RTP-area local music and culture

[Melissa <mel AT pressgangrocks.com>]

FYI and as a footnote to Glenn's schedule - although hardly no one was 
there, a post-turkey day show by Brooklyn's Maplewood (Mark from 
Champale, Ira from Nada Surf, Steve Koester, Craig from Winterville and 
occasionally Cub Country...) rocked in a sun-dappled, Pacific-coast 
highway sorta way. This was the start of a tour and the rest of their 
shows are with Cub Country or Luna. If they are able to come back 
through to play, it's a show I'd most highly recommend.
