THURSDAY MARCH 31:
ROCK PAPER ROCK presents: SEBADOH / RICHARD BUCKNER
TICKETS ON SALE NOW. As much a collective of musicians as a band, Sebadoh was the quintessential lo-fi band of the '90s. Formed by singer/songwriter Lou Barlow while he was the bassist for Dinosaur Jr. in the late '80s, Sebadoh's music was a virtual catalog of '80s alternative rock and '90s indie rock. Upon parting ways with Dinosaur Jr. in 1989, Barlow turned his attention toward Sebadoh, a home-recording project that he and drummer/songwriter Eric Gaffney began in 1987. Eventually adding drummer/songwriter Jason Loewenstein, the trio became an indie rock sensation. Often, Sebadoh sounded schizophrenic, flipping between Barlow's sensitive folk-rock and Gaffney's noise experiments without warning. This very diversity became the band's calling card, and by 1992 the band had earned a devoted following. Sebadoh became one of the largest touchstones of '90s indie rock. Doors at 8pm / Show at 9pm 18 and up Tickets are $15 advance

FRIDAY APRIL 1:
Modern Skirts/ How I Became the Bomb / Real Frogs
Athens, Georgia’s Modern Skirts will once again be gracing the Bottletree stage with their wonderfully beautiful and brutal approach to alt-rock. Once cited as Mike Mills’ (REM) favorite Athens band, the Modern Skirts work diligently to create a stage presence that embraces their studio recordings, while also incorporating a unique energy that is oddly infectious. How I Became the Bomb will be joining the Skirts with their otherworldly pop tunes. Also considered an offbeat and energetic live act, HIBTB will undoubtedly grab your attention and quickly infiltrate your brain. $7 ADV/ $9 DAY OF

SATURDAY APRIL 2:
THE GREAT BOOK OF JOHN / K. TAYLOR & THE TWERPS / PRESTON LOVINGGOOD
Taking the name from an old Hank Williams song (Angel of Death) it would seem clear the direction that a band called The Great Book of John would take, but things are not always what they seem. The music and lyrics of The Great Book of John are based around the songwriting of Taylor Shaw (also known for playing guitar and making noise for Wild Sweet Orange). While it is an outlet for Taylor's songs, The Great Book of John is far from a singer-songwriter solo project, bringing in the talent of friends and bandmates, Bekah Fox on vocals, Alex Mitchell on upright bass, and Chip Kilpatrick (also from Wild Sweet Orange) on drums. This music posesses a dark but hopeful spirit with folk undertones, but delivers creativity and style that doesn't leave you there. The band, though relatively young, has gathered a diverse and indeed reverential following throughout Alabama and beyond. Doors at 8pm / Show starts at 9 18 and up (valid ID required for entry) Tickets are $8

TUESDAY APRIL 5:
BOAT SHOW presents: WORLD/INFERNO FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY / MISS INFORMATION AGE
On their new release “The Anarchy and The Ecstasy” Inferno hope to make you dance, laugh and cry - often in the same song. With their full horn section, baby grand piano, punk guitar, 5 string bass and dueling male and female vocals, this freedom fighting, punk-as-world-music cult channels Phillip K. Dick, Kurt Weill and Jonathan Richman on their 13th release. Pushing boundaries, grudges, genres, heartstrings and parole conditions from the cow-punk thump of track "Disarming Smile" to the heartbreaking samba of "13 Years Without Peter King”, "The Anarchy and The Ecstasy" showcases World/Inferno Friendship Society's refined songwriting style and virtuosic playing. Never fear though, the band hasn't lost the attitude you've come to expect in songs like "I Am Sick of People Being Sick of My Shit". Doors at 8p / Show at 9p / Ages 18+ / Tickets are $10 advance, $12 day of show
