Pretzel Logic - newcomers to the atlanta

Byron House is not a dude from nashville, although im sure they would
sometimes like to converge into one. Carlos is a guy behind this 3
piece from florida's nuts. been doing this thing for a good bit, when
i last saw them jamming on concrete slabs of Tampa it kinda ruled.

Divided Like A Saints is ex-atl now athens song writing show slamming
10 dancer dancing freakout with a chorus to boot, everytime witnessed
is heartfelt and pogo pounding.

Haves + Thirds is Todd of YuKhonic (Tampa) and Cephias Treat label
(Tampa2) and these are the reasons I am personally honored.

Pretzel Logic is 2 dudes from SC who moved here not long ago so its
like a breath of fresh air. rad showing at the blak casl in the fall!!!

Small Pox is a band i know little about but if you listen to the
myspace page you might be like, whoa, wow, thats pretty gritty and low
down and damn i guess i better get the fuck over to eyedrum now....

below you will find a PRESSS RELEASE:


Jonathan Vance Turns Divided Like a Saint's into UGA Degree

Athens, GA--Jonathan Vance of Athens band Divided Like a Saint's
announced this week that he plans to major in his band at the
University of Georgia. "Divided Like a Saint's is already what I work
on the hardest, so I figured out how to make it apply toward a
diploma." Vance is currently receiving university credit for Touring
and Mass Media, both classes that were not previously offered at UGA.
For his senior thesis, Vance is planning a DLAS performance event at
the Orange Twin nature preserve in Athens on May 2, 2009.
"Touring class literally entails touring with Divided Like a Saint's,"
says Vance. Former Cigar Store Indians bassist/booking agent and
Program Coordinator at UGA's Music Business program Keith Perissi is
acting as mentor to Vance for the class, along with electronic music
professor Dr. Leonard Ball.
Divided Like a Saint's growing tour schedule for 2009 extends into
March at the present, putting the group in Austin, Texas for South by
Southwest. The current musical lineup includes Jonathan Vance on bass
and vocals, guitarist Timothy Vance (Oh No They Didn't), classical
percussionist Thomas Broadie (Rat Babies), sound artist Rob Peterson
(Dan Hole Pond), and guitarist Katy Wachol (Owl Hooves). The group's
January 3 Eyedrum performance in Atlanta will include dancers from
both Athens and Atlanta: Allison Barfield, Lydia Clark, Meghan
Thurman, Sarah Blackman, Terri Riccioti, Kelsey Brooks, Cherrise
Wakeham, and Maryn Vance. Also, Maryn plans to recruit dancers from
some of the towns where they perform while on tour this year.
Visually, the show features the panels of a disassembled wire mesh
satellite dish 10 feet in diameter worn like backpacks, plus
multicolored skis, wigs, and braids.
Vance is also researching mass media for university degree credit.
This actual press release and any resulting press are part of that
research.
According to Perissi, if Vance completes these courses successfully,
he may help pave the way for UGA's Music Business program to teach
these subjects in regularly offered classes in the future. "If major
universities legitimize this genre of art by offering degrees in it,
they may elevate the status of the genre," says Vance. The actual
degree he is pursuing is in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis
in Live Art Production. He plans to graduate in May 2009.
Divided Like a Saint's is currently working with budding Athens
label/collective Party Party Partners (dot com), an independent
operation headed by Mercer West (Mouser, Quiet Hooves). With the
label's help, Vance has produced three albums this year, including 30
Days of Vance, July 2008, and the forthcoming January release Bazooka
Trilogy, which features a 1977 ARP 2600 analog synthesizer and 1-inch
analog tape.
Divided Like a Saint's perform at Eyedrum at 10pm January 3, 2009 with
Byron House (FL), Small Pox (Charleston, SC), Haves + Thirds (Tampa,
FL), and Pretzel Logic (Atlanta, GA).
