The Werehouse may now be going entirely by the name Krankies; it's not entirely clear from here (they're in Winston-Salem). Either way: Yard Work are from Charlotte and are one of the top-5 live bands currently living/working in North Carolina, which is why I'm going out of my way to list a show that's an hour away.
