Are You Hep To The Jive?

Registration for ATLX: Lucky No. 7 is now open!!!! It’s only $60 for the month of January!

Also, mark the date on your calendar — Jan 21, 2010 — when the newly updated ATLX7 volunteer system goes live! If you would like to volunteer for ATLX, please note that the number of hours for full compensation has decreased from 10 to 8 hours!!!  The half compensation for ATLX has also been cut from 5 hours to 4 hours!!! If you choose to volunteer less than 4 hours out of the goodness of your heart, you will receive much appreciation.  Click here to register or to volunteer!

To volunteer at ATLX is quite simple: first, register for ATLX7 and pay for the event. Second, create a login name for the web site (make sure you check the email often, as that is how you will be contacted). Third, sign up for the volunteer shifts you would like to work. Please keep in mind when signing up for some shifts that if you clean up one event, it is unlikely you can set up the next event, as times often overlap. After the event, you will be reimbursed. If you have any questions or concerns, please email Meghan at Volunteers2010@atlx.org.

Hey, y’all!

This is the last week you can receive the ATLX: Lucky No. 7 registration at $70! Prices will increase at midnight, Feb. 28th, and preregistration will close midnight, March 21st.

This year we are pleased to announce the following bands and DJs:

Friday Night: Jambiance (aka the Gypsy Hicks)
www.myspace.com/thegypsyhicks

Jambiance plays 1930's swing in the style of the Hot Club of Paris made famous by legendary guitarist Django Reinhart. Jambiance strives to re-create the sound of French bistros and cabarets where this blend of musette, gitane, and "le jazz hot" originated.

Saturday Night:Still Swinging, with Les Still
www.stillswinging.com

Still Swinging was founded in 1997 by Les Still, a native of Cobb County, Ga. He has assembled a roster of the finest trumpet, trombone, saxophone and rhythm players in the metro area to create just the right blend. The final product is a unique sound that truly captures the essence of the swing era.

Sunday Night: The Gravediggers
Website: www.myspace.com/gravediggersband

The Gravediggers are the house band for the Graveyard Tavern in East Atlanta Village, playing a mix of swing, jump blues, boogie woogie and jazz standards, featuring Atlanta music veterans James Brooks on guitar and vocals, Bob Page on piano and vocals, and Bill Burke on bass. The Gravediggers band played at last year’s ATLX 6 and received fantastic reviews all around; we are thrilled to have them back this year.
