I just received an e-mail about this: Apparently Broad Street Cafe in Durham has a new owner who, at least according to the person who e-mailed me, is dedicated to putting on local shows.
Unfortunately, the owner of Volume 11 Studios in Raleigh is still having trouble getting the proper permit to open his club on Maywood Ave (it's also a recording studio). He's been operating alcohol-free for the past year, which is death to a club, and from what I understand, was recently told to stop having shows until all permits are straightened out. I'm hoping to get the details on this and will report back soon.

Scumfeast zine returns
Those of you who were around in the early '90s may remember the Scumfeast that used to take place at The Caboose in Garner. Organizer Wolf also put out a zine of the same name, which he has now resurrected on Myspace. My more liberal friends will probably get their hackles up over Wolf's political commentary, but stay with him and give him a chance. He knows his stuff about local punk and metal, and his reviews -- particularly the restaurant reviews -- are pretty funny.

The Urban Sophisticates at Cat's Cradle
I missed the third night of the Cover-Up because I was at Cat's Cradle taping a band for a project we're doing at work. The opening band, though, was the one that really blew me away, so I went ahead and got a short video of them. It's amazing to see what I can get with a good camera, but strangely the sound is more distorted than I usually get from my little Nikon. Regardless, I'm thinking it might be time to upgrade to a mini-DV recorder soon.
(Video removed)
Anyway, the band is The Urban Sophisticates, and they're a hip-hop/funk/soul band from Greensboro. Check them out.
