The District Attorneys might be from Atlanta, but their latest release is an breezy, ocean soaked summer hit that feels delivered straight from the west coast. With vocal harmonies and an infectious melody from the opening organ to sustained guitar and drum beats, "California Fire" will have you humming along on just on the second listen and craving some sunny rays. "California Fire" is a previously unreleased track off The District Attorneys first full-length album currently in the works. Take a listen below and let us know what you think.
Attorneys have been pretty busy throughout the summer performing at The Earl, Smith's Olde Bar, and AthFest. This Saturday, catch them close out the outdoor stage for The Buckhead Theatre's One Year Anniversary Music Festival. The band is just one of many talent artists that are slated to play the all-day festival. Doors open at 1PM and music runs from 1:30-11:30PM with Attorneys playing at 10:30PM. Tickets are currently available at $15 for Saturday's event or $30 for a two-day pass including Drivin' N' Cryin's Friday night performance at the theatre .« June 2011 | Main | August 2011 »

Yacht Rocking with Santa and Mrs. C
Friday, July 8 Please Rock hosted another sold-out event at Park Tavern. Christmas in July with Yacht Rock Revue included the smoothest act in town performing a mostly 1980s set list with the occasional holiday tune before a packed house. While the band kept the crowd in jolly spirits out on the dance floor, Santa Claus and the wife stayed cool indoors at Mixtape Atlanta's photo booth. If you took a photo in the booth, check out what is sure to be your new Christmas card here. All photo takers got an instant spot on the "Nice List."

Jingle Bells in July
Why wait five more months to sing holiday songs and revel in Christmas merriment? Yacht Rock Revue doesn't think you should. The smoothest rockers in town are celebrating Christmas in July this Friday, July 8 at Park Tavern. Since no holiday event would be complete without a Mixtape Atlanta photo booth, we will be there too with Santa AND Mrs. Claus. The jolly couple have traveled south for the summer and will be ready to pose with you and yours in our photo booth, which will include summer and holiday props.
Doors open at 7PM and tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Yacht Rock will be entertaining the masses with hits from the 1980s and the occasional holiday ditty. If you've ever wondered what it'd be like to attend a party thrown by President Reagan and Santa, head to Park Tavern tomorrow.

Dream a Little Dream
For two weeks in June 2011, the Black Box Theater at 7 Stages was transformed into the mythical, mysterious labyrinth of The Minotaur's Dream. The quick paced production based on every aspect of Greek mythology was produced by Odd Man Out Theater Company and written and directed by Odd Man's founder Timothy Gray.
Before the June 11 sold-out show, Mixtape Atlanta supplied a Greektastic themed photo booth to celebrate the theme of the play as well as Odd Man Out's ten year anniversary. Get photos, here!
