News & Observer music critic David Menconi's random (and we do mean random) musings about all things related to music and culture of the "popular" variety.
Raleigh Undercover: Naming names
Submitted by dmenconi on 01/12/2009 - 14:43
The schedule is coming together for "Raleigh Undercover," which happens Jan. 30-Feb. 1 at Raleigh's Tir Na Nog nightclub. We won't know which bands will be covered until it actually happens, but here are the bands doing the covering:
Jan. 30 -- Embarrassing Fruits, Bright Young Things, Whalewatchers, Left Outlet, Valient Thorr.
Jan. 31 -- I Was Totally Destroying It, Static Minds, The Nevers, The T's, Hearts and Daggers.
Feb. 1 -- Mike Roy, Gray Young, Skillet Gilmore/Marc Smith/Bartholomew Brothers, one more act TBA.
Lots of cool possibilities there, especially Valient Thorr (for whom the obvious choice would be MC5) and I Was Totally Destroying It (love their version of U2's "New Year's Day").
