Decatur CD's Upcoming Show Guide - June

The last time the infamous NOBUNNY came to town was for the inaugural Atlanta Mess-Around in late 2008. One impressed onlooker described his set thusly: "...a much-needed half-hour shot in the arm of crunchy, lo-fi, one-to-three-minute blasts of fun. NOBUNNY worked the house like James Brown, drinking from one of his high heels, stripping off his t-shirt, slipping into headliner Gentleman Jesse's 'I Don't Wanna Know' mid-song and inspiring the crowd to sing along in gaping awe throughout. 'This'll all be over soon,' he said a few songs in, but no one in the room wanted his set to end." Meanwhile, The Spits are also playing, a group of fellas that Young Eliot regularly calls "the best band ever." And on top of that, two great local bands open the night. Needless to say, if you're into punk-rock spectacles, we'd suggest you get yourself to The EARL tonight.
