Naked Gods' second album, "No Jams," does seem to contain a few fewer jams

pronounced southern accent.

The Johnny Folsom 4 (http://www.reverbnation.com/thejohnnyfolsom4)

Steve Howell was the master of the twangy Telecaster in the great Raleigh
country band the Backsliders, back in the '90s. He's still keeping the

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Shovels-and-Rope/169655923048543)
Pour House, Raleigh
American Aquarium are pretty darn popular (and while I can't explain it,
presumably this article in the
Indy<http://www.indyweek.com/indyweek/american-aquarium-the-triangles-premier-road-warriors-might-have-found-their-formula/Content?oid=2715999>
will
be able to). This is a live-album recording session show, so arrive early
if you want your screeches to be memorialized in perpetuity.
Saturday, December 3
Savage Knights (http://www.retroactivedynamics.com)
Yohimbe (http://www.myspace.com/partywithyohimbe)
9 Fingered Thug (http://ninefingeredthug.com/)
Buttfinger
Nightlight, Chapel Hill
Nine Fingered Thug are amazing both for their sheer volume, and for the
astonishing range of fuzzed-out crazy tones Irene Moon is capable of
pulling out of her trashed-out battered electric organ. Definitely best
experienced live, and as close as you can get to her massive amplifier.
Saturday, December 3
Gray Young (http://www.myspace.com/grayyoung)
Slim's, Raleigh
Sunday, December 4
The Bastages (http://www.reverbnation.com/thebastages)
WXDU 88.7 FM, Durham
The Bastages are a bunch of cranky old men who were playing punkrock in
Durham in the mid-80s -- two of them, Danny Hooley and Chris Eubank, were
in the Ugly Americans, certainly the best-known punk/hardcore band from
Durham in the 80s. They've all spent plenty of time in other types of bands
since then, but the lure of 3-chord punkrock is eternal.
4:00 p.m. at 88.7 FM or wxdu.org.
Sunday, December 4
Girls Rock NC (http://www.girlsrocknc.org/)
The Cave, Chapel Hill
This is a showcase of Girls Rock NC teenage bands, I assume. It's in the
early slot, which means around 7:30 or so.
Sunday, December 4

Per the Pinhook's website: "Come celebrate 5 years of edible landscaping in
the Triangle with Bountiful Backyards! This event is a fundraiser to
support a new urban farm project in East Durham. There will be a reception
with appetizers and drink specials from 7-8:30, also a cake walk with
special prizes! Then the music… "

Will I have to drive to Chapel Hill on a Monday night just to get an update
on what's happening with Calico Haunts & their tragically lost/delayed next
album? I loved their last one SO MUCH.

a fairly rare appearance by the space/improv outfit.
Thursday, December 8
Beirut (http://www.beirutband.com/)
Perfume Genius (http://www.matadorrecords.com/perfume_genius/)
Cat's Cradle, Carrboro
Thursday, December 8 - Saturday, December 10
The Great Cover-Up (http://www.kingsbarcade.com)
Kings, Raleigh
Ahh, the Great Cover-Up, that annual fantasia where local bands (or one-off
pickup ensembles) get together to learn 4-5 song sets by one of their
favorite bands. Some folks get into it with costumes & wigs; others
concentrate on pulling off the music. A tiny few manage both. A grand time
is had by all.
