pop, bong rock jams, punk, metal and psychedelic journeys. You will hear a lot of songs that you know and love, and you’ll hear even more that you’ve never heard before. Renshaw and Mulvaney are a couple of record store dudes. This kind of thing is what they do, and they do it well.
Free. The Highland Inn Ballroom Lounge. 644 North Highland Ave. 404-874-5756.
Local fixture ANNA KRAMER has secretly dominated Atlanta’s country, folk and under-ground rock scenes for the last decade via her various solo and band efforts. With her current trio, the Lost Cause, featuring Shannon Mulvaney (upright bass) and Adam Renshaw (drums), she has perfected a body of songs that captures the true spirit of an urbane Southern troubadour. There’s more dang than twang on her 2008 release, The Rustic Contemporary Sounds of Anna Kramer and the Lost Cause (International Hits). And you can’t call it alt-country without giving equal props to the palette of ’70s Brit invasion and ’90s indie rock that gives just as much kick to her strut.
