40 Nights of Rock & Roll
Meet Steve LaBate and Scott Sloan, Film-Making Rock ‘n Roll Road Warriors
Two gentlemen, one Jeep, a mighty stretch of pavement, and one rock show every night for forty nights on the road. That’s the basic premise behind 40 Nights of Rock & Roll, the documentary that Steve and Scott of Southgate Studios are creating after an epic cross-country quest. Scott and Steve give great interview, so we won’t waste time with a boring intro. Let’s just say that we may have to steal Steve’s sangria-soaked party at the Wren’s Nest idea…
40 Nights of Rock Archive: Day 10 video blog - Tendaberry, David Barbe
Scott and Steve wake up in a hotel in Athens, GA, their friend Andy still passed out from the previous night’s shenanigans. Next, they head to Chase Park Transduction studio to meet briefly with legendary producer/engineer/bassist David Barbe. Formerly of the bands Sugar, Mercyland and Buzz Hungry, Barbe has since worked on records by the Drive-By Truckers, R.E.M., Harvey Milk, Bloodkin, Son Volt, Widespread Panic, The Rock*A*Teens and many more. He also currently fronts David Barbe & the Quick Hooks, and is head of the music-business program at the University of Georgia.
Once in Atlanta, the 40 Nights crew ends up at a bizarre house party in Atlanta’s Edgewood neighborhood, where they catch post-punk soul band Tendaberry and friends soundchecking a cover of The Ramones “The KKK Took My Baby Away.”

Check out this brand new release from Tendaberry. It’s not officially out until tomorrow night when the band hosts its CD-release party at The Star Bar in Atlanta, but 40 Nights of Rock has this special preview for you!
We highly recommend this bands unique hybrid of rock, pop, post-punk and soul—especially if you like Prince, the Pixies, Joy Division and/or TV on the Radio.
