More photos behind the jump. Kudos as usual to the Trekky kids, especially Will, Martin and Emma, who once again ran a fantastic festival.

roadside graves @ the nightlight, june 2010
and i don’t know whose baby you are The Roadside Graves, a fantastic Jersey band who released my favorite track of the year — the stunning 7+ minute “Liv Tyler” — on their EP You Won’t Be Happy With Me earlier this spring, are one of three or four bands that are lynchpins of a…
embarrassing fruits @ TRKfest 2009
embarrassing fruits @ TRKfest 2009, originally uploaded by minervacat. TRKFest was a highlight of 2009 for me; tomorrow, after the US soccer game, we’ll do it all over again in 2010. Read about the festival here and then get your butt out to Pittsboro tomorrow to catch the whole thing. I recommend bringing sunscreen, water,…
bowerbirds @ duke gardens
bowerbirds @ duke gardens, originally uploaded by minervacat. Second verse, same as the first — I took this two years ago with my Coolpix, the first time I ever saw Bowerbirds play. One of the few concert shots I took with that camera that I’m still proud of. It rained buckets that night, and they…
langhorne slim @ cat’s cradle
As always, Langhorne Slim’s set at the Cat’s Cradle last night was transcendent. Seriously, one of the best live performers working right now. His live set is never less than 150% stellar. I think I’ve forgotten how to write a post here. I’ll be back soon. Stay put, y’all.
the national @ the lincoln
the national @ the lincoln, originally uploaded by minervacat. Owned the hell out of Ticketmaster this morning, buying tickets for shep., Ash and myself to see the National in Raleigh in October. They won’t let me take my camera into Memorial Auditorium as an audience member, but who knows? I have some projects up my…

american aquarium @ local 506, june ’10, originally uploaded by minervacat. Chapel Hill shouldn’t count as out of town for Raleigh bands, but sometimes it does, and sometimes that means you get mellow sets full of old songs you don’t hear much, and long stories. Sometimes I’m happy to be out of town for Raleigh.

blair @ the cave
blair @ the cave, originally uploaded by minervacat. Blair was excellent. The light at the Cave was, well, cave-like. Crappy light + 1600ISO + 1/10 shutter speed + f1.8 + post-processing = grain in your images like you’re shooting film. Except it’s digital, so you don’t even get the satisfaction of knowing you wrung something…
another one from a musician that hipsters roll their eyes at
local 506 rockin’ eve: hammer no more the fingers, originally uploaded by minervacat. “If for one minute you think you’re better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and…
