Athcast - Athens Music! show

Summary: Lake City Athens, GA, five-piece Lake City is a rock band. Sure, there's a lot more going on than just that, but first and foremost, Lake City is a rock band. Frontman Matt Stossel has kept himself busy providing guitar and pedal steel assistance to half a dozen Athens bands, including Summer Hymns and Don Chambers, and he's a member of the Centro-matic spin-off band South San Gabriel. Somehow he's managed to find the time to start his own project with the help of his former Grand Fury cohorts Bill Rhoton (Guitar, Keys) and Dave Whitling (Drums). Drafting token Midwesterner Fritz Gibson on bass, and piano-pop wunderkind Jojo Glidewell of Athens's Modern Skirts, the band has already attracted a great deal of attention in a town chock full of impressive bands. Lake City has shared the stage with such like-minded artists as Centro-matic, Varnaline's Anders Parker, former V-Roys and Superdrag guitarist Mic Harrison, and Magnolia Electric Co.
