Watch out world! Here comes WKNC and Tir Na nOg’s weekly local show! This week we’ve got Aminal and Wylie Hunter & The Cazadores! Show starts at 10 p.m., 21 and up, and FREE!
Aminal
“If pop music is a wild animal, then this Chapel Hill trio’s domesticated it, teaching it to sit up, roll over and lay in their lap. Their songs amble with unhurried grace and purr with ineffable charm. Frontman Patrick O’Neill has a gift for vocal melodies that insinuate themselves into your confidences so completely that, after a couple of listens, you’re ready to buy them a round of drinks. The songs boast a woozy ebb and flow fueled by a vibrant rhythm section that’s capable of unspooling the sound with the measured skill of a master angler loosening and locking his reel.” – Hopscotch Music Festival
Wylie Hunter & the Cazadores
“Chapel Hill-based band… reminiscent of early Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, and Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers… Triangle’s Independent Weekly has said the band’s ‘excitability and wanderlust are worth watching.’”- Taken from the Wylie Hunter & The Cazadores MySpace Page.
Lastly, let me just say that since Mark Connor has become the bookers for the Local Beer Local Band series I have not stopped being impressed by the bands he has brought us. Crystal Bright & The Silver Hand is possibly the most unique and interesting band I’ve seen in a while. Also, last week’s Naked Gods gave such a lively, dance-able show. I cannot wait to see either of these bands again!
**There will be no live interview this week due to the broadcast of a Women’s Basketball game.
