Now, for those of you wanting more info on how these bands all tie together, read on….

Below you’ll find the first phase of my Atlanta music “genome.” Under each band name I have listed every person that I know to have been in that band at various times, but I know I may have left some people out or made some errors. That’s where I need all you fellow local music old-timers to step in and help me fill in the gaps. If yo have info to add, please shoot me a message! Bear in mind that there are many other connected bands that are not included here (such as American Dream for example), but they will be added as they are featured in future episodes!

Our writer Michael J. Gerber came by to tell us about his SXSW expirience. We play some of the songs from the Modern Skirts live session, and we had Tiny Mix Tapes writer Mario Speedwagon on the show to discuss some of her favorite bands

Show playlist:
