At the Cat's Cradle- Southern Culture on the Skids




Southern Culture on the Skids, the Chapel Hill, NC-based band, which is one of our personal favorites, will be performing on home turf when they give a concert at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC, on Dec. 4.

The wild band known for throwing fried chicken and Little Debbie oatmeal pies into audiences will be givint the concert as part of a benefit for the Carrboro Food Pantry. The band will also perform at the Hnadlebar in Greenville, SC, (on Nov. 17), the Visulite Theatre in Charlotte (Dec. 3) and The Soapbox in Wilmington, NC, (Dec. 17).

In other concert news, '80s pop diva gives a concert at The 9:30 Club in Washington, DC, on Nov. 27 at 6:00 p.m. (warning: tickets are $45?!), while the band Railroad Earth, which has a loyal following, plays the same venue on Dec. 10. And, one of our very favorite bands Gogol Bordello performs at The 9:30 Club for a pair of shows on Dec. 30 and Dec. 31.

And, in our hometown of Roanoke, Va., The Kirk Avenue Music Hall hosts Nashville-based rock singer Megan McCormick on Nov. 30 and the Athens, Ga.-based Beatles tribute band Abbey Road Live on Dec. 3. I saw ABL at Cat's Cradle earlier this year; they give an awesome show!

SIDEBAR: Kudos to Prince William as he is now engaged to Kate Middleton, who is also 28. According to the BBC, he proposed to her while the couple was on vacation in Kenya and he gave her Lady Diana's ring (awwww!).

Special Quote of the Day--Happy Bastille Day!




Today, we celebrate Bastill Day, the Fourth of July for France with a quip from French philisopher Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) who was the subject of the documentary film "Derrida."

July 14th is also a day of celebration in Azerbaijan, though we aren't exactly sure why?!:

"Everything is arranged so that it can be this way, that is what is called culture."

SIDEBAR: The Chapel Hill, NC-based rock band Southern Culture on the Skids, who are known for throwing fried chicken and Little Debbie oatmeal pies to the audience, will be playing several dates out West, including a Sept. 3 show at The Echo in L.A. and a Sept. 16 show at The Rhythm Room in Phoenix.
