New shoegaze band Crybaby to play Historic Athens' Porchfest

Historic Athens Porchfest will return for its sixth year this weekend, bringing crowds to the front stoops of seven of the Classic City's historic neighborhoods. While some bands are regulars at the free music festival, others are brand new.

At 620 Talmadge Drive, the band Crybaby will take the stage for the first time. Heavily influenced by experimental shoegaze music, their indie rock sound is led by frontperson Assata Bellegarde. Their previous solo ventures provide a glimpse into the lush soundscape the band will create on Sunday at 6.

Bellegarde sat down alongside drummer Robert King and WUGA's Paige Walcott to discuss their upcoming performance.
