]]> Last night, almost 300 people turned out for the Homegrown Holiday Hoedown at the American Legion Post #135, which showcased four great Savannah bands: The Train Wrecks, The Accomplices, Bottles and Cans, and City Hotel.

It’s not the best stage for photography (bad angles, low light, red backdrop) but I’ll post some pics of that show soon.

I’ve got a couple of gigs by touring acts on my music calendar — in the right sidebar>>>>>>> — but there’s also a big show at The Jinx tonight featuring local Savannah rockers Bear Fight.

It’s a big sound:


And check out Bear Fight’s trippy new video, “No Mind”, shot at a survival compound in Brooklet:

This is also the debut show for Crazy Bag Lady, which features members of Indian Giver. Take a listen:

It’s going to be a late, loud night at The Jinx.

]]> Post updated, 10/5
No Control’s Mini Fall Festival is scheduled for Saturday, October 6th.

The fest will be at Southern Pine Company at 616 East 35th St., along East Broad Street. There’s much more info on the Facebook event invitation.

$10 at the door. Doors open at 4 p.m., with DJs first and bands starting at 5:30.

The folks with CUSSES are the main organizers. Thanks in advance to them for their efforts in organizing this!

It’s an intriguing lineup of short sets by local and out-of-town acts, with an emphasis on youth. There have been a couple of lineup changes:

  • 4-5:30: DJs
  • 5:30-6: Sauna Heat
  • 6:15-6:45: Perhaps
  • 7-7:30: Hot Plate
  • 7:45-8:15: Deep Search
  • 8:30-9: Whaleboat
  • 9:15-9:50: Cement Stars
  • 10:05-10:40: Cloudeater
  • 10:55-11:30: Heyrocco
  • 11:45-12:30: Triathalon

A few clips and images:

I was very impressed with Heyrocco at the last No Control Festival:

Triathalon on Broughton Street for Fashion’s Night Out Savannah 2012.

Triathalon is one of the best young bands I’ve heard in a long time:

Sauna Heat is a garage rock band fronted by Triathalon’s Michael Younker:
