But that doesn't mean we're not giving you more than your daily prescribed dose of local music tonight at 5pm. In fact, we're ODing on it.
At 5:00 Violet Vector & The Lovely Lovelies and Mike Dillon of Gross Ghost will be by to talk about their show next Friday at Slim's.
Then at 6:00 Jeff Crawford and Nick Jaeger of The Tomahawks--and every other band you've ever loved--will be playing some songs and chatting about the MS Open Eye Series. They're playing tomorrow (Saturday 8/1) at the Open Eye Cafe in Carrboro at 8pm (suggested $5 donation to support Zach Terry's MS Ride team).
And last but CERTAINLY not least is The Proclivities, who'll be playing The Pour House Music Hall tonight alongside Modern Skirts and Heypenny. They'll be stopping by right around 7:00.
And of course, in between all the chatter will be your favorite local music--and there's so much good new local music right now it's ridiculous. So tune in at 88.1 FM or wknc.org/listen. No, seriously: do it.
Mike, thanks for putting this post up! Everyone reading this, the money raised at the series goes to the Eastern NC MS Society, and stays right here in the triangle for research, education, as well as improvements on houses (such as wheelchair ramps and modified vehicles), for people with MS who can't afford these items. Our bike team gets credit for raising the money, but the team doesn't keep it, we pass it on to the MS society right after the event takes place.
ReplyDeleteHope to see everyone out at the Open Eye tomorrow night for a great show with the Tomahawks!!
Cheers!
Zach
