Venue:

Chaz's Bull City Records

Location:

Durham, North Carolina, United States

Notes:

The shop will be opening special for this one. Swing on out to Bull City Records for a rare Monday appearance next week, as we anxiously welcome Sonic Youth guitarist/songwriter Lee Ranaldo into our space. Sonic Youth was one of the first bands to usher me into the world of non-commercial rock in the early 90s, so I am so beyond honored to have him play the floor. With his new record on Matador Records, Ranaldo continues to push his melodic post-rock into the realms of abstract – though highly infectious – pop. I have been tasked to find three acoustic guitars, so it sounds like it’s going to be a rare acoustic trio performance.

Ranaldo plays as a part of the Duke Performances series the following night with M Ward. He just released a track on Three Lobed Recordings’ limited Record Store Day LP and has another experimental LP coming out with Three Lobed later in the year. Pleae join us this Monday!

Alternative Rock, Avant-Garde, Experimental, Indie, No Wave, Noise, Noise Rock, Rock, Spoken Word, and United States.
