Have You Heard Session: Tealights from HaveYouHeard on Vimeo.

Tealights is the reincarnation of former Atlanta fey electro/experimental pop outfit One Hand Loves the Other, minus vocalist Lou Rodriguez. Judging by their performance for Haveyouheard.net the group has come a long way since changing their name, direction and shedding their frontman. The reinvented group combines a palette of electronics, cello, keys, guitar and live drums to conjure a darker, richer — though no less dramatic — sound than that of their previous group. The recordings captured during these sessions are amongst the first documented looks at what the band has in store.

In the indie world, you know you’re doing something special when David Bowie shows up to one of your gigs. The Thin White Duke could be spotted at Arcade Fire, TV on the Radio and Animal Collective shows right before the bands blew up. Unfortunately, Bowie hasn’t attended any shows of Atlanta band One Hand Loves the Other. However, at a recent New York show, the band got Liza Minnelli instead.

The Minnelli-endorsed StickFigure recording artists will be headlining a show at the Earl Aug. 9. Anyone who’s a fan of glitchy, spaced-out chamber pop (or local music) should be in attendance. The opening slot will be filled by ex-Sleater-Kinney Australian art-poppers ninetynine.
