Colour Revolt w/ Junior Astronomers, Calormen @ Tremont Music Hall in Charlotte, NC
$10
Colour Revolt is an indie rock band that has gone through quite a few changes since their debut LP with "Plunder, Beg and Curse". They lost all but two of their band members and found themselves having to rebuild, and they successfully did so with their latest record "The Cradle". As Colour Revolt makes their stop through NC, another favorite of mine Junior Astonomers will be opening, as well as Calormen. Be sure to check this out if you're in the area, it's going to be a great high-energy show and an awesome way to keep you going throughout the week.

Night 2:
Lonnie Walkers
Embarrassing Fruits
Fat Camp
Special Guests: Bubbly Mommy Gun
Night two of the Cassingles Boxset Release for Diggup Tapes. Lonnie Walker and Embarrassing Fruits alone on a bill at King's would be a show worth seeing, but once you throw in Fat Camp, Bubbly Mommy Gun, and an excuse to come out and support Diggup Tapes, a great label with a great focus, you've got one hell of a show.
Shipwrecker w/ Fontana, Phil Cook & His Feat @ The Casbah in Durham, NC
$4 adv/$6 at the door
Shipwrecker was a band that I saw at Troika last year that put on a phenomenal live set at The Casbah. Featuring a unique blend of Americana, country, and rock, Shipwrecker brings a great energy and sound to the stage and they'll be sure to get the crowd moving with their incredibly catchy songs. Not to mention you've got Fontana, another band that has itself strongly rooted in the country sound, and Phil Cook of Megafaun opening as well, an always entertaining set.

Another local favorite in Veelee is celebrating their 2nd anniversary of their first live show! Kings brings the weekend to a show with this awesome show, Veelee are a band that have great chemistry on stage and really get you into the performance. Plus you've got Motor Skills, one of the numerous bands that features the members of Old Bricks, with Mike Dillon fronting the band. Oh, and did I mention that rapper Juan Huevos is opening too? Seriously, I don't even know what to say about Juan Huevos' live set other than that you need to see it. NEED TO!
