A little old school but definitely worth watching.

This past Friday I had the pleasure of going to see Blue October at the Roxy here in Atlanta. By far my favorite band of 2006. Alternative with songs that echo lost love, suicide, friendship, and hope.

The band is best known for the singles “Hate Me” and “Into the Ocean” from the album Foiled. The band was formed in 1996 and currently consists of Justin Furstenfeld (lead vocals), Jeremy Furstenfeld (drums, percussion), Ryan Delahoussaye (violin/viola, mandolin, keyboards, vocals), C.B. Hudson (guitar), and Matt Noveskey (bass guitar).

Check them out…NOW.

This past past Wednesday I had the pleasure of seeing Carbon Leaf at Smith’s Olde Bar here in Atlanta. Great band to see live..they were grateful of the turnout (even with the weather turning to freezing rain). Some of my highlights included “Under the Wire” and the encore “The War Was in Color.” What’s even more impressive was the fact that the show started promptly on time (my history of going to see shows at small venues prepared me for a tardy performance and a later-than-planned evening).

In short- the band can play. When you have an accordion on stage that’s a recipe for a sure-thing in my book. From their calendar it looks like they’ll be in Austin tonight (Luke- go see them!). More about the band and discography here and here. And yes, they’re on iTunes.
