Dec 17 at The Earl – Jeffrey Butzer and TT Mahoney bring you Charlie Brown’s Christmas Special

While the majority of Christmas music can—and should be—relegated to novelty status, Vince Guaraldi’s A Charlie Brown Christmas cannot. The jazzy, mostly instrumental album is considered one of the best Christmas albums ever due largely to the melodic and introspective tone it maintains. For the third year, the album will be performed in its entirety by Atlanta’s Jeffrey Bützer and T.T. Mahony. Opening the show this year will be Sorry No Ferrari performing the surf, instrumental The Venture’s Christmas Album. Remembering the first two years sold out, the guys have added a second matinee show.

The concert opens on December 17th at 9:30 and ends with a matinee on December 18th at 6:00. While the matinee is non-smoking, both shows are $10 and 21+

Listen to ‘Christmastime is here’ from the original soundtrack

Photo Recap of Halloween 2010 at The Earl

We were on hand for Halloween at The Earl 2010. West End Motel played an unforgettable and shockingly amazing set with the addition of singer Karen Cheshire and various other additional/occasional band members. Unfortunately, we did not get any pictures of the evening’s headliner, but as seen above, we did capture Marlo dressing up like a Fiend without a Face. Walk from the Gallows and Daikaiju can also be seen performing, but the true stars of the evening were the audience members and their costumes.

Feb 3 – Picaflor sponsors Benefit for Haiti at The Earl

Driven by a desire to help in some way, however big or small, with the current crisis in Haiti, Grand Prize Winners from Last Year, Los Buenos, and Book of Colors will perform a benefit show at the EARL February 03, with all proceeds going to the Atlanta-based CARE International and their relief efforts in Haiti.

“None of us have much money and we realized any donation we made personally would be minor and might not make much of a difference,” said Justin Sias, singer and bassist for Los Buenos and a co-organizer of the event. “We wanted to help give East Atlanta and the folks in our small scene a chance to get involved in helping those whose lives have been devastated by the massive earthquake, and all the small ones that have followed, in Haiti.”

A global humanitarian nonprofit, CARE International is dedicated to fighting issues surrounding poverty.

“CARE came to our attention because they are an amazing international group based right here in Atlanta and has been helping impoverished nations and people for years,” Sias said. “They’ve been there for Haitians since the earthquake hit, and we want to support them however we can.”

Aqiyl Thomas will DJ, and there will be an auction of arts and services at the event, including original art by the infamous Gutterpop and photography services from XXX. Pine Magazine, See Through Souls, Picaflor Studio, Containment Theory Records and the Moon and Pluto are among the many sponsors of this worthy event.

“We’re hoping that everyone can make it out and bring a friend ’cause these folks need our help,” said Believe, a member of the Grand Prize Winners from Last Year and a co-organizer of the event. “Help us make this an amazing event.”

Advance tickets are on sale now for $5, and will be $7 the day of show. Go to www.badearl.com to learn more about the show, and learn more about CARE at care.org.

Special Guests:

July 24 – Jeffrey Butzer

“With a solid following continuing to build in Europe, Asia and the US, Jeffrey Butzer is easily one of Atlanta’s new prized musicians with music that is reminiscent of Gainsbourg’s darker days in France, of the thematic explorations of Galt McDermont, and of songs that create the setting of late nights that are experienced but experimentative, the sort of nights we all wished we had more often.” -Pine Magazine

Special Guests:

Sept 25 – It’s Elephants, The Holland Dutch
