The young Savannah band Deep Search was recently booked to play the 2013 Savannah Stopover — one of a limited number of local acts playing the March 7-9 festival. (I have been and will be posting a lot about Stopover.) On Saturday, Feb. 2, Deep Search will be playing a really promising gig in the interesting upstairs room at The Sparetime with Elim Bolt and Brave Baby.
This is the same night as the closing of the Savannah Film Festival, but I’m definitely going to try to do both events if possible. Future Islands is a great band deserving of strong local support.
My first stop last Saturday was Graveface Fest in the courtyard and one of the adjacent buildings at Southern Pine Company near East Broad and 35th streets. The aging urban commercial space has the character and the scale to host a wide range of public gatherings.
The No Control Mini Fall Festival occupied part of the sprawling Southern Pine Company — a few vendors were in the courtyard and a busy lineup of bands played in the airy old workshop at the north end of the site. Despite all the hard surfaces, the space turned out to be great for music.
Featuring Black Moth Super Rainbow, The Casket Girls, CUSSES, Serengeti, The Marshmallow Ghosts, Dreamend, David Liebe Hart (of Tim & Eric) doing an all puppet performance, The Stargazer Lilies, and Creepoid
The twice-yearly event once again will be held at Southern Pine Company at 35th and East Broad streets in Savannah. Eight bands are scheduled for this all ages event.
