americana revue at the station: sst and steph stewart
I’d missed the last two Americana Revues at the Station, their second Thursday of the month residencies for bands — Sinful Savage Tigers took over for the Magnolia Collective last November, and in both December and January I had elsewhere jobs that kept me from being there. Last night’s Cradle show, however, started early and…
sugar & the hi-lows @ cat’s cradle
Oh, man, you guys — this show was a whim. I dug Trent Dabbs’ album Southerner, and when I read about his new project with Amy Stroup, described as “old-fashioned garage stomp”, I was sold without hearing a song. The lovely Monica at Think Press was nice enough to put me on the list for…
samantha crain @ local 506
It’s been a few years since I’ve seen Samantha Crain; in that time, she’s turned over her whole band and released both a new album and a brand new 7″, but she’s no less of a great songwriter and a stunning stage presence — I often wonder how a voice that big comes from a…

dr dog — be the void
Dr Dog — Be The Void. Out 2/7, Anti- Records. I spent most of the weekend thinking about what I wanted to say about Dr. Dog’s fifth full length LP, Be The Void. I have listened to it a dozen times since getting a copy for review, and I understand that I love it unconditionally,…

Don’t Be Literary, Darling (Sasha Moorsom) Don’t be literary, darling, don’t be literary If you’re James in the morning you’re Hemingway in bed Don’t talk of yourself in the style of your own obituary – For who cares what they say of you after you’re dead. Don’t be always a thought ahead and a move…
bad machine tour: lydia loveless & scott h. biram
shep. and I used to drive around the Southeast a lot, going to see our favorite bands play places other than the Triangle. We do it less now because we’re older, and gas is more expensive, and frankly, mostly the old thing: four years ago that four hour drive home from Norfolk at 2 am…
liturgy @ duke coffeehouse
To say that metal of any variety is not in my wheelhouse is an understatement; I don’t even mostly understand metal music, because I have a really hard time finding the lines in it. So I agreed to go see Liturgy at Duke Coffeehouse with Louis with a little trepidation. It could be great, it…
