Come down to WKNC and Tir Na Nog’s Local Beer Local Band Night on Thursday, June 24 to see Trekky Records’ Embarrassing Fruits, Charlotte natives Yardwork, and Raleigh’s Whatever Brains! The show is FREE! Starts at 9:30 p.m. Plus, there are mighty yummy local beers on tap. I think I will hit up Big Boss Diablo this Thursday…
EMBARRASSING FRUITS

“Over a breezy melody, lazily strummed chords and cymbal splashes, frontman Joe Norkus recounts fond memories of poolside dances and conversations about coffee with the girl he’s met on the corner. When lightning hits their town and Jesus Christ comes down for a visit, the people scatter—except for Norkus and his summer affection. Hell, they’re even making babies while the town burns.”

YARDWORK

Yardwork is a sick band hailing from Charlotte, NC. Listening to them while I write this blog, I’d say they are wonderful, catchy and happy, songs to rock to. A friend of mine is buddies with the band, so of course all of us are going to be there!
WHATEVER BRAINS

Whatever Brains is loud. So loud and so awesome. They have real talent turned up as high as the volume knob can go. If they have T-Shirts for sale at the nOg, I recommend the hamburger one.
“Whatever Brains is, allegedly, a punk band gobbing guitar fuzz on songs paced like they were penned by a kid with ADHD and no meds.” –Independent Weekly
