RTP-area local music and culture

[starchild AT mutualaid.org (Agent Starchild)]

Unless I missed something, it's been a damn long time since a ska band
played in Chapel Hill.  For those of you who missed the Flamingos last
night at Jo & Joe's performance, you have a second chance tonight (Wed
7/14), at Local 506.  They're playing alongside Mon Ami, a local funk
band.  The Flamingos are from Connecticut and have opened for some
major national acts like the Toasters.  Cost is $5, showtime 10 pm. 
IT'S GONNA BE HOT!!!!!!!!!!

THEN... Sunday I have Allstar Otis at Skylight Exchange after the open
mic at 10 pm.  Cost is $3.  Agent Starchild and Tyler Hipnosis will
open.  Allstar Otis is an MC5-ish rock and roll band from Cleveland. 
Some people might call them melodic punk but I prefer "rock and roll"
to designate music that is fast-paced and high energy but involves
singing in key intelligible lyrics and making an attempt to sync your
instruments harmonically.

Both shows will be pretty killer awesome.  The Flamingos' lead singer
was running all over the place at Jo & Joe's, climbing onto chairs,
tables, etc.  The picture I used for the Allstar Otis flyer shows the
frontman jumping with his guitar at least as high as Michael Jordan
used to in the Dean Dome.

So be there or feel stupid later!!!
