Testing your Italian pronunciation skills with this one but tonight’s LITL featured the stylings of Nomen Novum with a little bit of everything throughout this 30+ minute set. Plus, he sticks around to talk about the influence behind the name as well as recently released project and upcoming shows. If you dig, be sure to check him out here. Enjoy!!

INTERVIEW

And yes you have to have the “!” when talking about the man known as Killick! who came through our Lobby to give listeners a 33-minute crash course of the experience better known as Appalachian Trance Metal. If you dig, be sure to check him out here as well as out and about around the Classic City and a city near you as he’ll be gearing up for a mini-trek later on in the Spring. Enjoy!!

Yes, they are named the same as the book, and yes they came through our lobby for a live performance plus interview that expanded more on the significance of the name as well as in-depth questions that you really should just hit play and hear for yourself. If you want more of A.T.L and their Mello-Yello type goodness, check them out here.

“Deal with it.”

Rounding out this week’s entry of live aural sustenance, we had the Ken Will Morton Band come through with some of that straight up blues-type goodness. They’ll actually be performing NEXT FRIDAY MARCH 2ND with The Fustics and Adams Family (not to be confused with Uncle Fester and all them) over at Little Kings.

First:
Grinnin Bear: The tandem of Chris, Jimmy, Taylor, Chrismon, & Hannah came through to the WU to kick it off on this two-for-one Live in the Lobby special. If ya’ like, which we know you will, they’re playing again March 6th (a.k.a. Hannah’s B-Day) at Nowhere Bar.

SHOW

But wait! There’s more:
Koko Beware: Not to be confused with the wrestler (who is just as awesome, but also was the influence behind their name) came through for Round 2. If you are totally feening for more, they’ll be playing a show on Feb 24th at Little Kings.

Another two-for-one special of live performances here at the WU. First things first, hailing from South Florida, you got the fellas of Heavy Pets coming through for some afternoon live aural goodness. They are performing tonight at Georgia Theatre along with Dank Sinatra & The Suex Effect. Can’t get enough of them, you can check them out here.

Elsewhere, we had one of the Classic City’s sweethearts in Modern Skirts swing by with a very laid back set along with a very in-depth interview talking about everything from former record labels to even hyphy that you just gotta hear for yourself. They will be performing on Saturday with Ruby Kendrick and T. Hardy Morris & the Outfit. Check their latest happenings here and in the meantime enjoy both live performances.

INTERVIEW

You may have seen him on the video (TRRUUUUEEE!!), you may have heard him on the radio (TRRUUUUEEE!!). But Kishi Bashi graced our airwaves right on time for Valentine’s Day with a live set that was all about love fused with violins, looping, and even beatboxing. He’ll actually be performing this coming Friday Feb. 17th along with his comrades, Athens favorite’s Of Montreal at Georgia Theatre and gearing up for his first official solo project dropping in April. If the patience is wearing thin and the anticipation is running at an all-time high, you can check him out at his official site and hit play over and over on the performance/interview to hold you over. Enjoy and Happy Valentine’s Day/Single Awareness Day everyone!!

INTERVIEW

SHOW

Jamband fans unite and bear witness to the first-ever live performance on Party at Your Momma’s House featuring Classic City’s-own Juice Box. They stopped by the WU on the Sunday night to give a bit of that jam-funk-type goodness live and direct on our airwaves for your enjoyment. If you’re feeling it, be sure to check them out here, and be sure to check PAYMH Sundays @ 9PM.

Two LITL performances in one day AND on a Friday? Yeah, it actually happened. Kicking it off with a group from St. Louis, MO though their name suggests otherwise, Kentucky Knife Fight. They came all the way from Gainesville, FL to come through to the WU and perform with another show to attend in Alabama that night and finishing up their trek in Nashville, TN the following night. Talk about dedicated road warriors. But if you’re diggin their performance/interview be sure to check them out here.

INTERVIEW

For round 2, we had Already Taken (not to be confused with that Trey Songz song) swing by with a live 30+ minute set. You may not be familiar with the group, but may be familiar with their parents (B-52s anyone?) But they are not looking to ride on the coattails of their parents and are well on their way of marking their own path here in the Classic City and beyond. Check out their site for more info about the band and to get your hands on their recently release EP.
