Great!
Get your tape recorders ready.
Turn on and tune in to WKNC this Friday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 for the Local Beat with DJ Stevo. He will be speaking with Jay Kutchma and Rusty Sutton about the ongoing Club Is Open Festival, which is taking place this week at various Chapel Hill venues. And, they will also be playing a track from the nearly finished Red Collar full-length album, Pilgrim.
If you're outside of the Triangle but don't want to miss it, you can listen online at http://www.wknc.org/listen.php.
Don't forget that we will be playing at the Cat's Cradle this Saturday evening as part of the festival. We hope to see you there.
Salud!

I can't say I spent much time at the Longbranch, but I did see an
amazing show by Mother's Finest there in 1999.
Avett Brothers sign with American, record with Rick Rubin
Just got this on myspace:
To our dearest fans,
Since we first performed as The Avett Brothers,we have been fortunate enough to find and build a genuine and mutual respect with those who care to listen. It is this kind exchange that champions our music,and allows us the forum to continue on our path,with this work,this art. We believe this to be an appropriate time for a brief update,as we would like for you all to know of the most noteworthy of present developments.
We have recently begun working on a new full length album with Rick Rubin. The recording process has been,and will no doubt continue to be,an experience defined by heightened levels of commitment and conviction. It is our distinct pleasure and honor to be in such fine company as we build and bring this most current chapter of songs to fruition.
With this union has come another,as we have just completed and signed an agreement with American/Columbia Records,the label with whom we will proudly release our next record. It is our sincere hope, in regard to this news,that our ongoing relationship with Ramseur Records is understood. There have been,and will be no hard feelings or abandon-based resentment from either party involved. The Avett and Ramseur camps remain strongly and truthfully connected, both personally and professionally. There has been no change in these matters through this momentous transition.
For all of you who have gone to such great lengths to show your appreciation,we continue in our most sincere efforts to return the sentiment. The music would go nowhere without you. Our hearts and our minds are on the recording of this next album,and we look forward with great anticipation to sharing it with you all. Until then,thank you as always,and we will see you somewhere on that open road...
Sincerely,
The Avett Brothers

Videos from Starmount and The Magic Babies
Not much time to write, but did want to upload these two videos from The Magic Babies and Starmount, both of whom played last night at Tir na nOg. The Magic Babies are Small Faces-style British blues rock, and include Galen and Charles from The Weather. Starmount is the new instrumental band by Greg Elkins (Vanilla Trainwreck). It's kind of countryish (thanks to the pedal-steel guitar) and kind of jazzy (thanks to the stand-up bass and Brian Donohoe's drumming). Ultimately it's something I'd prefer to listen to on a Sunday morning rather than in a crowded club, but it's definitely worth checking out.
