are quite fantastic. Show starts at 9:30pm.

Opening Flower Happy Bird (
http://www.myspace.com/openingflowerhappybird)
OK Bird
305 South, Durham

This is a free show that commences at 8:00 p.m. Opening Flower Happy
Bird are half-Carrboro, half-Richmond; their rig consists of a couplea
drumkits, a guitar, and a laptop, and with those they make cute
rattletrap melancholy dancepop.

Jeff Hart & The Ruins
The Hanks (http://www.thehanks.com/)
Killer Filler (http://www.myspace.com/killerfiller)
Broad Street Cafe, Durham

The Hanks were a Raleigh rockband that included Ron Bartholomew and Jeff
Hart; they were around from '87 until I dunno exactly. They were of the
generation upon whom Arrogance were a huge influence, and in fact played
some gigs backing that band's Robert Kirkland once he went solo. But
they could also be a little more "punk" or at least "new wave,"
especially on the genius "Cigarette," which is now on their MySpace page
(and in the player. It may be the best song to come out of Raleigh circa
'88.

Only two more weekends left at the current version of Kings . . .



Friday, March 30
des_ark (http://www.des-ark.org)
Nathan Asher (http://www.nathanasher.com)
Monologue Bombs (http://www.myspace.com/themonologuebombs)
Bickett Gallery, Raleigh

This used to be listed for 3/23, but now it's listed for 3/30. Sorry for
the confusion. Monologue Bombs is the solo accordion-and-voice
side-project of Goner's Scott Phillips. He has duetted once or twice, at
the Kings Love Hangover, with des_ark's Aimee Argote (and his other band
has been known to toss off the occasional des_ark cover as well). No
word yet on when Aimee's gonna work up that Goner cover. I believe this
is a CD-release for Monologue Bombs.

Senryu (http://www.senryutheband.com/)
Invasion (http://www.myspace.com/invasionmusic)
Sleepsound (http://www.sleepsound.org/)
Local 506, Chapel Hill

This is a CD-release party for uber-nerd band Eyes to Space.



Saturday, March 31
The Moaners (http://www.themoaners.com/)
Spider Bags (http://www.myspace.com/spiderbags)
Un Deux Trois (http://www.undeuxtroisband.com/)
Cat's Cradle, Carrboro

This is a CD-release party for the Moaners' brand-new CD _Blackwing
Yalobusha_, which is a lot like their first CD, only moreso, albeit
perhaps more slowly, which shouldn't necessarily surprise given that it
was recorded in Mississippi.

Warning to whomever wants to listen: last time I tried to see the Spider
Bags at the Cradle, smack in the middle of a multi-band bill, they took
like 40 minutes to set up their shit, and then all adjourned to the bar.
I left at the 1-hour mark, so I dunno exactly when they finally managed
to get their asses onstage. Bring a book; it'll give you something to
throw at them.



Saturday, March 31
Schooner (http://www.schoonermusic.com)
Tennis and the Mennonites (http://www.tennisandthemennonites.com)
Bull City (http://www.bullcitytheband.com/)
The Tiny Meteors (http://www.myspace.com/thetinymeteors)
Sugar in the Dirt (http://www.myspace.com/sugarinthedirt)
Kings, Raleigh

This say this one starts right at 9:30, and with 5 bands, you'd perhaps
best hope so. Schooner have signed up with 54-40 or Fight, the label
that released the two proper Ticonderoga CDs. Tennis & the Mennonites
released a CD last year called _Quilt Noise_, although I'm not sure they
ever got around to sending it to press & radio. Insert tree/forest joke
here.



Saturday, March 31
The Keep (http://www.purevolume.com/thekeep)
Embarrassing Fruits (http://www.myspace.com/embarrassingfruits)
Hammer No More the Fingers (http://www.hnmtf.com)
I Was Totally Destroying It (http:/www.myspace.com/iwtdi)
305 South, Durham

I Was Totally Destroying It is a new band with John Booker (En Garde,
ex-Strunken White), James Hepler (Sorry About Dresden), and a couple of
folks from the young Durham band A-OK. This is their first show.



Saturday, March 31
Wigg Report (http://www.synchronizedswim.org)
Chest Pains (http://www.myspace.com/thechestpains)
Red Collar (http://www.myspace.com/redcollarmusic)
Bull City Headquarters, Durham

Is this punk rock? Your average 14-year-old Green Day fan would
emphatically disagree, but the DIY spirit, the stripped-down sounds, the
urgency, the anger, the politics & the sense of humor all point to yes.
Shit, Wigg Report may be an acoustic "antifolk" band with a drummer who
plays snare standing up, but they totally rock the Agent Orange cover.



Saturday, March 31
Boxbomb
Barbarella (www.myspace.com/barbarellach)
Stone Fox
Slow Motion Crash (http://www.myspace.com/smctheband)
Local 506, Chapel Hill



Saturday, March 31
DJ Nasty Boots
Crash (http://www.myspace.com/crashkills)
Le Weekend (http://www.myspace.com/mattwkalb)
Nightlight, Chapel Hill

Le Weekend is a new band featuring ex-members of Hotel Motel & Piedmont
Charisma. It's more or less the brainchild of HotMot/Audubon Park
guitarist Matt Kalb, so it's kinda proggy, kinda Televisiony, kinda
Steely Dan. Plus Bob Wall plays some of the nicest basslines I've ever
heard.



Sunday, April 1
Savage Knights (http://www.retroactivedynamics.com)
WXDU 88.7 FM, Durham

Savage Knights are one of the many bands that Crowmeat Bob is in. They
have a pretty good description of themselves on their MySpace page, so
here you go:

"We make jazz-like music. Mike Isenberg and Crowmeat Bob are our primary
composers -- they play drums and reeds/guitar, respectively. Jon "The
Hubb" plays tenor sax. Peter Lamb has been playing tenor, too, and
hopefully some clarinet. Phil Martelli was our bass man for a good
spell, but we've recently signed on Chris Eubank to make an assay . . .
The charts vary stylistically from straight chord-change jazz to
heavy-metal-jazz to Ornette-like head-improv-head to whatever else we
feel like. One number doesn't even have any improvised parts."

5:00 p.m. 88.7 FM or wxdu.org.

Honored Guests (http://www.thehonoredguests.com/)
Gray Young (http://www.myspace.com/grayyoung)
Left Outlet (http://www.myspace.com/leftoutlet)
Kings, Raleigh

Gray Young are a relatively young shoegazery indie-rock band from around
here somewhere. Honored Guests make moody indie-pop. Dunno Left Outlet,
yet.



Tuesday, April 3
Tooth
Giant Squid (http://giantsquidmusic.com)
Grayceon (http://www.grayceon.com)
Reservoir, Carrboro

There's a good entry on Tooth in the Indy's music blog, Scan:

Wednesday, April 4
Sebadoh (http://www.sebadoh.com/)
The Bent Moustache (http://www.thebentmoustache.com)
Cat's Cradle, Carrboro



Wednesday, April 4
Twilighter (http://twilighter.net/)
Eberhardt (http://www.myspace.com/eberhardtnc)
Guitar Bomb (http://www.guitarbomb.com)
The Cave, Chapel Hill

Twilighter is a weird-good band of local music veterans; they've got a
Velvet Underground influence, a little bit of Orange County twang, and a
nervous energy that makes 'em seem less veteran than they are.



Wednesday, April 4
Jack Rose (http://www.vhfrecords.com/jackrose/)
The Hem of His Garment (http://www.myspace.com/thehemofhisgarment)
Gowns (http://www.myrobobedroom.com)
Nightlight, Chapel Hill

The Hem of His Garment make massive overamped drones; when they want to,
they can harness a couple of dozen people (and a couple of dozen amps,
natch) and build the biggest wall of sound you've ever heard, period. Or
they can do something completely different.



Thursday, April 5
Pigeon John (http://www.pigeonjohn.com/)
Peeping Tom (http://www.myspace.com/peepingtomispatton)
Cat's Cradle, Carrboro



Thursday, April 5
Maple Stave (http://www.maplestave.com)
The Men
The Longshoremen (http://www.myspace.com/thelongshoremen)
Alias Smith & Jones (http://www.myspace.com/aliassmithandjonesband)
Kings, Raleigh

The Maple Stave make sinewy mostly-instrumental 3-piece indie mathrock
from Durham. Alias Smith & Jones is a new band with Greg Eades, who
played bass for the late late great Vanilla Trainwreck, and Danny Kurtz,
who was in the late late great Backsliders.



Thursday, April 5
Beloved Binge (http://www.myspace.com/belovedbinge)
The Gates of Beauty (http://www.myspace.com/gatesofbeauty)
The Cave, Chapel Hill

The Gates of Beauty are Anne Gomez (Cantwell Gomez Jordan) & Wendy
Spitzer (Eyes to Space) on bass, and Shannon Morrow (Scene of the Crime
Rovers) on drums. They make spacey rubberbandy 2-bass-n-drums rock.

Beloved Binge are from Durham: Rob plays guitar & drums; Eleni plays
drums & guitar. They both sing. Not all their songs are about
misanthropy, but enough are that I really love 'em.



Thursday, April 5
Remora (http://www.silbermedia.com/remora/)
Hotel Hotel (http://www.myspace.com/hotelhotel)
Revenge of Shinobi (http://www.myspace.com/revengeofshinobi)
Clod and Pebble (http://www.myspace.com/clodandpebble)
Nightlight, Chapel Hill



Friday, April 6
Pulsoptional (http://www.pulsoptional.org/)
Broad Street Cafe, Durham

This is a CD-release party for the new CD from the Durham-based
21st-century composers' collective Pulsoptional.



Friday, April 6
Brown Mountain Lights (http://www.brownmountainlights.net/)
Phil Lee (http://www.phillee1.com)
Hege V (http://www.vivanashvegas.com/home.htm)
Hideaway BBQ, Raleigh

Hege V is the country-rock-ish band of George Hamilton V, son of country
legend George Hamilton IV. They put out a great twangy proto-alt-country
album back in the 80s, and then broke up when George headed to Nashville.

Joining Hege is another Raleigh->Nashville expat, Phil Lee, as well as
the not-yet-moved-to-Nashville Brown Mountain Lights.



Friday, April 6
TV Knife (http://www.myspace.com/tvknife)
Hard Lessons (http://www.thehardlessons.com/)
Double Negative (http://www.myspace.com/thedoublenegative)
Magic Babies (http://www.myspace.com/themagicbabies)
The Vicious
Kings, Raleigh

The final weekend at Kings commences with this mixed bag of kickass
oldschool hardcore (Double Negative), uncategorizable Raleigh weirdness
(TV Knife) and post-The Weather Badfingeryness (Magic Babies).



Friday, April 6
Chest Pains (http://www.myspace.com/thechestpains)
The Cave, Chapel Hill

The Chest Pains are punk in that cool old-man way, kinda like how Mike
Watt is punk. Except Mike Watt is playing bass for the Stooges right
now, and even though they're old and kinda suck, that's still pretty
fuckin' punk, so don't expect the Chest Pains to live up to that standard.



Friday, April 6
Nola (http://www.myspace.com/nolaband)
The New Familiars (http://www.myspace.com/fedorandguthrie)
Gambling the Muse (http://www.myspace.com/gamblingthemuse)
Bickett Gallery, Raleigh

Nola had a CD-release party just the other day, so hopefully they'll
have copies to sell at this show. Their debut EP was most excellent, in
a Knitters-y country kind of way, so I have high hopes for this followup.



Saturday, April 7
The Loners (http://www.demonbeachrecords.com/loners.html)
The Dynamite Brothers (http://www.dynamitebrothers.com/)
The Greatest Hits (http://www.thegreatesthits.org/)
Black Taj (http://www.amishrecords.com/ami021.html)
Birds of Avalon (http://www.myspace.com/birdsofavalon)
Kings, Raleigh

This is the final rockshow at Kings (well, there's actually also an
afternoon kiddie show on Sunday, but unless you're an afternoon kiddie,
this is it). I've seen a lot of clubs come & go, but in terms of impact
on Raleigh music, this is as major as losing the Fallout. Probably
moreso than that, even, though the loss of the Fallout sure *felt*
awful. Kings is one of those clubs where everything just feels right;
they found their rhythm early on, and the friendliness of the owners &
staff made it a place where anything could happen, from straight-up
Raleigh Rock to some serious high weirdness.

Something will appear to fill the void, whether another Kings, or
something else, but yet the void will remain.



Saturday, April 7
Fin Fang Foom (http://www.lovitt.com/artists/finfangfoom.html)
Caltrop (http://www.myspace.com/caltropband)
Red Collar (http://www.myspace.com/redcollarmusic)
Bull City Headquarters, Durham

This is a benefit for Callum Robbins, son of Jawbox's J. Robbins. Cal is
a little over a year old, and has Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

These three bands bring the rockpower, from the ultra-low sludgemetal of
Caltrop, to the moody atmospheric postpunk of Fin Fang Foom, and the
anthemic working-class east-coast bar-rock of Red Collar.



Saturday, April 7
Joe Romeo (http://www.myspace.com/joeromeomusic)
The Cave, Chapel Hill



Saturday, April 7
Charles Latham (http://www.myspace.com/sircharleslatham)
The Tourist (http://www.myspace.com/thetouristnc)
Bickett Gallery, Raleigh

This is a CD-release party for Cary mope-folker The Tourist. Smartalecky
young antifolker Charles Latham opens. I think Charles needs to spend
less time skewering consumerism and religion, and more time skewering
smartalecky antifolkers, but I like him nevertheless.
