Bombadil, like Josh Ritter, is a band that performs with such a sense of sheer joy at what they do — it radiates from the stage and infects the audience, who gives it back to him. Last night at the Cradle, there was a moment where I was standing in the crow’s nest, shooting the…

spider bags @ all day records
Spider Bags’ new record, Shake My Head, is fucking kickass, and they sounded great at All Day yesterday. One of my hands down favorite local bands these days. Full set is here. The shutter on Six, my beloved workhorse D60, gave up the ghost yesterday mid-set, so I have a D80 winging her way to…
the mynabirds @ local 506
hat an amazing show. Laura Burhenn has the most phenomenal stage presence, and that voice. The 506 felt electric all night, from Raleigh’s The Design’s wild opening set to Sean Bones’ funky guitar pop to the Mynabirds’ stellar, roof-raising, wall-shaking set. Blew my mind. Full set here.
first house show at the FARM!
My friend Elysse and her roommate Colie threw themselves an amazing graduation party at the farm that Colie’s boyfriend Leland lives on; it was a gorgeous space and the bands were fantastic and the company was great. I am completely enamored of the Farm and shall be doing all my photo shoots there from now…
red collar cd release party for ‘welcome home’
I’ve been pretty lousy, over the last six weeks or so, at making it out to see local shows, which is generally something I pride myself on; mostly, because I’ve been broke and not able to cough up the five or ten bucks for door. Luckily, I bought a ticket to see Red Collar at…
sinful savage tigers @ the station
If you didn’t stay til the bitter end of this great show, you missed me bullying Josh Moore and SST into covering ‘The Weight’ for me. They killed it, and I am terrifically bossy. Sinful Savage Tigers’ last Americana Revue … the Station better get somebody as good as SST and predecessors Magnolia Collective to…
future kings of nowhere @ local 506
What a gorgeous, triumphant show. Full of people I love, and people loved by people I love, and indie pop punk and songs about the Jonestown Massacre and Missouri and Texas and Pirates and accidentally murdering people. The definition of the best kind of local show; the best kind of show. Full set here.
across tundras @ the cave
Continued my metal education by dragging Louis to see Nashville’s self-described psych rockers Across Tundras and local sludge rockers Bitter Resolve. I really dug on Bitter Resolve’s set, and can no longer say as a whole that I dislike metal. I still find metal fairly inexplicable, because I would never say, hey, I want to…
wylie hunter & the cazadores — someone you used to know
Wylie Hunter & the Cazadores — Someone You Used To Know. Out 3/31 with a release show at Local 506, Chapel Hill, NC. 9PM with Onward, Soldiers and the Tomahawks. Based on my could-I-borrow-a-PA test, I probably shouldn’t write about the full-length debut from Wylie Hunter and his merry band of Cazadores, since they’d all…
make
This is a blurry photo of a CD, poorly white-balanced and not quite in focus, but it’s important because under those words and that disc, it’s my photo on the inside of Wylie Hunter & the Cazadores’ upcoming full-length. One of the shots that we took at CD Alley back in January. It’s on my…
