As I understood things, they had a third party doing the flyers who apparently was quite belligerent about postering. One of the fellows in Killer Filler (a band I'm in) called them on this. They were contrite/shocked/ upset and the incident seem to subside. That's the skinny I got. We played there and they seemed like nice enough folks. This was when they just starting to have bands. It was weird because no one was there. I mean no patrons, no staff, nobody. It was a Carolina basketball night. We rehearsed some new stuff and had a fine time. Easy load in.

Are those guys still ripping down and covering up other flyers?

I played Dain's a while back. The "stage" area is literally about six by
six. Nice crowd though. James Joyce, as I understand it, is mostly cover
bands.
I also remembered The Mansion in Chapel Hill. they seem to be booking
the louder, original bands.

Poor old Durham has:

Bull City Headquarters: http://www.bullcityhq.org
Weekly shows at the tiny Dain's Place: http://www.dainsplace.net/
Occasional shows at the James Joyce: http://www.jamesjoyceirishpub.com/

(how do you find out about shows at Dain's or the JJ? I have no idea)

Outdoor shows (mostly, ahem, "family-friendly," although I see some
familiar names on the schedules . . .) which are outlined at this recent
Dependable Erection blog post:

When the students return, of course, there's the Duke Coffeehouse:

So help me out folks; Besides Broad Street Cafe, where to play in
Durham? Raleigh has The Berkley Cafe, Slim's, The Brewery, Sad's,
Lincoln Theater, The Pour House, etc..But what about poor old Durham?
