Locals Only! or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love Local Music

Locals Only! returns for its sixth installment just in time to help you get into the holiday spirit. Bundle up and head over to Neptunes this Thursday, December 12th for a rock-fueled extravaganza that is sure to wipe away all of your winter blues. Remember that doors open at 8 PM sharp with free admission for anyone 21+

Electric Lady Man

Our first act for the evening is Electric Lady Man, a hard rock group hailing from right here in Raleigh. The group’s musical stylings are self-described as “heavy, absurd and gleefully irate” and I couldn’t think of a more apt description if I tried.

Their most recently released EP “Wired” calls to mind a classic hard rock sound with its bouncy instrumentation that energizes you like an adrenaline shot to the heart. Along with its fun instrumentation, vocalists Chris Pilione and Steve Graham are certain to get your blood pumping with their hard-hitting performances.

Favorite Track: Rally!

Booster Club

Our second act for the evening is Booster Club, a Raleigh based alternative rock band formed in 2021. Despite their relatively recent foray into music, Booster Club already has an impressive three EPs under their belt with their most recent outing “Year Of The Draggin'” coming out earlier this year.

“Year Of The Draggin'” is chock full of fun and lively instrumentation that would sound right at home with the art rock classics of our time. It wears its classic influences proudly on its sleeve while still offering something new and fresh to the scene.

Favorite Track: Delphina

Closing Thoughts

Although this year is quickly drawing to a close, the future of Raleigh’s music scene is bright as ever and I cannot wait to explore more of it through Locals Only! each and every month. Remember to stay warm and as always, I hope to see you there this Thursday, December 12th!
