Saw half of the Black Lips not to [sic] long ago. The cool one was hanging out with these broads.
Saw half of the Black Lips not to long ago.
-
The cool one was hanging out with these broads.
-
The little one was cuttin’ it up on the ones and twos.
-
There are a lot of bands scrounging through Atlanta that have made somewhat of a scene for themselves. Amazingly they all get along.
Bands like the Coathangers.
-
Deerhunter
-
These little Buckaroos.
-
Those guys.
-
Saw one of these guys driving around in a blue car.
-
This guy is a promoter who runs Tight Bros. Network and makes sure the acts get their name out there.
-
So. .. .. umm blab blah blah the Black Lips started the record label Die Slaughterhaus which has worked as vehicle to expose a lot of these unheard of bands.
-
It’s a friendship of bands that play together, party with each other and put out their music with one another intermingled amongst an each of the other. The Spooks.
-
So I went to one these house parties where friends and bands alike throw down.
Felt sorry for this guy’s guitar playing digits, but then I remembered they’re a punk band which doesn’t require much “wailing.” Buddy said he had some disease or virus as a kid and his toes look like that to, good band though.
-
It’s not a party unless the cops show up right!? Did you ever notice that at every party there’s some girl that plays the “mommy” role and acts like the queen-bee.
-
Ruby ruby ruby-ruby soho?
-
Wire chick digs on the skunk dye slash sleeves tattoo job, or does she?
-
The emblem on the back of buddy’s jacket is the tattoo that all these cats get on their arm.
-
The proprietor of the Die Slaughterhaus label is run by this guy.
-
He plays the xylophone in a band called Baby Dinosaurs vs. Extinction. Here I am giving a “How’s your News” style interview with their guitar player. Please excuse the crude EDITING job; I had to cut the riff-raff out.
-
This girl is also in the band and knows how to do this.
-
This one is in another band that hangs.
-
This guy from that band was there.
-
We can’t forget the 50’s
-
The Mammals.
-
Very interesting
-
The only way to really be punk is the elements: dirty floor scrubber, one shit-pipe, and a bag of garbage.
-
Party starting to wind down with peeps posted up dreaming of floppy boobed calendar girls.
-
5:30AM Wish I could just go to one party in the ATL without hearing some whack ass freestyle battle.
-
This guy runs a blog that covers all the bands’ whereabouts; follow it if you want to be “down with the scene.”
nah
Does anyone not in Atlanta care about this other than you? I guess we’re about to find out.
Is everyone in Atlanta filthy? Half of these people are literally covered in shit.
Punk IT nerds are the bestest.
Wait, is that Quentin fucking Letts in the last picture?
( http://www.littleprincesses.org.uk/images/quentin_letts.jpg )
i’m moving to atl in a week. this is encouraging
The “cool” one from the Black Lips is one of the biggest douches i’ve ever met. but if your a girl it’s probably different
This party wins the award for “Most Documented House Party Ever”. Did you ever stop taking pictures and videos long enough to have a beer? Oh but that girl in the Wire shirt, ooooh.
There should be an entire post about the “pussy flambe.” I’m positive that’s the coolest thing I’ll see all day.
PUSSY FLAMBE!!!
How badass would it be if she could put the fire out with girl jizz?!?!
GIRL JIZZ EXTINGUISHERS. EXTIN-GUSHERS
Holy shit — I don’t know if I’ve ever seen such a comprehensive collection of hideously ugly people.
“man Says: i’m moving to atl in a week. this is encouraging”
I’ve lived out here for about 5 months… Prepare for disappointment.
mainly i’m going to just play poker and hang out with a close group of friends. if i just HAPPEN to sleep with a gorgeous black chick, well, okay.
Is it me or is the brunette on the right side of the second picture not the most adorable thing you’ve seen in ages? So hot.
@ wizard: I was thinking the same thang….I think I have to join/start a band cuz that nonsense makes the pussies quiver like nobody’s bizness
A whole ATL scene report and nothing about CARBONAS???!!!???
These photos make it seem like the ATL is more punk than New York? How is that even possible? Oh yeah, everyone there is dirt poor.
new yok aintbeen punk in yeers
ATLANTA LOOKS SHIT… But Deerhunter rocks it.
How is Jared a “Douche”? Him and Cole (the “little” one) are some of the best kids around. You’d rather listen to the Newmore Bitchblades or whatever the fuck?
Anyways.. the Atlanta scene is a little stagnant now (the lips are hardly ever home.. deerhunter has gotten huge.. alot of the good bands like Beat Beat Beat.. have broken up etc..) plus the new Lennys is NOT the fucking venue that the old one was. I’d say that Atlanta was a punk mecca maybe 3-5 years back.. when the Lids, Lips, Carbonas.. etc played the same bill and Lennys was the de facto shit house. There alot of promising new bands on the scene though.. the coathangers are getting better. Alot of bad skinhead oi shit too tho sadly.
i miss home.
you equate hipster with punk.
Black Lips are great
Haven’t all you guys realized the South East is the new Seattle?
Richard Nixon – Unlike most “hipsters” in NY or the east coast most Atlanta ones will put a foot to your ass.
http://www.viceland.com/int/guide_atlanta/htdocs/musical-inbreeding-112/2.jpg
And also, I wanna put penises in mouth and suck ‘em real good.
Coathangers?
which calendar is that?
JJ Says: Richard Nixon – Unlike most “hipsters” in NY or the east coast most Atlanta ones will put a foot to your ass.
I think this is an example of one of the things I hate the most about the people in ATL… They have some weird overcompensating type of hometown pride thing. Whether its turds like JJ (albeit he’s not even the only one), composing ferocious life-threatening blog posts about feet in ass, defending a shit city like ATL, or the hundreds of cliché hipster turds at Fuck Yesss @ Drunken Unicorn, pairing fucking glittery Atlanta Brave hats with their ubiquitous Urban Outfitters uniform, chanting “A.T.L.” during electro DJ sets…totally proud of Atlanta’s Lil’ John legacy.
Fucking etc…
I’m not writing this to rain on anyones parade… If you really have convinced yourself you dig ATL, than good for you. I’m not trying to sound “cooler than thou.” Remember, I’m stuck in this dump with you shitstains, too.
The place isn’t that great, is all I’m saying…
http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2008/04/we-fun-atlanta-ga-inside-out-filmmakers-post-trail.html
These people look boring and have no style. I wonder what kind of conversations they have.
anahiem looks better
WELL THE LAVERN AND SHIRLY WOMAN IN THE RED POLKA-DOTTED SKIRT SHOULD PROBABLY NOT BE DRIKNING AND SMOKING IN THE SEDCOND TRI-MESTER
i agree with the WIZARD. holy shit, i’ll never see anything like that again(most likely i will but goddammmit is she hot. woooooooooooooooot)
Somebody missed a good opportunity to gas a whole shitload of undesirables.
Actually, jared is a douche. cole is cool as shit tho
JJ, you think the oi shit is bad now (it isn’t, its pretty much non-existent) you weren’t around atlanta in the late 90s. you would have crapped your pants. Thank god they mostly disappeared around the turn of the century.
iiiiiiiiiiiiii thought this was pretty interesting… and not overly “douchey” (stop saying that d-word btw)
also the one and only GUCCI MANE LA FLEUR rules over atlanta right now so basically anything to do with that place i am going to support.
andyeah
Normal guy – we’ll agree to disagree regarding Jared but I lived in Atlanta nearly all my life. I saw my fair share of Adolf and piss artist shows and people of their circle etc. I couldn’t legally go to shows until the mid 90s.. so all i remember is a lot of bad masqurade friendly metal and oi bullshit until the new crop started turning up.. but then we had bands like the Rent Boys etc.. who were always great.
That seemed nice.
the only thing of interest here is the wire girl.
black lips and deerhunter why are you playing seattle next wknd but not vancouver. why are you only coming to vancity in july. i will kill you all.
this “pussy flambe” BS is old news. it looks cooler when done under a bridge, rather than on a stage.
this scene looks the same as every other scene in the country. and i dont give a fuck about any of them.
Any little ragtag do of people can look like something “off the fucking chain” if you dont know anyone there. These people, like 99% of people in house parties, are probably really fucking boring and corny as fuck like ‘alt’ people tend to be.
one time i went to a party. it was ok.
except for the fact that we’re better than you
and I post with my real name faggot
I love it when people get all tough guy on message boards. “Ooooh, you gon kickity kick me ass sumpin speshul down in duh shwamp hard man? Oooooh. Me poopoo.”
This shit makes me long for Val and Arv. It also makes me see the genius of Blognigger in a much more intense way. In conclusion, I hope that this site remains a vehicle for northern bullshit.
Atlanta sucks. Hands down
I heard Jarred Swilley loves penis… Can you confirm that, Jarred?
There’s no way your middle initial is X. Get real.
Xavier
yes I do faggot
I hear Jared Swilley tried out to be a member of Gravy Train!!! At his audition he wore a butt plug that had a piece that wrapped under his taint and had a little cup on the end that held one ball at a 90 degree angle from his then erect penis.
Can you confirm this, Jared Swilley
I wouldn’t mind if an asteriod hit Atlanta tomorrow..thanks for bringing us more on these fabulous social parasites you mistakenly call”punk”..Drinking for the sake of drinking and trying to be “rebellious” by flipping off the camera in every photo opportunity….yet craves the acceptance of society, pretends to be broken but is just is a pussy, is a conformist at heart, and could not live without validation of their worth from other people and “hipster” benefactors like yourselves…
One good way to tell your argument is bullshit is when the bulk of your criticism is based on what people “think” or “pretend” rather than anything they’ve actually said, done, worn. Also, what the hell is wrong with drinking for the sake of drinking? What other sake is there?
BTW, I would bet 20-45 dollars that all this Swilley/ATL hate is coming from that black kid in Gravy Train who wrote an entire MRR column about how the Black Lips and everyone else in Atlanta are all racists because he heard some drug dealer at a party say the nig-word. I’m an impartial observer in all this shit, but I’ve got to say, get over it already.
“…I would bet 20-45 dollars that all this Swilley/ATL hate is coming from that black kid in Gravy Train…”
No… I think it’s because of the whole butt-plug/testicle-supporter thing.
That’s just too much accessorizing when his crotchless leopard print thong would suffice.
Ever heard of trying too hard.
Co-sign on the asteroid hitting Atlanta thing.

Ha. Responding to criticism on a four-day-old thread barely an hour after said criticism is posted = guilty as charged
Does Goad still do IP checks for this site? I’ve got 25 bucks on Bay Area for Bubbleguts!/ Whatyouwant/whatyouget (They even sound like Gravy Train song titles)
People that define themselves by what they consume=Atlanta hipstershits
Wizard is right..Atlanta hotness is the brunette girl!
She is the finest girl I have ever seen.
This makes me want to move across the country.
Self-righteous college dropouts still toeing the late-80s PC line and holding insanely personal grudges against every other city in the country while playing in a third-rate SSION ripoff band = Berkeley’s cream of the crop
andy warhol deserved to die
