rockabilly – Rad/ATL

The great Brent Hinds—former Mastodon guitar player and mastermind behind such prolific acts as West End Motel (featuring the songwriting talents of Tom Cheshire of the Rent Boy, All Night Drug Prowling Wolves, and TCB), Fiend Without A Face, and Dirty B & the Boys—takes over the Garden Club at Wild Heaven for an evening of Southern fried surf punk, country, and monster movie rock ‘n’ roll. This show brings a veritable sampler of Hinds’ various projects from throughout the years together on one stage for a night of beauty and depravity that’s not for the faint of heart.

$20 (adv). $25 (day of). 7 p.m. (doors). 8 p.m. (showtime). The Garden Club at Wild Heaven West End, 1010 White St. SW.

MESSER CHUPS: Oleg “Gitaracula” Fomchenkov and Svetlana “Zombierella” Nagaeva.

On Thursday, January 18, Messer Chups come all the way from St. Petersburg Russia to mark their Atlanta debut appearance at the Star Bar. The group, centered around the creative nexus of guitar player Oleg “Gitaracula” Fomchenkov and bass player Svetlana “Zombierella” Nagaeva, conjure a sultry surf rock flow that’s steeped in equal parts cosmic radiation and classic monster movie ambiance.

Give a listen to their most recent full-length, Adventures of Zombierella and Guitaracula, out now via Missing Fink and Guiraracula Records.

Atlanta’s own surf-punk provocateurs El Capitan & The Reluctant Sadists get the party started. $15 (advance). $20 (at the door). 8 p.m. The Star Bar.
