I got to talk to surf pop heroines DADDY ISSUES from Greensboro, North Carolina on their upcoming projects, Super Smash Bros, and the concept of “the girl band.” They played at the Edge of Urge and Lumina Clothing Grand Opening Block Party later that day, and opened at the sold out T0W3RS LP release show at Kings Barcade a week later.

T0W3RS, GHOSTT BLLONDE, and DADDY ISSUES played a sold out show at Kings Barcade in Raleigh for the release of T0W3RS’ new EP “TL;DR.” The three acts killed it, and the night ended with a few of the band members in T0W3RS covering three Blink-182 songs to top it all off.

EOT153 NC State News and Code+Art 11/4/14                             

Eye on the Triangle is WKNC’s weekly public affairs programming, with news, interviews, opinion, weather, sports, arts, music, events, and issues that matter to NCSU, Raleigh, and the Triangle.  This week on EOT:

There are a number of sources that we at Eye on the Triangle use to find stories to report on our show, and one of the best places we go to is the NC State news website. Contributors Michaela and Nick, in searching for stories to cover, thought that speaking with some of the people who write for NC State News would be interesting, and it proved to be just that. Here’s a bit about some news writers for NC State.

We also have a highlight of a very different kind of art contest here at NC State that’s looking to blend coding with creativity to make a lasting impression on passersby in the new Hunt Library. 

We have a highlight of a basketball organization here in Raleigh making a real difference in some children’s lives.

NC State has its own food pantry, called “Feed the Pack.” Guest contributor DJ Trillian has a highlight of the organization.

Listen to all this, plus news beyond the headlines from Sydney and our Community Calendar.

Nick Savage and the EOT crew bring you another edition of “Eye on the Triangle,” live each Tuesday at 7 p.m. on WKNC 88.1 FM and wknc.org/listen and available as a downloadable podcast.
