Hey y'all -

One of my favorite bands, THE WIGG REPORT, will go ahead and play in
full-band formation at Layabout tomorrow (Saturday)!  Trompo Loco (Stephen
Wigg Report's solo project) was gonna play, but since the other Wiggs can
now attend the party we all figured "why not have one of the best party
bands the Layabout has ever hosted start the party off RIGHT?" So The Wigg
Report will begin the evening's musical program at 9ish PM!

It's a Saturday night party - 1st one in a while at Layabout - so c'mon out
and help MAKE FUN HAPPEN! The Layabout is 2702 Lawndale Ave. Durham. If yr
coming, please keep in mind that the house is on a residential block (just
be cool/smart!) and PLEASE remember to bring cash ($6 suggested but more is
fine too!) for the hard workin' bands and BYOB as well.

Also on the bill will be...

DOM - Worcester, MA-based recent Astralwerks signees. Druggy, catchy and
dance-friendly blisssed out shoegazelectropop  http:// <goog_644496719>

stalwarts that take their cues from 90's indie-elders - Dinosaur Jr.,
Archers, Pavement, et al. 1st time playing The Layabout!  http://

FAN MODINE - at first I thought that for this show Fan Modine would be
Gordon (their frontman and songwriter) playing solo, but now it seems that
at least Seamus (of SNMNMNM fame) will be joining him! Gordon's voice is
stellar and he has songwriting skills to match! Fans of The Magnetic Fields
or Jens Lekman should take note... You don't want to miss this!!!

Also worth mentioning -  NPR's 'The Record' blog posted an article today
that talks a lot about The Layabout and house shows in general. Gotta love
it when the national press highlights the FUN stuff happening here in
Durham!!! http://n.pr/hdpV9M
