Raleigh horror-rock gear-grinders NINE FINGERED THUG crunch like a Birthday
Party fronted by Irene Moon's voice-modulated old-man crankings. Led by Gate
City songwriter Mark Dougherty, The LAKE ISLE will arise and go now, lifting
their Joey Burns/Mark Kozelek-style hushed Southwestern songs through the
rarefied desert air and into spaced-out rock territory.

GSO Afrobeat fusion workhorse BRAND NEW LIFE has been honing its craft on
the Summer Festival circuit and returns to the Nightlight for another
exciting night of trans-continental ecstatic dance grooving! BIG FAT GAP
needs no introduction, as the local top-shelf bluegrass combo has played
every major stage in the Triangle. It'll be a real treat to get to see them
in the Nightlight's intimate setting. Asheville's Jonathan Scales returns to
the NL with his steelpan jazz group that continues the tradition of world

*Thurs 09/01* Clay
Pigeons<http://www.nightlightclub.com/www.claypigeonsband.com>/Gods of
Harvest<http://www.godsofharvest.com/>(Raleigh) / Bad
Mr. Viswas <http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bad-Mr-Viswas/136588399723772> ::
9:30 PM :: $5

A couple of Raleigh troupes invade Chapel Hill as CLAY PIGEONS and GODS OF
HARVEST take the Dan K. Moore Freeway over to Orange County for a night of
twangin' and poppin'.

CLAY PIGEONS are a bunch of Stanly County transplants that play an
acoustic-heavy Americana that's got Ryan Adams heartache and John Cougar
singalongs, often in the same song. GODS OF HARVEST rock a harmony-laden
guitar pop that gets heads nodding and hearts swooning.

Raleigh-Chapel Hill-based organ soul from BAD MR. VISWAS opens the night.

*FRI 09/02* SUPREME FICTION <http://www.myspace.com/supremefiction> !! :: 10
PM :: more bands tba...

Local soul-loving indie rockers SUPREME FICTION get the party going tonight

*Sat 09/03* Ill Family <http://www.myspace.com/theillfamily> / Lobo
Marino<http://www.myspace.com/keepyourheaduplobomarino>:: 9:30 PM ::
$5

Chapel Hill psych-rockers ILL FAMILY mine Nuggets-era sounds for a full-on
Highs-in-the-Mid-60s vibe: California breezes, Garcia lead swirls, Roger
McGuinn Rick'd-out guitar chimes, drawlin' "hey ya'll vocals" that signal a
sort of "even though the music's fast, we ain't in no kind of hurry to end
this party" mentality. Songwriter Ryan Hill has a hand for garage rock
jumpers but a mind for dark introspections, like a CCR "Effigy" melted into
a "Cortez the Killer" spilling into the stuff Van Morrison was doing with
THEM in 1965. Virginia's LOBO MARINO heads down as well, bringing their
rough-hewn, psych-kissed Appalachian folk.

more info tba..

*HORSEBACK (Relapse/ Utech)*
Jenks Miller’s psychedelic metal / drone project, Horseback described as a
vibrant and kaleidoscopic journey toward a manic, inevitable nirvana. Rare
live performances not to be missed!
*
THE ATLAS MOTH (Profound Lore)*
"Hailing from Chicago, The Atlas Moth take their bluesy hometown roots and
combine that with New Orleans style sludge & 60s psychedelic. Gritty and
raw, yet thought out and insightful. If you grew up living in a swamp,
wearing a Black Sabbath T-Shirt, and eating nothing but fried chicken, this
is your band."

*DICKKICKER*
Stoner Metal trio from Tallahassee, FL touring in support of their EP,
Somniloquent.

*KEN MODE (Profound Lore)*
"This is how I know KEN Mode rule: I saw them play a virtually empty bar
about five years ago and still remember that gig like it was yesterday. In
this day and age, when half of what hits the stage when I decide to part
with my precious time and leave the house doesn’t even register, this is a
triumph-and-a-half. ...Not only do they sound like a raging beast wired on
the up-tempo bits 'n' pieces of Unsane's discography, but in the case of
much of the new material, KEN mode evoke the brutality of Unsane's Total
Destruction and Unsane album covers brought to musical life." - Decibel
Magazine�
