Elvis Is Dead has left the building
For the first time since 2002, mid-August will pass without an Elvis Is Dead party. Sam, the co-founder, and I always talked about ending it after five or so years and so we have.
That's the bad news.
The good news is that it isn't gone forever. Let's just call it an extended hiatus. It might be back next year, or it might be back the year after or it might be back for the 10th anniversary of the first. We'll just have to wait and see.
What started as a small party of about 20 people ended up seeing hundreds each year. It was successful beyond our expectations. Elvis Is Dead t-shirts even became part of a national traveling t-shirt exposition.
To everyone who made a point to rock E.D. shirts and/or came out to parties, a big thank you!

E.D.30
E.D.30 - Elvis Is Dead
Elvis Is Dead! The time is here again! The sixth annual Elvis Is Dead party will hit there year on August 17 at Park Grounds in Atlanta. See the flyer below for more information. Come by at 9PM go hit DSC or Lenny's afterward.
There's a nice article (the cover!) on our good friend Preston Craig in this week's Creative Loafing. I've known Preston for about five years now, and went from a patron of the original *KISS* and DSC to having the pleasure of DJ'ing with him for a couple of years at DSC. He's a good guy and a good friend and I'm proud of the success DSC has had.
Be there this week after Elvis is Dead.
Bands you should check out (new or old):
Winterkids
80's Babies
The Rentals
If you enjoy "traditional" country music check out Take Country Back. An excellent read with lots of great videos. Here's how I define traditional country: country music radio wouldn't play it. If you are looking for an artist to research in the genre, check out Billy Joe Shaver. He wrote outlaw hits in the '70's and has been making amazing music since. He did some work with his son in the '90's as the group Shaver. Enjoy.
