Tendaberry Breaks Athens' Fourth Wall (PopFest, Little Kings, 8/15/08)

Atlanta's Tendaberry just played a great set of straight up rock music, but even if they hadn't, I would have loved them anyway.  One of the basic no-nos of Athens music is that you don't cover REM.  I've only ever seen one other band even try it (an out of town band), and the crowd got so quiet they stopped halfway through.

So the Tendaberry singer gets on stage, and the first thing he does is sing the first verse and chorus of "So. Central Rain" a capella.  And nicely, at that.  Here's to you, kid.  Its about time that it became OK to cover the elephant in the room.

Really... who doesn't want to hear We Versus the Shark play "Driver 8?"
