Though Athens, Georgia, is best known for producing kooky college-rock bands (the B-52's, R.E.M., the Elephant 6 bands), Harvey Milk went against the grain, chasing after a sludgy sound poised 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 coincided with their reunion. They've brought on drummer Joe Preston (the Melvins, Earth, Thrones) for their most recent album, Life... the Best Game in Town, so audiences at the Great American can expect an extra-pummeling performance.
