*Tonight!
*

*Tues 12/14 Dan Kinney / Spaghetti
Western<http://www.myspace.com/theleonardcohencoverband>/ Mephisto
Scruggs- 9:30 PM : $5
*

Local bedroom pop creator Dan Kinney brings his sweet croon to the
Nightlight along with banjo-rock weirdos Mephisto Scruggs.  Spaghetti
Western is sandwiched in the middle. (member of Pavement-think Leonard
Cohen?)

*Wed 12/15 I Am Dynamite <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oma8GaVXrj4> / Mumu
Tutu <http://www.mumututu.com/> / Dirty
Slang<http://www.reverbnation.com/dirtyslang>- 9:30 PM :: $5
*

Raleigh post-alternative pop duo IAMDYNAMITE got more hooks than a tacklebox
and fuzzrock you back to junior high with their sweet emotions. Fellow Wake
Co. boys Mumu Tutu make the 70's-90's split with Cheap Trick-style anthemic
rock'n'roll mixed with J Mascis-style guitar wash. Hometown newcomers Dirty
Slang play an interesting blend of indie-flavored drone-blues that I'm
looking forward to hearing in the live setting. Rocks at 9:30.

*Thurs 12/16* Rockin' Ammonia
Karaoke<http://www.facebook.com/rockinammoniakaraoke#%21/event.php?eid=107918675946109>-

Gringo<http://www.myspace.com/pinchegringoband>/ Mark Holland (solo) -
9:30 PM :: $5
*

We're lucky to get another rare performance from Big Picture, a
highly-rhythmic woozy-psych chamber combo featuring members of the Never,
Annuals, and Lost in the Trees. Gate City dirt-garage one-man band Pinche
Gringo and Rhythm Force/Jennyanykind/Jule Brown songwriter Mark Holland fill
the bill.
