XO make their Drunken Unicorn debut on Saturday, July 23rd

Tight Bros and Performer Magazine presents:



XO at the Drunken Unicorn on Saturday, July 23rd, 2011



"Jeff and Jake Turner, guitarists for kid-friendly pop punks Say Anything, have taken a decidedly more creative turn with their rekindled side-project, XO. Largely the product of brother Jeff's, "Helll," the first new demo to appear on their Bandcamp page, is a headlong trip into a morphine haze of post-punk dreariness and slurred guitar sounds. It's all set to a visual onslaught of videos, shadow and smoke that has inspired comparisons to Joy Division, Sigur R ós and My Bloody Valentine." — Chad Radford / Creative Loafing Music

Small Reactions are performing second.



Small Reactions play nerve pop. Their music has tinges of new wave and post punk; it’s often angular, sometimes surfy, and generally quick.

They've played somewhere in the vicinity of 120 shows. With an average of 45 minutes on stage per show, they have amassed roughly 5, 355 minutes of playing music to an audience. This bio has to be updated with a calculator.

Shows are more akin to movements than a simple collection of songs. Songs, in turn, maintain a sense of careful spontaneity. Small Reactions strive for perpetual motion. Some say it isn’t possible, but it is. Their concerts do, however, wrap up in a timely and orderly fashion.

They live in East Atlanta Village in an old stone house (Rock Bottom) with their cats Toby and Walter. The house was built in 1940 and has a bomb shelter which was added in the 1950s.
