Deering & Down
Creative Loafing’s own music guru, Chad Radford will be celebrating his 34th birthday this evening at 529 in East Atlanta (across from the Flatiron). Come out and support our workaholic music writer as he takes advantage of some much needed party time. The event will feature performances from Deering & Down, a two-piece from Memphis, Tenn., with a certain country appeal. Greg King, singer and lead songwriter from Carbonas, will also be on hand with his new band G.G. King, as well as Predator, the rugged punk trio who’s sounds are highly influenced by groups such as Buzzcocks, Trouble and Crime.
529. $3. 9 p.m. 529 Flat Shoals Rd. 404-228-6769. www.529atl.com.

The Black Lips' Ian St. Pe (right) looks uncertain as he backs up Hannibal at a January 2007 performance.
CL’s very own Chad Radford flew to New York City last week to interview James Shaw, aka the Mighty Hannibal, for this week’s cover story. Now Hannibal has returned the favor and finds himself in Atlanta prepping for tonight’s show at Eyedrum to celebrate the third anniversary of Mighty Hannibal Day.
Chad sat down for an interview with the soul legend yesterday at AM 1690 to discuss his political past and tonight’s show where Noot d’ Noot and his wife Delia Gartrell open.
