Friday, July 2
Clang Quartet (http://www.myspace.com/clangquartet)
Lightning Bolt (http://www.fortthunder.org/music/lb/)
In the Year of the Pig (http://www.southernloveprod.com/ityotp.htm)
Local 506, Chapel Hill
Providence, RI's Lightning Bolt may not have invented the art of making
hellaciously loud noise in sweaty basements across America, but over the
past decade they've certainly refined it to its essence. I suspect it'll
require the focused efforts of all five members of In the Year of the
Pig to come anywhere near the sheer visceral volume of Lightning Bolt's
two.
Friday, July 2

Bambara
Free Electric State (http://www.myspace.com/freeelectricstate)

House doorman Benton Weese. The fairly large guns already came out last
night, but tonight's are even bigger.

Filthybird (http://www.myspace.com/filthybird)
Shipwrecker (http://www.myspace.com/shipwreckermuzak)
Homoticons (http://www.myspace.com/homoticons)
The Pinhook, Durham
Filthybird make swirling, surging, piano-fueled artrock that's equally
influenced by Joni Mitchell's mid-70s experimentalism, and the heavy
grape-koolaid smell of kudzu in the evening.
Saturday, July 3
Mount Moriah (http://www.myspace.com/mountmoriah)
Lonnie Walker (http://www.myspace.com/lonniewalker)
Motor Skills
Tir Na Nog, Raleigh
Last time I saw Mount Moriah, outdoors at Duke Gardens, they were
top-of-their-game taught, intense, and essentially perfect. Cannot wait
for their upcoming record.
Saturday, July 3

Sunday, July 4
Evil Wiener (http://www.evilwienerworld.com/)
The Cave, Chapel Hill
It's the NINTH annual Evil Weiner Roast at the Cave, with your hosts,
Evil Wiener. And actual weiners, being roasted on a grill in the parking
lot out back. Come hungry!
Monday, July 5
LeMaster (http://www.myspace.com/nioverhead)
Local 506, Chapel Hill
Frequent Bright Eyes collaborator & Now It's Overhead mastermind Andy
LeMaster, in some new band configuration. Some folks are speculating as
to whether it'll resemble Now It's Overhead, but it seems to me that the
Azure Ray ladies were a huge part of that sound. I'm thinking maybe we
should look a couple of years further back, to Andy's highly quirky (and
exceptionally catchy) Athens indierock band Drip. But what do I know.
Tuesday, July 6
Sleigh Bells (http://www.myspace.com/sleighbellsmusic)
Nerve City (http://www.myspace.com/nervecity)
Po Po (http://www.myspace.com/popobros)
Cat's Cradle, Carrboro
Get yr laptop, download some of what they were calling "electroclash" a
few years ago, turn the thing up all the way, and then shove your ears
right up against the tiny half-inch plastic speaker so that it feels
like your brains are being shredded from within. That's pretty much the
Sleigh Bells shtick. Kinda catchy, though.
