As reported earlier, this weekend is the annual Team Clermont summer camp in Athens, and among those scheduled to perform: Tiny Sticks and Hi Hi Hi, both cover bands featuring of Montreal’s B.P. Helium. (The former covers ESG, the latter Paul McCartney & Wings.) B.P. will be joined by Jason NeSmith of Casper & the Cookies, Peter Erchick (Pipes You See, Pipes You Don’t), Madeline, Aaron Wegelin (formerly of Elf Power), and much of Dark Meat. F*ck This Band (covering Mclusky) and Nic Fit (covering Sonic Youth) will also be performing. It’s a campfire singalong that starts at 9pm this Saturday night at the 40 Watt. If I were there, I’d request “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey.”
And speaking of the 40 Watt, Gnarls Barkley will be playing Tuesday August 12th, with Elf Power opening. It’s considered a kick-off to the 2008 Athens PopFest, although you will have to buy your tickets separately (at School Kids Records 706.353.1666).
