WKNC 88.1 FM - North Carolina State University Student RadioJoule Coffee, located on 223 S. Wilmington St. in Raleigh, will be featuring two drink specials (for those of age, of course) in honor of Double Barrel Benefit 11.
The first is called The Double Barrel. It has Luxardo Fernet, Bourbon, Cold Brew Coffee concentrate, and cream.
The second is called the Heart to Tell. It includes Cardamaro, Blanco Tequila, Gran Marnier, and bruleed lemon juice.
WKNC is delighted to be the primary media sponsor for this year’s Phuzz Phest- Winston-Salem’s premiere annual music festival. This fourth annual event returns to the City of the Arts & Innovation’s burgeoning downtown area to thousands of music fans across the southeast. This year the festival will span three days from Friday April 4 through Sunday April 6, featuring their most potent and genre-spanning lineup yet with more than 50 musical acts coming from as far away as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Brooklyn and Detroit.
Though far from NC’s largest music festival, Phuzz Phest has built its reputation on keenly curating the region’s best acts for a truly special weekend of music, offering attendees a rare opportunity to see critically-acclaimed artists alongside under-praised locals in settings more intimate than would otherwise be possible.
The 2014 lineup features headliners like L.A.’s pioneering noise-punk duo No Age, visionary rap legend Kool Keith, hypnotic alt-country songstress Jessica Lea Mayfield, and San Francisco psych-rock stalwarts White Fence. Festival alumni and Merge Records acts Mount Moriah & The Love Language make return appearances alongside Ex Hex, the new project of Mary Timony (Wild Flag, Autoclave, Helium) whose debut record is due in March via Merge Records.

T0W3RS is a crazy infectious band based out of Carrboro. They blend driving indie rock guitars with spacious electronic hooks and catchy melody lines. Led by Derek Torres, the band has enlisted many different musicians from across the Triangle over the past couple years. Torres spent last year working on his latest effort “TL;DR” due out sometime this year.
Torres stopped by the other day for an interview and to premiere some new tracks off the forthcoming full-length in our Lounge. "The Situation" is the lead single off the album and if it is any indication of the rest of the effort, this album should be on top of some local “Best of” lists this year. Check out his performance in The Lounge above and get ready to get down with him this Friday, February 7th at Cat’s Cradle for Night 1 of Double Barrel Benefit 11!
