SweetWater Brewing Company, Atlanta’s craft beer trailblazer and the 10th largest craft brewer in the U.S., announces details for this year’s SweetWater 420 Fest, which will take place on April 22-23 at SweetWater’s Atlanta brewery. The 17th annual festival will be headlined by Shakey Graves, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Ghostland Observatory, Rome & Duddy, and Neal Francis. Weekend and single-day tickets will go on sale February 8 at 12pm EST at www.sweetwater420fest.com.

Ghostland Observatory’s entire approach to music – sonically, aesthetically, conceptually – is essentially a melding of the two distinctly different personalities of its two members, Thomas Ross Turner and Aaron Behrens. Whereas Turner, the producer/drummer/keyboardist of the duo, finds solace in the minimal, bleak cable-patch squawks of Karlheinz Stockhausen and the analog-disco-thump of Giorgio Moroder, Behrens’ interests lie more along the lines of psychedelia, rock and various country and blues artists.

LIFT Festival, the two-day elevated music experience, has confirmed the first round of performers for LIFT Fest at Whaleback Mountain in the heart of New Hampshire’s Ski Country, March 16-17, 2012. Featuring slope-side, outdoor music, the inaugural LIFT Festival offers patrons the unique opportunity to enjoy first-class live music in a picturesque setting - hand in hand with their favorite winter sports.

I want to start by saying that this band is a must see adventure. Make no mistake about it; this is one of the unique and fun acts that I've seen since Hurra Torpedo last summer.
