A farewell show of sorts for MagCo, long among my local favorites, as drummer Jon Truesdale and his wife Jo are moving out of the country — a wonderful live goodbye to this lineup of a band that started as a fun covers side project and has produced some of my favorite music in the…

house show: jameson elder & hanna rae
We had a house show. It was a lot of fun, and you should have come. Even more photos on Flickr.
concerts: joanna gruesome @ cat’s cradle backroom
Joanna Gruesome photos are up at Speakers. You can check out the rest, from openers Aye Nako, Kings of Cats, and Museum Mouth, on Flickr.
concerts: slingshot cash @ the speakeasy
Slingshot Cash, latest lineup, played their first show at the Speakeasy in Carrboro last Thursday. They’re sounding damn good these days, and it was a pleasure to hear the way old songs get made new with new contributors, and all the new stuff, as well. You should go see them. Full set here.
concerts: wailin’ storms and creepoid @ cat’s cradle
Saw Wailin’ Storms and Creepoid open for SWIRLIES last week. (SWIRLIES photos up on Speakers.) It was loud and trashy and rattling and great. My ears hurt after, and that was excellent. Full photo set on Flickr.
house show: delicate cutters
Last weekend some lovely folks from Alabama played rock and roll in my living room. You should have come.
concerts: frank turner @ greene street club

concerts: cursive, beach slang, megafauna @ cat’s cradle
Trav is already shaking my life up, in that, on Thursday night at the Cradle, I didn’t just think, This is boring and I hate it of Cursive’s set. I paused, and I listened, and I identified what they were doing with the guitars, and then I thought, this is not boring but it is also…
concerts: the river otters @ steel string brewery
My buddy Robinson, who used to live next door to the Cowboy, has been playing with his new band the River Otters for a while now, but I’m a terrible person who stopped leaving the house for a while. Trav and I went out Saturday night, though, and of course I wasn’t disappointed — the…
concerts: spider bags & las rosas @ the nightlight
A few weeks ago the Cowboy and I went to see Spider Bags, one of our mutual beloved locals. And Spider Bags were great, because they are always great; the power of the band expanded from a trio to a quartet means even louder and even more lines to follow, and it suits the songwriting…
