Words by Gordon Lamb and photographs by Mike WhiteFor as much as Düsseldorf’s Kraftwerk has been casually designated as “futuristic” over the past five decades or so, there’s precious little stance-taking, forward-looking statements, or predictions in the group’s catalog, and the overwhelming bulk of Kraftwerk’s music is simply observant. So much of its observance is of the commonplace (highways, telephones, bicycles) that even the mere vocalization of these can seem like a celebration of them.

Nottingham Arts Youth Theatre present... School of Rock We Shall Teach Rock ‘n’ Roll To The World!Based on the hit film, this hilarious new musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band.

Words by Gordon Lamb and photographs by Mike White Even though Los Angeles-via-Bakersfield, CA’s Korn has been through Georgia multiple times over the past 30 years, including one notable stop in Athens back in 1997, the only other time I’d seen them before this night was at the Phillips Arena on Apr. 13, 2000.

Words by Gordon Lamb and photos by Mike White I never intended to go this long without seeing Judas Priest. And by “this long” I mean since the first time I ever heard them many, many years ago. It just never worked out. But on Saturday, May 11 at the Ameris Bank Amphitheatre, it worked out beautifully. Swedish metallers Sabaton were pretty much all set up as the crowd filtered into the amphitheater.
