Night 7- More Than Words

Several hours before the doors opened at Smith’s Olde Bar for Night Seven of 500 Songs for Kids, the word spread that Atlanta’s own Manchester Orchestra would be performing. Although Manchester took to the stage with exuberant applause, the group quickly quieted the packed crowd with their emotional version of Neil Young’s “My My, Hey Hey.” Another hometown band made famous, Drivin’ N’ Cryin’ followed Manchester’s acoustic set with an amped up version of Tom Petty’s “American Girl.” The piano was a popular instrument Wednesday as many solo musicians took beyond the keys for some of the night’s most memorable performances from covers of “Fur Elise,” Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now,” and CosmoKnox’s inventive take on the theme from Chariots of Fire.

Check out all of Night 7’s photos!

SXSW 2010: Friday, March 19

Although Atlanta artists played many showcases throughout SXSW, on Friday they all converged onto one: We Put the A in Austin. Producing a diverse lineup of mostly hip-hop and rock acts, We Put the A in Austin benefited from an awesome lineup, a unique two-story club layout at the Light Bar, as well as a frequent open bar courtesy of Belvedere Vodka. Weapons of Audio (formerly Futureshock) and Hollyweerd got the party going downstairs, while alternative acts like Mermaids, The Judies, and indie songstress BOSCO performed on the rooftop. Spree Wilson and The 54 also performed on the roof with their mixture of rock and hip-hop beats. Frequent SXSW performers Ocha La Rocha rounded out the rock diversity on the upstairs stage, while The Falcon Lords made sure everyone was having a good time by dancing with the crowd. Check out all the photos from We Put the A in Austin here!
