OM(usic)FG - Sleeper Agent SOLD OUT in Atlanta!
Oh, this post has been a long time coming! Last year I was at Smith's Olde Bar in Atlanta to see the band Company of Thieves play. My friend really wanted to see them. While we were waiting for them to come on, another band was playing that completely BLEW ME AWAY! Their name is Sleeper Agent and I couldn't have been more excited to hear their refreshing music. Alex, the grrrl lead singer, reminded me of a mixture of Brody Dale from the Distillers and well..something just damn awesome. I talked with her after the show and she was just so cool and full of good energy. The whole band is just pure talent. The drummer was crazy good. I was just so happy to see them because it's been a long time since I've heard a band that I could just fall in love with after the first song.
Since that performance at Smith's Olde Bar, I have been pumped to see Sleeper Agent making waves in the music biz. They are on the line up for both Coachella & Hang Out Fest this year which is huge! Also, their song 'Get Daddy' is in the new Taco Bell commercial. I can't wait to see where they go next. Currently, they are touring and have a date in Atlanta at Center Stage on March 9th with the band FUN! ((Sorry ATL for the late notice on this one, but it is sadly for us....sold out!)) Anyways, have no fear, I will be alerting you the next time they are in town. In the meantime, check them out!

OMFG - RIP Whitney Houston
It was just reported that Whitney Houston passed away this afternoon at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The details are minimal as of now, but we are staying tuned to TMZ.com to find out as much info as we can. Here is the exact link to the story.
We had actually run into Whitney Houston at a local Publix supermarket in Alpharetta a year or so ago. She wasn't looking too good then, but at the time in the press there was very little going on about her health or drug/past-drug habits. Our thoughts go out to her family and friends and especially to her daughter with whom she was very close with.
Please feel free to comment on this post. Let us know your favorite song by her, etc....
And of course:

That’s Right, Woodchuck-Chuckers It’s GROUNDHOG DAY!
German tradition holds that if a hibernating animal sees its shadow on Feb. 2 — the Christian holiday of Candlemas — winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow is seen, legend says spring will come early.
