Hello nice people,

We are In the Year of  the Pig

and we are going to play a show on Thursday at Nightlight
and if you think maybe it would be nice we would really like to see
you there and say hello
and it will be even better than it could have been because our friends
and personal heroes Mr. Dave Cantwell
and Lincoln Sward are going to come and play music with us
and such a congregation seems appropriate as this is a golden pig year
as well as a fire pig year

...and there are more shows that same night like the Strugglers and
Lost in the Trees and Prayers and Tears at Blend/Wetlands and Malt
Swagger in Durham, and Bowerbirds in Raleigh and even the Walkmen at
Local 506 (I really used to like Jonathan Fire Eater)...

but still maybe you want to come to Nightlight, because as Mr. Grady
said on trianglerock.com, there will be love spilling out all over
probably,

but neither in some fucking hippy way nor a pornographic one

and TWO drummers... which means rock show usually

Oh for joy.

March 22 @ Nightlight (405 1/2 W. Rosemary St., Chapel Hill, NC)

Their new record is supposed to be pretty fucking good, at least fox
