The three short pieces that make up the Atlanta Ballet's New Choreographic Voices are abstract works without specific characters, settings or stories, but nonetheless there's about as much drama on stage as you'd ever want in an evening at the theater. The program, which ends the ballet's 2011-12 season, premiered last night and runs through the weekend at the Alliance.…

Back when Ice Cube was sick of seeing brothers "on the video trying to out-dance each other," Atlanta was dancing its ass off. Fact is the early rap that came out of this city was dance music, just like the Miami bass that migrated to Atlanta in the mid-’80s, forever infecting our sense of sound.…

Sonic Youth guitarist Lee Ranaldo played the opening set for M. Ward and a well-behaved audience at the Buckhead Theatre on May 17. Ranaldo’s band, which included Alan Licht (guitar), Irwin Menken (bass), and Sonic Youth cohort Steve Shelley (drums), leaned into a set that was mostly made up of songs from Ranaldo's latest solo album, Between the Times & the Tides (Matador Records), but there were a few well-calibrated covers mixed in as well: A bombastic run through the Talking Heads’ “Thank You for Sending Me an Angel” upped the energy all around, and they closed out the set with a spacious rendition of Sonic Youth’s “Genetic” from the "My So-Called Life" soundtrack — or as the more sophisticated fans like to say, it’s a B-side from their 1992 single, “100%.”
