Thursday night, American Aquarium with Wylie Hunter & the Cazadores and Stella Lively — a lovely evening full of bands made up of people I am inordinately fond of. I love the Thrill, I love our scene, I love the people I know, and I love the shit out of music. Full set here.

onward soldiers @ festifall
I have this theory that the reason the Triangle music scene continues to proliferate as it does, with both tons of bands and tons of good bands, is because for 30 years parents have taken their small children to see excellent local bands play at free street festivals, so 30 years of small children have…
carrboro music festival: sinful savage tigers
Love these guys so much. Cannot wait for their full-length release; 10/22 at the Station, 10PM, with Phil Cook & his Feat. Be there. Or miss the revels.

locally grown: future islands @ wallace plaza
I like wild electronic noise, and both Future Islands (top two) and Motor Skills (bottom two) do that very, very well.

chatham county line @ cat’s cradle
Chatham County Line sounded so fantastic last night; intense and joyous and fierce. They remain one of my favorite live acts to see, and it was a pleasure to get to shoot them so up close and personal. (Muchas gracias to Dave and to Dan Dan The Taping Man for the ticket.) Justin Robinson &…
the lusitania @ motorco music hall
First up, an open letter: dear the Lusitania, I am really, really sorry that y’all had such a shitass time with the sound at your show last night, because playing at Motorco is usually way way way more fun than you guys had. If it helps, and it probably doesn’t, you sounded fantastic from where…
onward soldiers @ nightlight
On the face, this was a strange line-up: Wilmington’s sharp Americana-pop songwriters Onward, Soldiers, with the Triangle’s rockers Effingham and garage-psych trio the Pneurotics, but you know what? It did. Effingham’s Jeremy Blair writes songs with a hook and a pop sensibility if not necessarily a pop sound, and with the collaboration of Magnolia Collective…
locally grown: holy ghost tent revival
