Analogue Atlanta Dominick Brady

 


Atlanta's arts scene is exploding. Part of this explosion is a new found fervor in Photography. With recent shows from Neda Abgahri, continued works from Hannibal Matthews, Zach Wolfe and the emergence of Atlanta Celebrates Photography, there has been a complement to the event and nightlife photography of The Midnight Socialite, Lee Starnes and others. But what of new talent in this space? How does one find their voice amongst the clutter of camera phones, digital cams and hobbyists? Analogue Atlanta sat down with Nikita Gale to talk about her work, her struggle and her search for that voice.

 

Atlanta has been home to Alternative "Urban" or Urb-Alt music for decades. This episode I speak with Cufrock, formerly of Atlanta-Based Major Label (Virgin/Arista)group El Pus. We talk about the beginnings of his sound, the early 90s Atlanta scene and how his sound graduated into fusion from Hip Hop.

A conversation with Dillon Maurer & The Dolldaze about their entering and finding footing in the Atlanta music scene.  Dillon Maurer is an MC hailing from Jacksonsville, Florida who arrived in Atlanta after college.  We discuss his new record "Studies in Hunger" as well as his influences and sound.  The Dolldaze is part of what has become an all encompassing term for everything urb-alt and black: "Afro-punk".  She talks about how she came to love music as well as how she is creating her own sound.

Atlanta Afro-Punk quartet Tendaberry stops by the studio to talk about their experience as a group forming and beginning to come into their own in the Atlanta music scene. In this pod we talk at length about the Atlanta Indie Rock scene, the AUC (Morehouse, Clark-Atlanta & Spelman) music and arts scene and about what it means to them being Black punk musicians. We discuss their rubbing shoulders and working with ATL-scene acts like Jaspects, Deep Cotton, Janelle Monae, London, Spree Wilson, Lmarr the Great, Smalleyez & now defunct group The Slack Republik. The interview is a walk through the gritty streets of Atlanta's west end, a re-introduction into the University of Georgia's college-town music scene in Athens and a discussion of what it takes to persevere as musicians toeing the line of soul and punk.
