Real good hip-hop duo from Durham

Toon

City Plaza Shows on sale Friday:

De La Soul (Thursday) $30

I want Tombs. Glenn Branca, too, but mostly Tombs.

I want Swans every year, I think. They should just be the Hopscotch house band (like Shellac with ATP).

Anybody thought about possible Thurston colabs yet? I'm trying to not get giddy over the possibilities.

War on Drugs
Bear In Heaven
Sharon Van Etten

Would be pretty surprised if it wasn't one of these three. WoD is probably the most likely.

I'm pretty sure the "its been a couple years" in the tweet means it will be a band that has played the fest before.

War on Drugs

Official.

Lines be damned.

Both are playing the Fall Line Festival in Richmond that weekend. I wouldn't doubt either getting added. If Hold Steady were added, it would have to be Thursday.

I'm in. My only fear is the day parties. Those start at 12/1-ish.

On that note: I swear I saw Raleigh Little Theatre post something about doing 2 this year, but I can't find it now.

Alexandra Sauser-Monnig has the voice of an angel

Oh damn. Thanks, @summerteeth214! I feel like I saw Zack Mexico at the Dig Up Tapes party, last year. Solar Halos rules. I've been digging that a lot recently. Dave Maynar smoothaseggs NoAge, I'm pretty sure you guys will too.

The two that I know are Avers (drummer from The Head & The Hearts other band) and The Nervous Ticks. Nervous Ticks are pretty garage-y 'ala Oblivions.
