Think of the first couple months as a recuperation period. A lot of bands leave the road to record or recover from their winter shows, and club attendance usually shrink a little as people regain their energy following the holidays. That said, there are still some great shows coming up in the Fountain Square area, so get your sleep and get back out there.

Radio Radio starts the new year with rockabilly powerhouses Bigger Than Elvis on Saturday, January 3rd. L.A.-based roots rocker James Intveld comes to town January 5th, and vaudevillian indie rockers Born Again Floozies return to the stage on January 17th.

Sam's Saloon brings in the roots rock of Kory Quinn and the Comrades with Ten Foot Band on January 2nd. There's also a big showcase featuring shoegaze favorites Yuki, eclectic rockers 83 Feet, Freddie T and The People and Nidus on January 17th. Other acts rounding out the month include The Marionette Resistance on January 9th, The Highway and Fairview on January 10th, the Woodbox Gang on January 16th, and ATHENS! on the 30th. Nidus returns February 21st, and Avero plays February 27th.

Remember that Deano's Vino features acoustic rock, folk and jazz music every weekend, and it's Swing Night at the Fountain Square Theater every 2nd and 4th Friday. Enjoy, and Happy New Year.
