| Show of the Week: Wavves @ Kings Barcade Sunday April 14 |
Lonnie Walker w/ Oulipo @ Harris Field on NCSU Campus in Raleigh, NC
Free
When you combine WKNC, Lonnie Walker, Oulipo and free food there is literally no way to lose. While the event will most likely have to be moved to the Wolves Den at Talley Student Center due to the impending doom of a thunderstorm, that will make no difference in how wonderful this show will be. I've been waiting for what feels like ages to see Lonnie Walker once again, and from what I've heard their return at Kings was something truly special. Combine the long awaited return of Lonnie Walker with the exciting live act of Oulipo and you've got a recipe for a fantastic experience. Oh, did I mention it's free?
Mount Moriah w/ Mac McCaughan & Airstrip @ Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC
$10 in advance/$12 at the door
On the heels of a fantastic sophomore full-length, Mount Moriah will be playing a massive show at Cat's Cradle on Friday. Joined by Mac McCaughan of Superchunk and the booming indie rock of Aitstrip, it's going to be a night filled with exciting music from diverse acts. Miracle Temple was an album that displayed dynamic growth for Mount Moriah, getting to see these new tracks live will be a fantastic live experience. Mount Moriah's shows are so special because Heather McEntire's vocals just ooze with passion. Her voice is commanding, so much that it's hard not to focus all of your attention on the visceral live show that you're experiencing. There's some shows where you'll find disenfranchised concert goers glued to cell phones and chatting amongst themselves, but Mount Moriah compels you to put down those phones and connect with their powerful songs. That's what makes their shows show special, their ability to connect with the crowd through sheer talent.
