The latter had many choices, as usual in Atlanta, but I opted for the closest to home, Boggs Social and Supply for Fuzzstock 4, a mini-festival of garage rock and a handful of crafty and vintage vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn\u2019t intend to review the affair, so my photos are limited. Also, I\u2019m a bit rusty in the rock and roll photo department. I\u2019ve reviewed a handful of shows in the last decade (covid, getting old, been there done that, and people live broadcast to social media so it seems pointless) but I wanted to remember these bands and remind myself to get some merch, so here we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mammabear was on stage shortly after I arrived, determined to shake up the handful of people there relatively early. I was reminded of the best parts of Weezer and The Strokes. Punchy, of course a bit fuzzy, energetic yet tight \u2013 exactly what I wanted.\u00a0 They\u2019re taking off to the UK in October so if you\u2019re in the neighborhood definitely catch them, and they have a ton of recordings on bandcamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.degeneratepress.com\/vault\/2023\/fuzzstock\/mammabear-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.degeneratepress.com\/vault\/2023\/fuzzstock\/mammabear-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next up, Rae and the Ragdolls. I didn\u2019t get a photo because they weren\u2019t my cup of peppermint tea. The kids were dressed to the nines in their (great?) grandparents\u2019 hippie fashion and had some nice harmonic guitar work, but they didn&#8217;t grab me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I felt like The Pinx have morphed a bit since last I saw. Previously, they leaned a <em>bit <\/em>more Southern Rock, a la Black Crowes, but more complexity has crept in, sounding a bit like BOC. Or maybe I&#8217;m just noticing. Regardless, they looked like they were having a ball doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.degeneratepress.com\/vault\/2023\/fuzzstock\/pinx-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.degeneratepress.com\/vault\/2023\/fuzzstock\/pinx-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.degeneratepress.com\/vault\/2023\/fuzzstock\/pinx-3.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.degeneratepress.com\/vault\/2023\/fuzzstock\/pinx-4.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The festival&#8217;s organizer (sorry, didn\u2019t jot down a name or talk to the guy) was in a few acts that evening, including The Buzzards of Fuzz. They kicked off with a tune very reminiscent of Pink Floyd\u2019s <em>One of These Days<\/em> off <em>Meddle<\/em> \u2013 driving, a bit off kilter, jammy but not noodly. Shades of Fugazi and Man\u2026 or Astroman? My only complaint is they only have one full-length, a couple of EPs and a few single tracks, or at least that&#8217;s all they list on bandcamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.degeneratepress.com\/vault\/2023\/fuzzstock\/buzzards-of-fuzz-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.degeneratepress.com\/vault\/2023\/fuzzstock\/buzzards-of-fuzz-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.degeneratepress.com\/vault\/2023\/fuzzstock\/buzzards-of-fuzz-3.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Destroyers of Light, out of Texas, were last on the bill but I lacked the gusto to linger. I have to wonder how many people got to see them, as the festival was not as well attended as it should\u2019ve been. There was a lot of rawk for the buck. Boggs has great sound (particularly since the expansion), interesting food offerings, and a fantastic patio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get out there, people!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After 13 weekends in a row camping this summer, I wanted to do something only civilization could offer \u2013 a movie, a nice restaurant, a museum, and\/or live music.
