Atlanta, Ga., May 19, 2009 – Today, festival organizers announced the 5th Annual Other Sound Music Festival will take place in Little Five Points, September 19th, 2009, at Criminal Records and the Star Bar.

A stellar lineup is already confirmed that includes: The Selmanaires, Judi Chicago, Jeffery Butzer and Today the Moon Tomorrow the Sun, all scheduled to play in one day!

“We decided on the one day format as an experiment in logistics,” said Eric Holder of Industrial Strength Promotions, “we all live close to Little Five, and have had good experiences with the accessibility of both the Star Bar and Criminal Records’ new location that doubles as a venue; together they are the perfect storm for the Other Sound’s new format”

2009 Other Sound festival organizers are: Eric Holder, for Industrial Strength Promotions; Justin Sias, for Pine Magazine; and Kat Colohan, for Containment Theory Records.

The Other Sound Music Festival is an annual celebration of Atlanta’s thriving music scene. Since 2004, The Other Sound has worked to promote and extend the conversation about Atlanta’s Music scene by recognizing musical acts who are leading the way through their performances, recordings and other distinguishing factors.

Atlanta’s alternative music scene is one of the most exciting atmospheres in the U.S.A. with Deerhunter (Kranky/4AD), Black Lips (Vice) and Snowden (Jetset) along with hugely notable acts including Manchester Orchestra, The Coathangers and Gringo Star who represent the already-crashing next wave of Atlanta’s alternative music scene.
