The Catacombs was a coffeehouse/performance space/club/hangout created by Mother David in 1967 for the growing community of what came to be called hippies centered about 14th and Peachtree. Read what the Atlanta Gazette had to say about the club.

Darryl Rhoades was the drummer in the house band Celestial Voluptous Banana. Here is what he had to say on the subject.

In the 1980s Darryl Rhoades band The Hahavishnu Orchestra portrayed the hippie house band in a movie about Atlanta hippies, “Summer of Love”.  For the movie the basement of what was now For Heads Only was repainted in black and dayglo colors to match photos and memories.

On the quiet it became an after-hours club and began attracting major Atlanta artists stopping in to jam.
