Hello America. Congratulations again on making me smile.

Tonight at Spaceland is a very American show and I mean that in the nicest way. Dead Confederate, a titular rock group hailing from Athens, GA (home of REM and Of Montreal) will be playing tonight with ambling rockers, Apollo Sunshine. Rolling Stone named Dead Confederate one of six artists to watch and I think the Onion summed them up perfectly when they said “they sound like Bleach-era Nirvana covering My Morning Jacket.” Couldn’t say it better myself. Their new album, Wrecking Ball is out now on Gary Gersh’s TAO label and they recently performed on the Conan O’Brien show.

Be there or be square.
