Hope everyone tunes in to watch this excellent documentary. If you would like to read more about Greg Jacobs and Jon Siskel's tour through the southeast back in October than check out the blog posts here.


In further Louder Than a Bomb news, Indiewire online has written up a really great review of the film. You can read the review here.


Congratulations again to Greg Jacobs and Jon Siskel and the whole Louder Than a Bomb team! So glad that you were able to share your work with all of our Southern Circuit audiences!

LTAB takes a day off...kinda.

Madison Georgia is smack dab in between Milledgeville, home of Flannery O'Connor, and Athens, home of REM. So I headed south to Milledgeville for a morning visit to Andalusia, the home of one of America's greatest writers... thanks to Craig Amason for the tour!

On my way back thru Madison I was able to squeeze in a midday screening for the students

at the Morgan County Crossroads School...a very special thanks to Bobby Mackey for all your hard work, we look forward to future collaborations with you and the Boys and Girls Clubs.

Heading north out of Madison on my way to Athens, I stopped for a taste of Plains Georgia's finest...they taste like potatoes, tiny potatoes. No REM sightings in Athens, but I did stumble upon Weaver D's...delicious fried chicken and inspiration for a REM album title.

Next stop... South Carolina!

LTAB continues on the Southern Circuit in Madison, GA

Thanks to everyone at the Madison Morgan Cultural Center (especially Dina) for putting together such a great screening...the old school house was rocking with poetry and applause. And a special shout out to the boys (and girl!!), from the Boys and Girls Club of Madison...it was great to see the youths reprezent off-screen too!

Louder Than a Bomb...First Night

It was a beautiful autumn evening here in Birmingham, and we are thrilled for Louder Than a Bomb to be "on the circuit" and participating in the South Arts program.

Great audience tonight at the Alys Stephens Center on the University of Alabama at Birmingham campus...a special thanks to Eric, David and Lizzy for putting together such a great screening!

We hope to harness all the enthusiasm for the film and LTAB, and channel that excitement into future screenings and ultimately plant the seeds for "LTAB Birmingham".

Thanks everyone for coming out tonight...we hope to see you again soon!!
