Cool shows this weekend


If you live in Raleigh, it's time to get out of town for the weekend. I plan on going to the Warhol Party at Bickett on Friday, seeing the Ex-Members on Saturday, and probably Thunderlip on Thursday.

Thursday Thunderlip @ the RESERVOIR, Chapel Hill N.C.
W/ Collosus, BLACK SKIES,

Friday
  • Warhol Party at Bickett (see above)

  • Night Prowler, Bon Scott-era AC/DC tribute at Volume 11


  • BLowOut on Broad St. Punk Fest (6:00pm-1:00am) (descriptions from Kim)
    Description:

    Antagonizers
    (www.myspace.com/antagonizers)
    catchy sing along choruses with rocknroll over tones. Plenty of back ups through and through.At times you'll smile and wanna hold your beer high, at others you'll wanna grin and let your fists fly.
    ---------------
    Blood Red River
    www.myspace.com/bloodredriver 60's style surf/skate music. This band will bing you back in time with a unique yet familiar sound.
    ---------------
    Simple Assault (www.myspace.com/simpleassault)
    Home grown hardcore…..with bongos. Must see
    ---------------
    Dead to Society
    (www.myspace.com/deadtosociety101)
    Dead To Society just formed recently and hails from Durham, North Carolina. They shared a dream to bring back the old school sound of punk rock and hardcore. And in my opinion, that's exactly what they are doing.
    ---------------
    The Black Sheep (www.myspace.com/anuphillbattle)
    Real punk music that will put you back into the mosh pit
    ---------------
    Mother Vinegar (www.myspace.com/mothervinegar)
    Mother Vinegar original sound has been described as "Tom Waits and Ravi Shankar being assaulted by Joe Satriani and Gibby Haynes." Mother Vinegar is a four-piece rock band whose intense rock sound will move you.

    Beloved Binge, Wigg Report, and Ex-Members @ 305 South

    The Wigg Report and Beloved Binge are 2 very quirky bands. The Hatchet described the Binge as "An acquired taste, like tzatziki sauce." They have improved over the last few weeks.

    Regarding the statement, 'they have improved over the last few weeks.' Let me clarify, in my opinion their music is sounding much more defined and cohesive.

    Beloved Binge aptly describes their sounds as- "Rubble pop rooted in punk pot infused with a hint of old Greek mountain village uprising."

    In any event, people should come out and meet them. They are truly supportive of the community and are the nicest people ever. Eleni Binge was one of the organizers of Duo-Fest that took place in Durham last weekend.

    Also I think Powdercake was added to the Broadstreet bill.

    Cool.
