Weekend Junkies

I believe the music industry is completely flooded with bands that fit a niche, but I have something new for you. "Weekend Junkies" is an up and coming band based out of Atlanta that is sure to leave you in awe. The five piece bluesy extravaganza is composed of Will Strange (rhythm guitar/vocals), Nick Bach (lead/mandolin/piano/synth), Dougy "Fresh" (drums), Kevin Brittele (bass), and Michael Marcelo (guitar/harmonica/piano/synth). The "Junkies" have blended alternative, blues, and rock all into one melting pot to come out with there own original style of music. I know what you are saying, "What is so original about another bluesy rock band?", well this is whats so original about it, they take the heart of blues, the power of rock, the "sweet" of indie, and the rebellion of alternative and cram it all into their originals like "Buster the Bullfrog" and "Place we can Go". They also put their spin on classic covers like "Come Together" (The Beatles), "Can't Always Get What you Want" (Rolling Stones), and "Creep" (Radiohead). Not only do they give justice to these great songs but they put a certain flare on them that will make you think, "Why didn't they do that when they wrote the song?" For all those people who like to pride themselves on seeing new music first, do not miss the opportunity to see Weekend Junkies at their first music festival called ABACHALIPSE! The Weekend Junkies are putting it together themselves and plan to have several local bands joining them including Smoking Gun. The festival is on July 24th at 3159 Batesville RD, Woodstock, GA 30188. Cover is $10 and for the 21 and up crowd there will be beverages available for purchase.
