There are SIX shows on Monday. THREE of them are in DURHAM. This seems like kind of a bad idea.


Wednesday, April 20
Hope for a Golden Summer (http://www.hopeforagoldensummer.com/)
The Tender Fruit (http://www.myspace.com/thetenderfruit)
Phil Cook and his Feat
The Pinhook, Durham

Phil Cook is the Megafaun Cook brother who *didn't* just get a giant Steal Yr Face tattoo. His Feat are his one-man-band project. The Tender Fruit make some of the most beautiful southern gothic country/folk tunes you'll ever hear.
