Rocktober is now in full swing. Tonight, the discriminating Atlanta concert goer has to choose from among The Dodos and Dustin Wong at The Drunken Unicorn, Ted Leo and Aimee Mann at Variety Playhouse, Cody Chestnutt at The Loft, and Kisses at Smith's Olde Bar.
Tonight, I'm going to none-of-the-above, and checking out Quiet Hounds at the Atlanta History Center for a special, one-time performance titled Swans and Embers.
Quiet Hounds are no strangers to theatrical, historically-themed performances. Here they are performing Lost Souls and Pocket Change as part of An Ode To Lost Souls at the Goat Farm on November 17, 2012. Dude, I was there! (The picture up top is the stage from their February 25, 2012 debut performance.)
An Ode to Lost Souls was performed in one of the Goat Farm's historic, late 1800's industrial buildings. The Hounds constructed the staging, lights, sound, and artwork for the performance in honor of soldiers who died at Andersonville prison in 1864.
Quiet Hounds might be one of Atlanta's best-kept secrets. These guys could/should be filling concert halls across the country, if not the globe, but tonight they'll be playing at the ornate Swan House mansion, home of the Atlanta Historical Society.
