Atlanta’s live music scene continued to thrive throughout 2011. With appearances from such national acts as costumed queen Lady Gaga to local MC Gripplyaz, to reunited noise punk legends Scratch Acid, to The Back Pockets’ hallucinatory productions, CL’s photographers were on the front lines nearly every night. They were bruised and battered in mosh pits, showered in blood, sweat and beer, all to capture these images of from the some of the greatest shows that 2011 had to offer.
