Last Saturday's London invasion of East Atlanta took the monthly Down&Durty crowd out for a underground spin, as BBC Radio 1's Dj Annie Mac brought her eclectic mix of dubstep, dnb, hip-hop, disco and electro from overseas to the floors of Graveyard Tavern. Once again, Cobra Corps joined forces with the Overthrow to create a perfect night of turmoil, debauchery and rage - all in the name of the Queen.
Roulette turned it up downtown at the W Hotel this month with a gracious giveaway of White Light offerings; from summer tank tops and free mixtapes to Jose Cuervo Platino specials all night long, what more could you ask for?
Whitelight and Sorry Darlin' present Girls Room with DJ Smiles at Opera on 07.30.10.
Take the time to wander down Peachtree and treat yourself to the top tier in hair artistry at James Madison salon. Named “Best of the South” by Harpers Bazaar and “Best Color Salon” by Elle Magazine, as well as the official hair salon of Cirque de Soleil(!!), James Madison displays true innovative style: “The color of fashion – multidimensional or monochromatic – flows from this team’s technical brilliance and imaginative designs.”
And, if you were lucky enough to stop by last Saturday for the 50th birthday of the face behind the eponymous salon, James Madison pulled out all the high cards, including a home-cooked buffet bar, sangria and pear mixers, and a mammoth, all-you-can-eat sushi platter. Not to mention the additional appearance of Oh Snap Kid and one of his infamous photobooths (and an intern who quickly took that platter down).
Basically, we leave you with this: “Do not expect just another salon, expect an experience.”
The birthday celebration of Cobra Corps honcho C Will forced the whole of Atlanta into momentary blackout. OSK captures only the latest edition in this Cobra's long line of forgotten nights.
Last week's hump day called for a special mix of the old and the new, with stops to see good friend Justin Bright spinning El Bar's monthly Zoo Atlanta event and MJQ's notorious Wednesday night bash, still the cornerstone of Atlanta's indie scene after all these years.
