Shoppe / Skylar Gudasz and The Ugly
Girls<http://www.myspace.com/skylargudasz>- $6 :: 9:30 PM
*

Veteran indie songwriter David Dondero lends a haunting vibrato to his tales
of regular American folk dealing with hard times and heartache. Like
Dondero, who put in his time behind the kit with This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb,
John Jaquiss (Spider Bags, Wild Wild Geese) steps out from behind the drums
to front the moody indie pop of Ye Old Shoppe. Skylar Gudasz sings like she
was down in Laurel Canyon in 1970, but the Girls trade in hippie guitars for
smart piano pop.

*Sat 07/03 *Mocha Entertainment and Club Untouchables present.... "Open Mic
Night!

followed by a DAnce party!

All are invited to showcase their fresh talents.. DJ Heather Wilson (Lady

Have the heaviest holiday in the Triangle with Nightlight's Metal Barbecue!
Brooklynites Bezoar and Wizardry come down to NC with some psych-metal and
stoner-thrash. Locals Make and Hog bring a Southern death/doom and stoner
crunch that'll teach folks that "barbecue" is neither a verb nor another
word for "cookout."

Plus, the one and only Aaron Smithers will be grilling out and having food
for a donation exchange..

Pykrete is the solo electronics performance project of Oakland musician and
composer Chuck Johnson. Johnson has worked in improvised music, noise,
experimental rock, American Primitive guitar, and music for film and dance.
In recent years he has developed a versatile analog electronic performance
system, created interactive and intermedia work with unusual interfaces, and
worked extensively with just intonation tuning systems. Recordings of
Johnson’s music have been published by Communion, Amish, Merge, Umbrella,
Phaserprone, Squealer and Threelobed. As Pykrete, Johnson improvises within
the limits of simple analog circuitry, with an ear towards finding faults
and instabilities that might reveal latent beauty.

The new Pykrete double LP Liber Novus, available now from FrequeNC Records,
is comprised of tracks recorded in Johnson's Carborro and Chapel Hill, NC
home studios between 2006 and 2007, as well as a recording of a performance
in Oakland, CA in 2008. Johnson moved to Oakland in 2007 to pursue an MFA in
Electronic Music from Mills College, which he completed in 2009.
