While seeing my friend Allison's band at the Eyedrum art gallery/concert space for the first annual EarBall music festival, I was lucky enough to also catch the Falcon Lords, perhaps Atlanta's greatest undiscovered musical treasure. This is a trio of musicians (vox, guitar, bass, using backing tracks) whose gimmick is to dress up as superheroes (and in great homemade costumes, I might add), donning not only their costumes, but also the characters they've created, even to the extent that after their shows they stay in character.
Add to this the fact that their music and musical abilities are quite good, and you've got a super-fun party band that would be extremely ideal for our group to have a show with someday. The style is more or less some kind of amalgamation of hip-hop, indie rock, and perhaps even a bit of 60's pop, and their presentation is nothing short of inspired (in a kitschy sort of way).
Anyway, can't wait to see them again. Hopefully the connections I made with them will serve us well as we start setting up gigs. Good times.
