senses they might as well be the same band.

The Cave, Chapel Hill

Red Collar frontman J Kutchma started playing solo shows while Red Collar
were in the midst of a bit of a slowdown/hiatus, but he eventually couldn't
resist the lure of this region's rich stock of musicians, so he put
together a band. They're releasing an album in 2012 . . . and so is Red
Collar.
