Gift Horse is from Athens, GA, & list their influences as Herschel
Walker, who was great at UGA, Minnesota, & Philly, but the Cowboys
suck. Flagpole says they have "the sprawling abstract noise rock thing
nailed down pretty solidly, though it never really lets the songs get
too far out to remain compelling."

Lake Inferior was the flagship band of Vinyl Records (UNC's pioneering
student-run label), and the Independent Weekly described their most
recent LP: "Rapid-fire rhythms and falsetto vocals usher in the album
on the dreamy "Addressing Parents," shaped by a hypnotic repeated
guitar riff and stacks of harmonies. Handclaps and vibes drive the
Technicolor standout "Gepeddo," chockablock with chipper, singsong doo-
wops and synth blips. Side two opener "Johnny B" trips on keyboard
overdoses and otherworldly haze, while hyperactive pop tune "Wall
Song" explodes into a swirl of synth, harmonies and chiming guitars."

Twin Tigers is from Athens, GA. NPR says their songs are "raw,
untethered and adorned with sudden snarls of guitar feed back and
vocals muddled in effects. Woven in the trance-like layers are simple
but memorable melodies that keep the music grounded."

You should come and have a party with us.
