Chris McKay and the Critical Darlings @ the Atlantis Music Conference
September 22, 2008
The Atlantis Music Conference just wrapped up here in Atlanta and I wanted to
share what had to be my favorite band of the whole festival, next to my friends,
of course.
Chris McKay and the Critical Darlings is a very vintage powerpop rock quartet
from Athens that absolutely blew me away. They were by far the best band at
Vinyl on Friday night and got the best audience reaction, too. It's hard to put
everything into a 30 minute set with a STRICT timetable, but they did it. Where
all of the other too-cool-to-care hipsters were just contrived or had no stage
presence, these guys had a presence, with just enough spectacle. Here's a video
to give you a taste, though it doesn't begin to do them justice.
