Andy Zipf @ 1*FIVE*0

Andy Zipf

I saw that Andy Zipf was coming to Atlanta to play a show. He had listed Atlanta as a tour stop at one time last year but removed it. And he had not been in the area to perform since I last saw him back in Feb ‘07 at the Devil Stole the Beat show. I have several of his songs that I had purchased off of his Myspace page, but there were some MP3’s he had listed on his DiscRevolt page that I wanted to get. The only way to download those songs was to purchase one of his DiscRevolt cards to get an account number and download the songs. I had not heard of 1*FIVE*0 and wasn’t quite sure how the show would be. So after work, I headed over to the location. 1*FIVE*0 is a clothes boutique located in the newly refurb’d westside of Atlanta. One of the owners of the shop is Leslie Fram, former Music Director/DJ at 99x. They set up a stage in the front window of the shop and have music shows. Proceeds from the show go to a local animal shelter. Andy was the 2nd act to go on. Considering the venue and crowd, Andy put on a phenomenal performance. The crowd didn’t get into his songs as much as they had at Smith’s Olde Bar. But that might have been because they were standing around clothes racks and display cases. After Andy’s performance, I was able to catch him and purchase the DiscRevolt cards. I purchased some things from the store (some folk art & other neat sundries they sold) I had to rush out because I wanted to get across town to see Brandi Shearer perform at Eddie’s Attic.

“the devil stole the beat”

Came across a posting on the internet for a artist showcase at Smiths Olde Bar put on by ASCAP and BMI. The event was titled, “the devil stole the beat”. So I bought a ticket online and went last night.

Included with the ticket I bought online, was a card provided by discrevolt containing an account number so that I could download songs of the artists performing.

Another cool thing was that I could check out the performers Myspace page before going to the concert and get an idea of their songs.

I really enjoyed the performances by Andy Zipf, The Less , Sonia Leigh and Audrey Spillman.
