The Whigs rock The Variety Playhouse...

The Whigs blew the roof off the Variety Playhouse this month. It wasn’t the first time that these guys have rocked this venue, about six months ago they played to a sold out crowd when they played with the Kooks. The trio was formed in Athens, Georgia while Parker and Julian were attending the University of Georgia. One thing can be said about a Whigs show, you have to come ready for a full energy show because you will get nothing less. These guys truly feel their music and their passion can be felt throughout the entire venue no matter how big or small.


The Whigs are getting ready to release their third album on March 2, 2010 and after the last two, I can’t wait to see what else these guys are going to throw at us!

Imogen Heap...

If you haven’t taken the time to hear what this artist is kicking out you need to. She began writing songs at the age of thirteen after her parents separated. She was classically trained in several instruments including cello and clarinet, however she taught herself a lot of what she knows in sequencing, music engineering, sampling and production. Her music contains manipulated sounds of all kinds to create something very unique and moving for her audience. I have heard some say she is the next Tori Amos and I can see the resemblance. The sold out show at the Variety Playhouse was full of energy. I was especially impressed with how mush she spoke to the audience and carried on conversations with them, but when the time came for her to start playing the audience was so respectful of the talent, otherwise they would find themselves getting looped into the song and Imogen would call them out for it. She had a great attitude and presence on stage. This show is one you don’t want to miss, but you may find it hard to get a ticket. Imogen is currently has eighteen shows left on her tour and eleven of those shows are sold out. The New York show was moved to a bigger venue and sold out again. This one is HOT and I have a feeling she has a lot more steam to push out there for us.

Perez Hilton Presents...

Perez Hilton? Who? I wasn’t really sure who this guy was, but after his name and even face popped in front of me several times in one week I figured I needed to find out a little more. He is a guy that has made his way by blogging about the celebs, pretty crazy, right? He currently has put together the “Perez Hilton Presents” tour. I wasn’t real sure what I was getting myself into as I headed down to the Variety Playhouse, but when I got there I was pleasantly surprised. The bands that performed here in Atlanta were Semi Precious Weapons, Ida Maria and Ladyhawke…all of which I was impressed with. Perez Hilton hung out in the crowd as the bands played and in between took pictures with his fans. Although I was a little hesitant when I was first assigned to cover this event, it turned out to be something I was glad I didn’t miss!
