Thursday, March 31
Shelley Short (http://www.myspace.com/shelleyshort)
Darren Hanlon (http://www.darrenhanlon.com)
The Casbah, Durham

This is the inaugural show in the Casbah's "House Concert Series," meaning it'll take place in the more intimate front bar area, and be completely unamplified.



Thursday, March 31
Cantwell, Gomez, Jordan (http://www.cantwellgomezandjordan.com)
Goodbye, Titan (http://www.myspace.com/loudestsilenceever)
Gifts From Enola (http://www.myspace.com/giftsfromenola)
Motorco Music Hall, Durham

Always excited to get to see Cantwell Gomez & Jordan, and though I'd gladly pay, it's nice that it's a free show to boot.



Thursday, March 31
JP and the Gilberts (http://jpandthegilberts.com/)
The Pinhook, Durham



Thursday, March 31
Jacquelyn Lee (http://www.myspace.com/jacquelynleeee)
Paper Ibis (http://www.myspace.com/paperibis)
Roommate (http://www.myspace.com/roommate)
Holygrailers (http://www.myspace.com/holydub)
Nightlight, Chapel Hill

The one time I saw Jacquelyn Lee it was an adorable under-rehearsed mess with flashes of total brilliance. She claimed at some point that she'd stopped writing music and a little part of me died. Still hope it wasn't true.

Banjo or Freakout (http://www.myspace.com/banjoorfreakout)

Friday, April 1
Savage Knights (http://www.retroactivedynamics.com)
Ezekiel Graves (http://www.myspace.com/ezekielgraves)
Marsh Woodwinds, Raleigh

Savage Knights are one of the slightly more "rock"-oriented of Crowmeat Bob's many ensembles.



Friday, April 1
Billy Sugarfix (http://www.soundclick.com/bands/8/billysugarfix.htm)
Wigg Report (http://www.reverbnation.com/thewiggreport)
Jeffrey Lewis (http://www.thejeffreylewissite.com)
Duke Coffeehouse, Durham

Jeffrey Lewis is some kind of antifolk big-shot, I guess, maybe. I dunno. Doesn't really matter to me either way, inasmuch as I'd go just about anywhere to see the Wigg Report, regardless of who else was playing.



Friday, April 1
Midtown Dickens (http://www.myspace.com/midtowndickens)
Hammer No More the Fingers (http://www.hnmtf.com)
LiLa (http://www.myspace.com/elijlamusic)
Motorco Music Hall, Durham

This is the CD-release party for the brand new Hammer No More the Fingers CD, "Black Shark," their second. I had time the other day to listen to exactly one song from it, and it was a doozy.



Friday, April 1

Soft Company (http://www.myspace.com/softcompany)
Towers (http://towers.bandcamp.com/)
K. Heasley (http://www.myspace.com/kheasley)
Kings, Raleigh

So apparently (according to some parentheses I saw) K Healey was in the Lilys? Maybe I'm supposed to remember what they sounded like?

But I don't. Doesn't matter, though, because between the post-Roxy weirdo artpop of Soft Company and the post-MagFields synthy mope-pop of Fan Modine, you've got a full slate of awesome already.

Eugene Chadbourne (http://www.eugenechadbourne.com/)
Tatsuya Nakatani (http://www.hhproduction.org/TATSUYA_NAKATANI_WORKS.html)

Eugene Chadbourne is a national treasure, one of the few artists to really explore all the nooks and crannies & commonalities between the two great American musical forms, Jazz & Country+Western music.
