Kristen's Concert Picks: May's tunes will keep you cool

And then it was May. If you can spare a moment between studying for finals, finishing (and starting) projects, and making plans with pals, you'll definitely want to check out these tunes!

Sat, May 1: Doctor Squid @ 10:30 PM @ Rye Bar
Don't miss the Squid's last show for a while! There is fun to be had, and these guys never fail to bring it!

Sat, May 1: Krush Girls @ 10 PM @ 40 Watt Club
And they're back for another visit! It seems Athens' favorite DJs Krush Girls are now go-to guys for a holiday celebration. Make the most of the end of the year, and party it up Krush Girls style!

Fri, May 7: Venice is Sinking & Hope for Agoldensumer @ 9 PM @ 40 Watt Club
Two bands with beautiful tunes playing together? Just plain awesome. Feast your ears on their soft but powerful sounds!

Fri, May 7: Death on Two Wheels @ 9 PM @ Melting Point
I saw this Atlanta band at a Caledonia show once, and they totally rocked it. Now that they're taking over the Melting Point, I'm sure they're going to do it again!

Sat, May 8: Brave New Citizen @ 10 PM @ Caledonia Lounge
Last Athfest, this band totally caught me by surprise... Trust me, they are worth your time!

Thu, May 13: Chris McKay and the Critical Darlings @ 9 PM @ Melting Point
Now that they've returned, they can't be stopped! Finals are over, so if you're still in Athens, you know you want to be at the Melting Point. Get the classic rock you crave right here!

Thu, May 27: Love Tractor & Romanenko @10 PM @ Caledonia Lounge
Love Tractor, one of the original bands of the Athens music scene, are sure to drive the crowd wild while newer face, Romanenko, will give you a serving of the rock of today!

What a month! And, of course, as more amazing shows pop up, they'll appear for you right here on the schedule. Got a show not listed here that you're dying to experience surrounded by a crowd of music-lovers? Comment below, and let us know the details so we can experience it too! As always, have an incredible May, you guys. Oh, and good luck with finals too, my fellow students!
