Let me tell you what: take two bands, one whose name is a common verb, and the other whose name is two proper names and the word “people”, and you have two bands that are not the easiest to Google. Try to find information on Brooklyn’s power-techno-pop quartet the Dig, and what you get is…

the new familiars @ the blind tiger, august ’10
shep. and I started going to the Blind Tiger in Greensboro for Holy Ghost Tent Revival, and we kept going for — well, for Holy Ghost and the New Familiars. We made a single ill-advised trip there for another band, but like I said: it was ill-advised. So mostly, we’ve gone to the Blind Tiger…
