Bubbapalooza 13
May 2004
| Start | More Bubbapalooza! | Yet more Bubbapalooza! | Still more Bubbapalooza! | Even more Bubbapalooza! | And more Bubbapalooza! | One more! |
| Things kicked off with The Downer Brothers, Star Bar owner
Jim and regular sound man Joel doing covers of Johnny Cash, Tom Waits and
more. Good stuff done with a dark edge. Joel is also in the slightly more upbeat Bully and performs solo as A Night with Duwayne on occasion. See http://www.bullyrock.com/ for more. Jim is also in Greasepaint, when it exists, and other efforts at random. Not a lot of folks were willing to show up at 8 PM to catch this, but it's their loss. |

Next up, Sonoramic Commando, rootsy rockabilly/country stuff that's highly recommended. They have one CD out and are headed back to the studio this summer for a sophomore effort. |
| Swap out a couple Commandos and you get The Bluejays, soft,
smooth stuff with a rootsy, rockabilly sound and country lyrics.
One thing you might notice is the number of people in multiple bands. It's a somewhat incestuous community in Atlanta - a lot of people support each other, one way or another. Several people played two or three or more times over the weekend. |

Cletis and his City Cousins do mostly covers of mostly country, mostly with crowd-pleasing results. |
 |
It's pretty much whatever the hell Clete likes. |
 |
And he makes it clear he likes it. |
