*Wed 08/31* Mid-Century Modern - 1950's & 60's Dance Party!! 9:30 PM :: FREE


Mid-Century Modern is the new dance night series from local vinyl nerds and
retro-obsessives *Craig Powell and Montgomery Morris*. Join us for five
hours of tag-team vinyl spinning that mines the wealth of dance jams
recorded from 1950 to 1969! Big hits and obscure gems in the realm of R&B,
garage, rockabilly, Northern Soul, pop, and jazz will keep the party going
into the wee hours. Come on down!

*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> / Hadwynn
/ Having One <http://www.reverbnation.com/hadwynn%20> (members of
Semi-Formal) :: doors at 9 pm, music at 9 :30 pm:: $5.

Local soul-loving indie rockers SUPREME FICTION get the party going tonight
with their dance-ready grooves and sweet melodies.

*Sat 09/03* Ill Family <http://www.myspace.com/theillfamily> / Lobo
Marino<http://www.myspace.com/keepyourheaduplobomarino>/ Fancy
Rat <http://soundcloud.com/fancy-rat/sets/fancy-rat> :: 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.

*Mon 09/05* Monday Night Trivia with Montgomery Morris :: 9-11 PM :: FREE

Stag<http://snatchesofpink.com/stag/>(members of Dex Romweber duo,
Snatches of Pink and Trailer Bride :: 9 PM :
$7

"Wooden Wand is the ongoing project of James Toth. Fresh on the heels of a
tour with the legendary Swans and quite possibly his most critically
acclaimed album to date, Death Seat, out on Young God Records, the new
incarnation of Wooden Wand is a country-tinged, full-blown rock band, backed
by the Gum Creek Killers, which includes members of ex-Verbena and Through
the Sparks. Their debut album Briarwood, due out this fall, was recorded in
primitive country style -- four straight days at Homewood, Alabama’s Ol
Elegante Studios. Touring as an 8-piece band, this will be a rare
opportunity to see James Toth in his new incarnation. Toth has toured with
Swans, Silver Jews, Devendra Banhart, Sonic Youth and has released
recordings on Kill Rock Stars, Rykodisc, Ecstatic Peace!, Three-Lobed,
Troubleman, and more." - Young God

“Wooden Wand's contemporary contributions to songwriting tradition have
produced some great work, but on Death Seat he has excelled himself.” - The
Wire

“His characters are round and puzzling, not just sour. He uses bitterness
not just as a good look but as a method of getting inside his characters.” -
New York Times

*early 09/09* New Art Show Reception by Nicole Stockburger !! :: FREE :: 6-9
PM ::

Nicole Maria Photography:

A nineteen year-old photographer and studio art major from Winston-Salem,
North Carolina, Nicole Stockburger is captivated by the desire to capture
simple beauty and effortless moments through vivid color and peaceful
expression. Her passion began during her junior year of high school when she
took her first black and white film class and has continued to grow since.
After completing a self-motivated 100 Days of Summer project this year
(2011), Nicole has accumulated a substantial portfolio of work and grown
greatly in artistic style and composition. Her images express the lovely
thoughts of a poetic imagination, a quiet, untainted reality of people
amongst the natural world and the two elements gracefully intertwined.

*Fri 09/09* Jillian Lea and Sarah D's Spelling
Bee<http://eventsbyyourfriends.com/>:: doors at 9 PM : starts at 9:30
PM : $3

• Rock out schoolhouse style with music, drinks, snacks, a 3rd Grade Costume
Contest, and, of course, COMPETITIVE SPELLING! •

Do you love back-to-school shopping but have no school to go back to? Bring
‘em to the Bee! We’ll be collecting donations of new and gently-used school
for Crayons2Calculators <http://www.crayons2calculators.org/>!

*Sat 09/10* Gambling the Muse <http://www.myspace.com/gamblingthemuse> /
Drawlstrings <http://www.myspace.com/thedrawlstringsNC> / Salt to
Bitters<http://www.myspace.com/salttobitters>:: 9:30 PM :: $5

It's safe to say there will be some alcohol consumed tonight as two of the
county's most tear-in-your-beer twanged-out combos hosts a troupe of
fellow-travelers from the mountains. Headliners GAMBLING THE MUSE have in
frontman Daniel Snyder a master showman, top-notch singer, and ace
songwriting partner who knows a thing or two about bending notes and
breaking hearts. Boone, NC's DRAWLSTRINGS come down the mountain with their
brand of rowdy Americana that falls somewhere between the Carter Family and
The Clash. Local punk-edged indie-folkers SALT TO BITTERS probably have the
best claim to the malt-beverage marquee as most of Tony Raver's songs come
off like a tenor-voiced American McGowan doing readings of Bukowski or
Behan. Water and aspirin in the morning, y'all.

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
