Indianapolis Jones and The CD Release Party

One week from tonight on Friday, May 2 Indianapolis Jones will host a night of music, fun, and spectacle to celebrate their new CD release at The Goat Farm with special guests Yip Deceiver. The event is 18+ and doors open at 8pm. Tickets are only $10. Buy tickets here.

Combining some of Atlanta's most talented musical forces, Jones is fronted by Nicholas Niespodziani (Y-O-U, Yacht Rock Revue), Tim Smith (Jellyfish, Noel Gallagher and the High-Flying Birds), and Jason Nackers (Second Shift, Constellations). Think of Jones as more of an original rock odyssey encompassing various prisms of high notes and influencial movements from The Beatles, psychedelic funk, electric synth, and even contemporaries like The Black Keys and Daft Funk. This band needs to be on your musical radar.

This week Jones released a new music video for their song "Not Ghosts Yet". The collaboration of music, design, as well as Niespodziani's rhythmic jump rope makes "Not Ghosts Yet" the perfect taste of what is still to come from the band's music and live shows. Check out the video below, and watch Jones in action live on May 2.

Reagan Rockin' at Park Tavern

Friday, April 11 Yacht Rock Revue hosted their annual back to the future- or, past- timewarp celebration of Reagan Rock Prom; an excuse for us all to pile on the blue eyeshadow, bangles, and dust off the ol' ruffled tux. This year's prom partiers did not disappoint. Although many dressed to impress, this year's winning Reagan Rock Prom King and Queen raised the bar with coordinating pastels, metallics, and sky high hair. Congrats to the featured couple on their totally rad look and a pair of tickets to this year's Yacht Rock Revival.

InstaRecap: 500 Songs for Kids 2014- Weekend 1

The 8th Annual 500 Songs for Kids music celebration kicked off on April 10 at Smith's Olde Bar. The four weekend fundraiser for Songs for Kids Foundation provided some of the event's most memorable moments to date.

Skid Row kicked things off on night one with a cover of Cheap Trick's "Surrender" from this year's 500 Song countdown as well as rocking the house with their own classic, "Youth Gone Wild." Other standout performances from the weekend included Dead Confederate's T. Hardy Morris covering Neil Young, Heavy Mojo bringing down the house with U2, and others. However, the most extraordinary performance came from Nicolas Duncan; a young man who is an extremely talented piano player and former children's hospital patient and Songs for Kids recording artist.

This weekend 500 Songs will host the weekend's countdown at The Earl starting Thursday, April 17. Admission is pay what you want, so please make an effort to support this amazing charity and the fantastic artists who perform.
