All Get Out-Lucky Bastard from Scene SC on Vimeo.  (Yes, we know “decides” is spelled wrong.)

The folks over at Metromix Atlanta had a bunch of good things to say about All Get Out’s performance in Atlanta last week.  I had the opportunity to go to this show and meet some talented people involved in the Atlanta music scene.  Check out Marigolds and Monsters and Fun With Robots.

All Get Out has been touring nonstop since last fall and sharing the bill with Atlanta artists Dead Confederate and Manchester Orchestra, which has helped make them local favorites. On March 11, they stopped by the Drunken Unicorn on their current tour with Black Gold and Lydia, but it was no surprise that most of the crowd was there for All Get Out.

Being the opening band can be a hard role to play, considering that crowd attendance is typically low as people trickle in later for the headliner. At the Drunken Unicorn, however, that was not the case. Thirty minutes after doors opened, the club filled with fans there to see All Get Out. When the band exited the stage, so did a good percentage of the crowd.

Although nonstop touring is exhausting, All Get Out didn’t lack any energy while they were in Atlanta. Their set was tighter than ever and lead singer Nathan Hussey’s voice never faltered. He even managed to stay on key for his guttural yell at the end of “Don’t Let Me Go,” which opened with a softer intro that silenced the crowd and ended with a dynamic jam from the band.

One of the catchiest tracks was “Water and God,” a song from All Get Out’s self-titled EP that not only amped up the crowd even more but also had many fans singing along and taking cell phone photos. The increased popularity of this hardworking group is well deserved. Local fans are not the ones taking notice. Former tourmates Andy Hull and Chris Freeman from Manchester Orchestra were also in the crowd. Freeman even jumped onstage to contribute to the harmony on “Come My Way.”

As All Get Out continues at their breakneck speed, gaining fans and respect within the music community, there is no telling where they will be playing next or if there will even be any tickets available–especially when they come to Atlanta again.
