Future Islands (http://www.myspace.com/futureislands)
Motor Skills (http://www.myspace.com/motorskillsmyspace)
James C.Wallace Parking Deck Plaza, Chapel Hill

This is an outdoor concert series put on by the town of Chapel Hill.
Future Islands shows are notoriously sweaty affairs anyway, so why not
an outdoor early-evening show in the middle of August?

This is the annual Music for Fences fundraiser for the Coalition to

chained up in a backyard? They approach the owners & offer to fence in
the yard so the dog can come off the chain & have room to move freely.

And yes, these are some good bands, too.

Why Are We Building Such a Big Ship?
(http://www.myspace.com/whyarewebuildingsuchabigship)
Lonnie Walker (http://www.myspace.com/lonniewalker)
The Pinhook, Durham

Pinhook says of O'Death: "A spooky, intense blast of noisy, unhinged
Americana filtered through an post-industrial, science fiction lens.
The sound of fiddles and banjos clash with clattering percussion to
create a woozy, surreal barroom sprawl that is equal parts wild west
and no-future. Touring through town after a stunning performance at
the Pitchfork Festival."
