Crib Notes

Submitted by: Niki Lemeshka 

Kill Hannah @ Masquerade (Hell). Fri., Aug. 1.

Androgynous-voiced frontman Mat Devine kicked off Chicago quintet Kill Hannah’s set with “Boys and Girls.” Devine commanded the stage, sprinkling sugary-goth tunes with odd orders — including a sporting-event-worthy wave.  The appreciative crowd, which ranged in age from teens to an unlikely 40-plus set, happily obliged his requests.  After an almost two year absence, fans enjoyed standout tracks including “Kennedy” and “Lips Like Morphine.”  The light box and laser-fused stage spectacle entertained — even during yet-to-be-released track “Acid Rain” — as the fog-filled hotbox erupted into a dancehall.

CL’s Vibes section has something special in the works: You.

We’re reaching out to readers who are interested in being guest critics by writing mini-reviews of local concerts. All submissions will be posted on our music blog for other readers to see. And the writer of the best mini-review (as judged by our editorial staff) will win a pair of tickets to an upcoming concert in Atlanta and the opportunity to be published in print.

Every week, the winning review will be published on our new weekly CL Vibes backpage, which debuts Aug. 6.

All you have to do is write about any concert that takes place in Atlanta this weekend and submit the review by 8 a.m. Monday morning, August 4 in accordance with the rules below.
