>This Thing We Did Fest    (http://www.myspace.com/ttwdfest)
>Old Gilliam Mill Park, Sanford
>
>Holy crap, check out the lineup for this fest that the guys from Dr. 
>Powerful (including ex-Polvo drummer Eddie Watkins) dreamed up:
>
>TTWD is an all day music festival held at the Old Gilliam Mill Park 
>outside of Sanford, NC on August 8, 2009. The park is a replica of a 
>19th century grist mill, and it is a great place to see music. Bands 
>play in an amphitheatre style setting on a stage that looks like the 
>front porch of an old shack. It has sort of an “Austin City Limits” 
>feel. There are campsites with electricity, running water, bathrooms, 
>and showers. There is also a full kitchen onsite, and food and beverages 
>will be provided by Bella Bistro.
>
>The lineup we have this year is nothing short of incredible:
>
>- Hammer No More the Fingers
>- Auxes
>- Fin Fang Foom
>- I Was Totally Destroying It
>- Embarrassing Fruits
>- Caverns
>- Renminbi
>- Vinny Vegas
>- White Tiger & the Bed of Roses
>- Dr. Powerful
>- Starmount
>- Hymn All the Fires
>- Ol' North State
>
>If you want to come out, point your GPS to 4613 Carbonton Rd, SANFORD, 
>North Carolina 27330 (This is the closest physical address to the park. 
>The park itself is on Hwy 42/Carbonton Road in between Wakefield Road 
>and Pickard Road.)

>Steady; I think he's also in (or has been in) World Inferno/Friendship 
>Society. Note that this show was moved to Saturday the 8th, and will 
>happen promptly at 9:00 in order to leave room for the punkrock show 
>happening later.

>Tin Star just released an excellent debut EP, Bettie Lane, on Fractured

>occasionally unnerving voice, and Louis Botta's often-distorted guitar, 
>which wanders all over in the background.

>Erectus Monotone    (http://mergerecords.com/artists/erectus_monotone)
>Tir Na Nog, Raleigh
>
>Erectus Monotone were active from the very late 80s til the very early 
>90s. Historically speaking, there's nothing I can say about them here 
>that Brian Walsby doesn't do better here: 
>http://introvertedloudmouth.blogspot.com/2009/07/erectus-monotone-reforms.html
>
>They reunited for the first time in 16+ years last month at XXMerge, but 
>the seeds may or may not have been planted last summer, when Superchunk 
>covered "The Day the Sharks Flew" at a Cy Rawls benefit & invited 
>Jennifer & Kevin along to help out.
>
>Either way, their XXMerge set was one of my top-5 of the whole week. 
>There were a lot of "together for the first time in years" bands at 
>XXMerge, but with the exception of a couple of false starts, you really 
>couldn't tell with Erectus. They were every bit as tightly-wound and 
>spazzy as their records would suggest.
>
>So it's a huge treat to get the chance to see them again so soon after 
>XXMerge, and I'm sorry to the boys in Rocket Cottage (who're fixing to 
>release their debut EP) that having Erectus Monotone on the bill means 
>they're getting overshadowed a bit (although I know they're as psyched 
>as I am about getting to see EM again).

>Holy shit. The original lineup of Pipe (Dave Alworth, Mike Kenlan, Chuck 
>Garrison & Ron Liberti) reunited to play XXMerge, and I swear to god, it 
>was like walking into a Pipe show circa 1993. They were loosey-tighty in 
>the same old way; Chuck's drumming was as massive as always; Ron was 
>snatching beercans out of the air & tossing them back into the crowd as 
>though it's something he still does on a weekly basis.
>
>How lucky for you (and me), then, that they decided to play one or two 
>additional shows for the 98% of their fans who couldn't make it to 
>XXMerge. If you've ever seen Pipe, then I shouldn't have to tell you 
>(but seriously: every bit as great as ever). If you've *never* seen Pipe 
>. . . just go. GO.
