I have — well, not slacked, but I have seen far fewer shows this year than I did last year, and I have definitely missed a lot of homecoming, release, celebration shows by people I love that I wish I hadn’t. Unfortunately, concert photography is a calling that wars with my anxiety and depression, and I’ve…

new track from lost in the trees
Yesterday NPR debuted the first track from Chapel Hill’s own Lost in the Trees, off their upcoming second album for Anti- Records, A Church That Fits Our Needs, due out 3/20. (Happy birthday to me.) The track is “Red”, and you can hear it here. LITT has been gaining buzz and admirers since Anti- re-released…
the sea & cake @ local 506
Friday’s show at the 506 was a lovely evening full of jangly indie rock from the Sea & Cake and Butterflies, and absolutely staggering dreamy instrumental post-rock from Chicago’s Brokeback. Warm and comforting in the best way. Full set here.
trkfest 2011!
More behind the jump, and the rest here.
trekky records christmas at the cradle 2010
At some point I will give up trying to explain why the scene here is so amazing, so valuable to me; at some point, I promise I will. But then there are shows like last night, where I end up laughing my head off and wailing “But I don’t understand what’s going ooooooooon” and enveloped…
lost in the trees @ motorco music hall
so surround yourself with good people i know it’s painful but we can stand.
for all those with broken hearts
Lost in the Trees wraps up their incredibly (and well-deservedly) successful 2010 with a show at Motorco Music Hall in Durham tonight; locals Veelee and (LITT’s Trekky labelmates) Butterflies open. 9PM, $15 at the door. This week, the Indy gives Ari some equally well-deserved local loving and the Anti- reissue of All Alone In An Empty House is…
auxiliary house @ nightlight
Everybody knows that I’m stupidly fond of all the Trekky Records kids, and it’s a damn shame that in the years I’ve been going to see their bands and their excellent shows, festivals, and holiday extravaganzas, I’d never actually seen Trekky super-group/whoever’s not on tour/house band, Auxiliary House, before last night. Aux House seems to…
trekky records day-dream day party
There are definitely things that I’m sorry to have missed about Hopscotch; anything that big happens, something is bound to happen that you’re sorry to miss. But I got my money’s worth — ie just the cost of drinks — and far far more, at Trekky’s Day-Dream day party. The Triangle has a host of…
hopscotch day parties: trekky day-dream
I’m not attending this weekend’s on-going and much-hyped Hopscotch Festival in Raleigh for a variety of reasons — most notably timing; next weekend is Bristol Rhythm & Roots and I’m too old to do back to back festivals like that — but I can assure you that I will be attending Trekky Records’ Hopscotch day…
