Deep Sea Diver at Bumbershoot 2012 (evening set)

Well, in a classic good news/bad news pronouncement, it has been announced that Seattle's Deep Sea Diver, featuring frontwoman Jessica Dobson of The Shins, will be headlining the previously announced Telekinesis gig at Atlanta's intimate Drunken Unicorn.  That's the good news.

The bad news is that they will be performing, no, not on a Monday, but on Saturday, May 4, the same day as Day One of the inaugural Shaky Knees Festival (Band of Horses, Gary Clark Jr., Jim James, The Joy Formidable, Heartless Bastards, Hanni El Khatib, The Black Angels and GOAT). 

I'm sticking with Shaky Knees because 1) I've already bought a ticket, and 2) I've seen Deep Sea Diver not once, but twice, before.  But if you can't say the same on both counts, you really should do yourself a favor and check them out - they have all the essential ingredients to be the next big thing, or at least a next big thing.
