This looks like a rather strong underground bill for this
Saturday night here in Atlanta. Flap is an old combo
dating back to the mid 90s. They were on the same
local label as Bob, Toenut, early Harvey Milk, and Clobber
(Half Baked Records). In a nutshell the acoustic guitarists
play off of each other doing a fusion meets John Fahey
kinda thang. I saw em back in the day and always thought
them excellant.
Strapping Fieldhands are from Louisville (I think?) and they are
an old Terrrascope/Alt rock combo whose sound crosses
genres. The one disc (on Shangri-la records) I have is a bit
hard to pin down for me - this is why I really want to see
this group live to get the real audible picture.
Siltbreeze also gives these folks the thumbs up.

creative loafing article seems to be wrongo.
Enjoy yourself
