Close Encounters of The Locals Only!

What better way to ring in the New Year than with some spectacular local music? Locals Only! returns this Thursday, January 9th at its usual 8 PM timeslot at Neptunes in Raleigh. As always, admission is free for anyone 21+! We have an extra special line up this month so without further ado, lets go ahead and introduce them!

Bedrumor

Hailing from Greenville, this duo has made quite a name for themselves on social media for their intimate covers of popular songs, ranking in almost 3 million likes on their TikTok account alone.

However, their cover roots are only the tip of the iceberg for this group, as their jazz-influenced instrumentation and vocals have recently led to the release of their debut original single “Mother’s Hand.”

The song itself takes all of the best parts of their stripped back covers and charges it with a very palpable melancholy that sticks with you long after you finish listening. Although the duo only has one original track under their belt for the time being, I am very excited to see how their musical style evolves given their very promising start!

Favorite Track: Mother’s Hand

Newspaper Taxis

Hailing right here from Raleigh, Newspaper Taxis have made quite a name for themselves over the past three years they have been active in the Triangle music scene.

By their own admission, Newspaper Taxis’ music defies a singular categorization. As they describe their sound, their music is “A bit of British Invasion, a dash of post-punk, and a little power pop” that all comes together to make a very exciting musical cocktail.

The band has two albums under their belt, with their most recent being something we here at WKNC are always fond of, a live album! Although it didn’t quite beat out one of their other offerings for my favorite track, the live recording of Your Cowboy shows off lead vocalist Ben Armstrong’s crooning vocals mixed with some tastefully retro instrumentation that Locals Only! attendees are sure to enjoy.

Favorite Track: Digging A Hole

Closing Thoughts

If this Locals Only! lineup is any indication, the future looks bright for North Carolina’s blossoming music scene as this night is sure to have something for everyone. As always, doors open at 8 PM at Neptunes in Raleigh. I hope to see you there!
