Athens, GA: Inside Out

Led by the success of the B-52's and R.E.M., Athens, Georgia was the most happening music scene in the country by the mid 80's/ Following several different bands from different genres, this film paints Athens as a magical artistic environment where bands are not in competition, but co-exist in harmony. Live performances of R.E.M.'s "Swan Swan H" and "Dream (All I Have To Do)" at the Lucy Cobb Institute chapel are included. Also featured are performances and interviews frm the B-52's, Pylon, B-B-Que Killers, Time Toy, Jim Herbert, Flat Duo Jets, Love Tractor, Kilkenny Cats, Squalls, and more.

Skid Roper here. The First time Mojo Nixon and I stopped to eat at Walters Bbq in Athens, Walter was boasting of the famous bands that had eaten there. My favorite one he mentioned was the Asshole Surfers. That still cracks me up.
