Creative Loafing’s recommended shows for Mon., Nov. 3
Monday, November 3rd, 2008
DUNCAN SHEIK, LAUREN PRITCHARD Sheik is one of the more interesting and talented of the contemporary college music crooners, showing more insight into human nature and a better sense of melody and structure than most of his peers. He had a few hits in the past, but seems content to float through town and play the bars these days. Broadway singer/actress Pritchard opens. $20. 8 p.m. Smith’s Olde Bar. 404-875-1522. www.smithsoldebar.com. – JK
SONIC GENERATOR Homemade circuit boards, Norwegian memories, pop-icon Marilyn Monroe, and the final speech of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. are among the inspirations for Sonic G’s performance of seven new works written in the last eight years by Paula Matthusen, Marco Buongiorno Nardell, Cody Wright, Tristan Perich, Anna Clyne, and Jacob Ter Veldhuis. Amid all of that, the group hangs onto its mission to demonstrate the connections between technology and music. Free. 8 p.m. Georgia Tech Alumni House. 404-385-7257. www.sonicgenerator.gatech.edu. – MG
