Spelling Bee
Bickett Gallery, Raleigh

No, not a band called "Spelling Bee" -- an actual spelling bee. Sign
up by 9:30; spelling commences at 10:00. There will be prizes,
including a copy of "Spellbound" (the spelling bee doc, not the
Hitchcock film, duh) and, apparently, free drinks for right answers.

Malt Swagger, Chest Pains, Regina Hexaphone
[http://www.reginahexaphone.com], Bombshell
Blayloc, Durham

Blayloc is the oft-changing club space just across the parking-alley
from the Durham Arts Council building in downtown Durham (you can see
it from the sidewalk in front of Joe & Jo's).

Malt Swagger are apparently reunited; I hadn't even realized they'd
been dis-united (I just assumed they were taking their
own-sweet-time). In any case, they make swirly pulsing instrumental
music.

Chest Pains are a punk rock band featuring former Jett Rink guitarist
Tim Ristau, Pleasant drummer Eric Herman, and former Spectator
rockcrit Greg Barbera on bass & yelling. They are stripped-down and
pretty damn aggro for a buncha old fuckers.

Regina Hexaphone are the countryish-rockish-folkish band featuring the
singing/songwriting of Sara Bell (Dish, Shark Quest, Angels of
Epistemology).

Bombshell are a brand-new Durham band/supergroup featuring Jerry Kee
(Dish, Duck-Kee studios), Danny Hooley (Ugly Americans, Orange
Driver), Danny Kurtz (Backsliders, Pinetops, Tremblers) and Sarah
Reichmann (no parentheticals, sorry). They're playing first at 9:30,
so step lively.

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone [http://www.tomlab.com], Dear Nora
[http://www.dearnoramusic.com/], Bellafea [http://www.bellafea.com/]
Duke Coffeehouse, Durham



Friday, October 28
Strange [http://www.thisisstrange.org], Pile of Face, Jett Rink
[http://www.jett-rink.com/]
Kings, Raleigh

Strange make weird booming Birthday Party-inspired echo-rock that I
might've called gothic once-upon-a-time, back before the NC State Fair
was overrun with black-clad teens in heavy eyeliner & the term was
first perverted & then rendered meaningless.

Jett Rink play the rocket-fueled new-wave/surf/punk/dancerock that all
the kids go gaga over.



Saturday, October 29
Fontana, Dom Casual, Garmonbozia
305 South, Durham

Garmonbozia are, apparently, "a collective of musicians from Malt
Swagger, Dom Casual, Ameliorate, Wigg Report, and Jim
Smith's Tall Buildings, who will be performing music from Twin Peaks,"
which I take to mean the music of Angelo Badalamenti. No word on
who'll be channelling Julee Cruise.

Fontana have a cut on the new Downtown Durham Inc compilation "Rockin'
the Blocks" that is brilliant for at least the first 4 or 5 of its 9
minutes.



Saturday, October 29
Evil Wiener [http://www.evilwienerworld.com/], Anders Magna, Veronique
Diabolique [http://www.veroniquediabolique.com/]
Duke Coffeehouse, Durham

Evil Wiener love Halloween so much that last year they released an
entire Halloween CD, which knit together several of their trademark
holiday-themed songs with one of their equally-trademark goofy skits.
They live for every holiday (and every weird thing they can think up
to commemorate it), but Halloween is their tip-top fave.

Veronique Diabolique are the only French-speaking goth band from
Durham.



Saturday, October 29
White Elephant, Fake Swedish [http://fakeswedish.4t.com/index.html],
The Spinns [http://www.thespinns.freeservers.com/]
Local 506, Chapel Hill

White Elephant are a new band featuring Johnny Dzubak (Leadfoot, 506
bartender, guitar hero), Cam Weeks (ex-Comas, Jule Brown, gawd, I
forget who-all else) on drums, and Hugh Swaso.

Fake Swedish make the kind of smart 60s-tinged british-invasion (not
so much Beatles as Kinks/Faces, with dashes of Hendrix thrown in for
good measure) rock that we could use more of.

The Spinns' new album, "Lost Colony," sounds like it was recorded in
somebody's garage in 1965, which is a Very Good Thing. Girl!



Saturday, October 29
The Oranges Band [http://www.theorangesband.com], Gerty
[http://www.gerty.org], Schooner [http://www.schoonermusic.com]
Wetlands, Chapel Hill

Gerty may have been great before, but they're at least 428x better now
that they've drafted ex-Butchies drummer Melissa Buffington-York, who
was more-or-less made to play drums for Gerty.



Saturday, October 29
DMBQ [http://www.dmbq.net/bio_e.asp], Shellshag, The Greatest Hits
[http://www.thegreatesthits.org/]
Kings, Raleigh

Sentai, Alvarez Painting
[http://www.trekkyrecords.com/alva/index.html], Opening Flower Happy
Bird [http://www.myspace.com/openingflowerhappybird], Boyzone
[http://kodakculture.org/katherine/boyszone]
Nightlight, Chapel Hill

Opening Flower Happy Bird put out one of my favorite EPs of the year,
all low-fi bedroom guitar and cheap-keyboard beats and absurdist
lyrics sung in unison by two boys.



Sunday, October 30
Park Life [http://www.parklifeband.com/], Bellglide
[http://www.bellglide.com/], Shalini

Garmonbozia, Covergirls Revisited
Local 506, Chapel Hill

In case you didn't make it over to 305 South on Saturday, Garmonbozia
(a local supergroup featuring members of Malt
Swagger, Dom Casual, Ameliorate, Wigg Report, and Jim
Smith's Tall Buildings) will be performing music from Twin Peaks (oh
man, that makes me feel really old all of a sudden).

AND as if that weren't enough, the rotating/recombining cast of local
woman rockers (members of Polynya, Gerty, New Town Drunks, The
Pinkslips, Blackstrap, Destroyed By Kittens, The Young Idea) who
performed at the Rock Camp for Girls finale will be reprising their
tribute to their favorite woman rockers (Fleetwood Mac, Runaways,
Fetchin' Bones and more).



Monday, October 31
Urge Overkill [http://www.urgeoverkill.com/], Strange
[http://www.thisisstrange.org], Stratocruiser
[http://www.stratocruisermusic.com/]
Cat's Cradle, Carrboro



Monday, October 31
Evil Wiener [http://www.evilwienerworld.com/], New Town Drunks
[http://www.thirdmind.org/featured_artists/NTD/index.html]
Fuse, Chapel Hill

Evil Wiener throw the best Halloween Party of anybody, hands-down.
They're joined this year by the New Town Drunks, who write songs with
spanish-guitar-and-gutsy-female-singing about, well, drinking. Tonight
I'm told there will be some sort of Captain & Tenille tribute. Brrr.



Monday, October 31
The Black Angels, Glissade [http://www.myspace.com/glissade]
Kings, Raleigh

Glissade = ultra-wall-of-gtr-drones (with drums, but no singing)



Monday, October 31
The Clientele [http://www.mergerecords.com], Annie Hayden
[http://www.mrg2000.com/merge/bio.html?id=annie], Pleasant
[http://www.pleasantmusic.com]
Local 506, Chapel Hill

Half-price admission if you show up dressed as Martin Hall!



Monday, October 31
Hand of Doom
Wetlands, Chapel Hill

This is being billed as a "Halloween Pirate Party" and Hand of Doom
are some sort of [indie-rocker-comprised] Black Sabbath tribute. Of
course, you'll have to brave the horrors of East Franklin in order to
get there . . .



Tuesday, November 1
Say Hi To Your Mom [http://www.sayhitoyourmom.com/]
Duke Coffeehouse, Durham



Tuesday, November 1
Feeding the Fire [http://www.feedingthefire.com/], Marat
[http://www.morisen.com/marat/], Los Burbanks
[http://www.losburbanks.com/]
Local 506, Chapel Hill



Wednesday, November 2
Ticonderoga [http://www.ticonderobics.com/]
Bickett Gallery, Raleigh

This is a CD-release party for the beautiful new Ticonderoga CD "The
Heilig-Levine LP." Better than last year's: the casual [Malkmussy]
vocals are the same, but the arranging is even more self-assuredly
weird, with jazz drums skating over guitars, bloops/bleeps, & the
occasional strings & horns.
