Noot d’ Noot, Cloudeater at Star Bar tonight

Decisions, decisions. I bet you could check out Noot d’ Noot, Cloudeater and Glenn Underground if you timed it right.

Cloudeater is probably my favorite Atlanta-based band outside of Mastodon. I first heard them at a park in West End, copped the CD for a couple bucks, and the next thing I know, they’re opening for Little Dragon at the Masquerade. In the big room.

And of course, Noot d’ Noot has been holding down the funky disco music for a minute. Mathis Hunter is the ringleader of a big band where everyone looks and sounds like they are having a good time. You will, too.

$8. Doors at 9 p.m. So go to Star Bar first, check out Cloudeater’s opening set, get warmed up dancing with Noot d’ Noot, then head over to the Sound Table.

Glenn Underground DJing at Sound Table tonight

Chicago has been making a big showing in Atlanta recently, with Terry Hunter having played here on Saturday, and Glenn Underground playing Sound Table tonight for his first Atlanta appearance.

Kai Alce’s monthly Distinctive has brought some legendary DJs through town, and Alce is a force in his own right, many times opening up for the guest DJ or spinning solo.

“Glenn is part of the second generation of pioneers coming from Chicago, right behind legends such as Lil Louis , Larry Heard and Marshall Jefferson,” Alce says. He’s most impressed by Underground’s production — and the Friday-night set is a big deal considering the self-taught keyboardist’s beliefs often prevent such bookings.

$10 all night. Doors at 10 p.m., but you may want to come a wee bit later so that Sound Table’s dinner crowd clears out and you have room to dance.
