> This is the weekly Local Bands, Local Beers show. Schooner are masters

> 
> You may have heard rumors about a special secret third band on the bill, 
> and there is one. Schooner's Maria Albani will beat me up if I say who 
> they are, and she's a vicious beastie, so I'll refrain. But I'll say 
> this: They're from Raleigh.

> Local 506, Chapel Hill
> 
> Anthemic power-poppers I Was Totally Destroying It are probably the 
> hardest-working band in Triangle showbiz at present. Bustello are a 
> supergroup of late-80s/early-90s Triangle vets; they make a spooky, 
> reverb-drenched indie-rock that's highly reminiscent of singer/guitarist 
> Ben Clarke's earlier band Metal Flake Mother.

> NC School of Science and Math, Durham
> 
> This is what the folks at Durham contemporary composers' collective 
> Pulsoptional said about this show:
> 
> "Just a friendly reminder that in our first local spring showcase 
> concert in 5 years, this Saturday, May 8th 2010 at 8:00 PM, pulsoptional 
> will be presenting Music In Durham Is New , a night of exciting new 
> works and local premieres. We will be returning to the beautiful ETC 
> Auditorium on the campus of the North Carolina School of Science and 
> Mathematics located on the corner of Club Blvd. and Maryland Ave in 
> Durham. The concert is being presented as a part of NCSSM’s fine arts 
> series and is FREE and open to the public.
> 
> The compositions on the program, bringing together electric strings, 
> woodwinds, piano, drums, marimba and live electronics are:
> 
> Sidney Boquiren: Doves (2007) — joyous grooves, floating peace and the 
> mourning in between.
> 
> marc faris: Smile and Nod Knowingly (2008) — math rock sensibility, drum 
> and bass aesthetic all in a whirlwind
> 
> John Mayrose: Monophony (2005) — anti-counterpoint meets fibonacci. 
> TapOut (2008) — digital delay lines performed by live players.
> 
> Sigur Rós (arr. Todd Hershberger): Ì Gær (1999/2008) — Icelandic 
> soundscape prog excursion.
> 
> Carrie Shull: Bell chimes and drums (2008) — candle light 
> tintinnabulation and free improv drum drones.
> 
> And the local premiere of Aaron Brooks' Quintet (2008), a pulsoptional 
> commission from a young North Carolina composer now in the doctoral 
> composition program at University of Pittsburg. The piece is Brooks' 
> attempt "to find a happy union of experimental rock and modern chamber 
> music," obviously a good fit for pulsoptional.
> 
> As a tribute to the city that pulsoptional likes to call home, the 
> concert will be accompanied by visual projections of stunning historic 
> images from the Digital Durham Project as well as inspired city images 
> by local photographers and visual artists."
