Local Beat recap 5/29/09

Last Friday we had a Local Beat that illustrates just how many different things are going on in the Triangle at any given time.

At 5:00, rock orchestra Easy Company joined us to talk a little about who they are, what influences them, and what to expect at their show Saturday, June 6, at the Halle Cultural Arts Theatre in Apex, NC.  They also performed (as a mere 9-piece) 2 songs in the studio. Check it out below.

After that, DJ Cioffi took his first spin at manning the Local Beat to interview long-time local band Pivot , who is playing at the Brewery this Friday, June 5th.  They had quite a bit to say about their new album and so forth, as is evident below. Check it out:

Lastly, DJ Mikey (who moonlights as DJ Wobble Wobble) chatted with Brian of Lonnie Walker about their new album, These Times Old Times (out on Terpsikhore Records), as well as their CD Release Show/Party.  As you have probably heard, they played at Schoolkids Records on Hillsborough Street and then moved to Adam Peele 's warehouse for another show and a party late night.  Check out what they had to say about the album, the label, touring, and songwriting below.
