Dead Confederate (tonight), updated Black Lips tour dates

Dead ConfederateLike Deerhunter & Black Lips, Dead Confederate are from Atlanta, GA, and are playing a show in Athens, Georgia show on December 5th. Unlike Deerhunter & Black Lips, Dead Confederate's music didn't immediately do anything for me. Their name does keep coming up though - KEXP likes them, and they're signed to Razor & Tie. New Yorkers can give them a try tonight @ Mercury Lounge (Nov 28, 2007). The Head Set, Drug Rug, Falcon and Five Times August are also on the bill.

I previously reported that Black Lips are touring in 2008 - two NYC shows included. Since then, even more (non-NYC) shows were announced. All tour dates below....

Hadn't heard Dead Confederate before seeing them open for Dinosaur Jr. last night in DC. Thought they were fantastic.

i think they are actually based in athens now. i know the band sort of commuted between the two cities. anyways, i've been a fan for a couple years-- since they were called "redbelly band." thank god for the name change! amazing live band, though. for fans of big, moody classic rock sound.... like a minor-chord heavy zeppelin with cobain on vocals. both beautiful and intense.

Dead Confederate played in Augusta, GA this past weekend. 1st time I heard them live and they were pretty awesome. I took photos of the live event in the smoke machine-filled room. Look at them.
