Though Athens, Georgia, is best known for producing kooky college-rock bands (the B-52's, R.E.M., the Elephant 6 collective), Harvey Milk went against the grain, chasing after a sludgy sound that sits between Led Zeppelin and the Melvins. Long a cult favorite, Harvey Milk's original albums were out-of-print holy grails, until a recent reissue campaign by Relapse Records that coincided with a reunion tour. The band brought on drummer Joe Preston (Melvins, Earth, Thrones) for its most recent album, Life…the Best Game in Town, so audiences can expect an extra-pummeling performance when Milk play tonight alongside death-metal acts Crematorium and Covenance.
