By Camillia Harris. Who is Arle? Derived from Arletha, she is the next best thing hitting the online airwaves.

For those that don’t have a visual, in my opinion, Arle mirrors the actress by the name of Stacey Dash with an Ethiopian appeal signifying grace and beauty. This phenomenal woman has her own unique flawless identity. The Bay Springs, MS native, describes herself as an entertainers’ entertainer. Being a nurturer by spirit, she engulfs the melodies of others’ happiness. In speaking with Arle about her home town, she says, “I love home, it’s peaceful and its my hideaway for total rejuvenation”.

It’s “3 for $5” and “Open Mic” Night at Smith’s Olde Bar Monday, the 5th Come on in, settle down with a great beer and the meal of your choice, and get ready for a great show upstairs in the Music Room.  Six til Sunrise, A Hero En Route and The Fine Grain will be [...]

By Josh Fritz. Wednesday, June 23^rd at the Masquerade in Atlanta, Georgia was a haven for humorcore enthusiasts. There were three bands scheduled to play and they all came through in the end. Some better then others, but everybody was doing what they loved. What started out as a hot and sunny day turned into something out of a weather horror story. While the sun was shining bright, a torrential downpour came through, soaking everybody to the bone. Nobody could get inside quick enough.

By Josh Fritz. Last night at the Masquerade, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Rawb and Joshy from Psychostick. Very amicable gentlemen, very welcoming and as soon as I sat down, I realized and was rather grateful that they had obviously not let their success go to their head. They were regular people, just like you and I. Rawb was working on sending out posters and Joshy was burning CDs. Like I said, just regular people.

An interview by Summer Stanley. TheRealAtlanta.com: So, I want to start by thanking you for agreeing to share your story with us – I look forward to hearing you expound on what your struggles have resulted in – your own jewelry line, community activism, and tireless advocacy of the homeless. It’s so brave of you and I think it’s a gift for people to be able to hear about your journey. We have a lot to talk about, but to begin, on a more personal level, because you have experienced homelessness, I wanted to know your opinion on how it is a stigmatized condition and how you combat that.
