Chunklet Industries founder Henry Owings is celebrating his 50th birthday with a series of cool shows — a mini festival if you will — in his home state of Georgia, featuring Come, Elf Power, a reunited Velvet Monkeys, Man or Astroman?, The Gotobeds, Magnapop, The Rock*A*Teens, Honey Radar, Tar, the Pylon Reenactment Society, Stroke Band and more. The shows happen November 28 in Athens, GA at The 40 Watt and Caledonia, November 30 and December 1 in Atlanta at The Earl and 529, and December 2 in Roswell at Whirlyball. Lineups and posters are below.

For the occasion, Chunklet Industries will also be releasing two split 7″ singles: one featuring The Gotobeds (delivering the Fall-esque “No Present”) and Honey Radar (who fit two songs in, including the very good garage-psych number “English Costume [Rainbird]”), and the other with Don Fleming’s Velvet Monkeys (who contribute low-fi ripper “True Believers”) and Elf Power (who provide the lower-fi and possibly live “Honey”). Those will be for sale at the various shows but you can stream them all now — we’re premiering all four sides below.

The Gotobeds and Honey Radar are touring around these Chunklet shows, and Come are playing a few other shows too (including Brooklyn).
