Greg Sage-Straight Ahead
Greg Sage was the lead singer/guitarist for seminal punk band the Wipers. In 1985, he put out this, "Straight Ahead," his first solo album. Rather more gloomy and down-beat than his main band, the songs are often gorgeous displays of post-punk moodiness married to a singer/songwriter sensibility. For a stylistic reference point, think Mekons.

Welcome & Locals
Welcome, welcome. And so it begins. I'd like to start out with a couple of local bands I'd like to promote a little bit, Entertainment and The Feeding Fingers.
Entertainment are a very interesting band with a sound reminiscent of Bauhaus. Located in Athens, GA, the band have been a part of Drop Dead Fest and have put out a split with A Spectre Is Haunting Europe. Check them out on the web here.
Entertainment-"Patroness"
The Feeding Fingers are a three-piece from Austell, GA, featuring former Tears For The Dying bassist Todd Caras and multi-media artist Justin Curfman on guitar and vocals. Musically, they remind of early Cure, Curfman's singing and the prominent bass especially. Check them out on myspace right here.
The Feeding Fingers-"Fireflies Make Us Sick"
You can snag those tracks right here.
-Skulls And Kisses, Dion Von.
