July 16: Nomo with Polynya, Local 506
I don't know anything about Nomo, but Polynya put out an amazing pop album this year. Here's what I had to say about it, along with an .mp3.
July 18: Caltrop CD-release party with The Curtains of Night, Local 506
Amazing heavy band from Chapel Hill. Check out the videos here and here.
July 18: Dropsonic, Slim's
If you missed their May show, you owe it to yourself to see this one. Here's the video I got of them back then.
July 19: The Cartridge Family with Kennebec, Pour House
The Cartridge Family always rocks. Kennebec doesn't play as often as they should, so you should check them out.
July 22: Colossus, Reservoir
Old-school NWOBHM-style metal from Raleigh. Check out the video.
July 26: Avett Brothers, Koka Booth Amphitheatre, Cary
and
Old 97s at Moore Square, Raleigh FREE!
This unfortunate bit of scheduling pits two bands with similar audiences against each other in different cities on the same day. Old 97s have the advantage of being free and within stumbling distance of several bars. And, the Connells, Richard Bacchus & the Luckiest Girls, and The Poonhounds all open. But the Avett Brothers really could not be hotter right now, and this will be a couple of days after the release of their new CD. Avett Brothers start at 7 p.m. with an opener, and Old 97s start at 9:30, so theoretically you might be able to catch most of both.
