The Observatory is a hastily-assembled band consisting of members of Elephant 6, thrown together for the purpose of playing with other bands at this week's R.E.M. tribute concert at the 40 Watt in Athens. Bill Doss sang lead vocals, B.P. Helium harmonies, and members of Olivia Tremor Control, Fabulous Bird, and The Sunshine Fix handled the instruments. I'm working on a more in-depth article about The Observatory, but in the meantime check out these YouTube videos shot from the crowd: one of The Observatory playing "Begin the Begin," the other of the finale to the evening, "It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)," in which all the bands crowded the stage with R.E.M. (You can glimpse B.P. standing near the center of the stage and singing back-up.)
