WEST END MOTEL AND FIEND WITHOUT A FACE TONIGHT

If you generally like people who hail from Atlanta, pleasant October weather, bands that sound like a less sad Tom Waits, gingers, and jovial kinship between grown men, then you should head to Union Pool tonight around nine. Two excellent Atlanta bands will be playing: West End Motel and Fiend Without A Face. West End Motel started as a side project between Atlanta buds Tom Cheshire (All Night Drug Prowling Wolves, the Rent Boys) and Brent Hinds (Mastodon), but eventually turned into a full-fledged band backed up by a bunch of older scruffy dudes and weirdly finished off with a super-smiley 20-year-old kid who plays the accordion. Fiend Without A Face has the sort of name that you want in a band playing right before Halloween, and Brent, who plays in both bands, will probably be donning a white, grimy "Witch & Famous" glittery sweatshirt from Walmart, paired with a Don King wig blanketed by a gross hairnet. He's been wearing it all weekend and it's unlikely that shit is coming off anytime soon. ELLIS JONES
