Last week I had the chance to interview the guys from Hooray For Earth before they played at Cats Cradle in Carrboro alongside The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Surfer Blood (for a full run down of the show make sure to check out the post detailing the show here). We discussed their latest EP entitled Momo, future plans for a full length, how they all met each other, how they got the name Hooray for Earth, and much more. Below I have put the interview in its entirety so enjoy!

North Carolina natives The Avett Brothers have announced a show at the Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion on October 8, 2010. The public on sale for The Avett Brothers concert on Friday, October 8 at Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion in Raleigh has changed to Friday, June 25 at 10 a.m., but WKNC has them now. Just be the correct caller when the DJ asks for it and you could win tickets to the show! Tickets will be on sale at LiveNation.com, the Hardee’s Thickburger Box Office, Ticketmaster, or charge by phone 800-745-3000 beginning Friday.
This week on WKNC, we’re giving you tons of free stuff, or schwag (as DJ MollyPop says). We’re giving away mega CDs, such as:
We’re also giving away tickets to Brooks Woods’ Band on June 26 at the Pour House, and tickets to MC Chris at Cat’s Cradle on June 26. Stay tuned this week, for these giveaways as well as others!
1. Matt & Kim have announced a massive tour with a show in Carborro at Cats Cradle in October. The duo plans on returning to the area after the band plays several festivals and shows including Lollapalooza.(via Pitchfork)
2. Justin Vernon, more commonly known as Bon Iver, is set to play alongside Megafaun at the Hayti Heritage Center in Durham this September. The two acts will collaborate for three nights, and the two plan on holding several conversations at Duke and the surrounding area the week of September 13. (via Triangle Music)
3. Interpol has signed back to Matador records. After releasing their 2007 album Our Love to Admire on Capitol, the band is set to release their album this year on their old record label. (via Paste)
4. Klaxons, who haven’t made much noise in the music world since their debut album in 2007, have announced plans to release their sophomore album this fall. The album is entitled Surfing the Void and contains one of the most interesting album covers in recent memory. (via Pitchfork)
5. Dave Sitek is set to record an album alongside Karen O, and it will be released in August. The album is set to have a more dance based feeling. Sitek told NME, “I had total freedom when I was making this record, so when I was recording it, it felt like I was putting everything into one basket and letting it float off into space.” (via NME)

Come down to WKNC and Tir Na Nog’s Local Beer Local Band Night on Thursday, June 24 to see Trekky Records’ Embarrassing Fruits, Charlotte natives Yardwork, and Raleigh’s Whatever Brains! The show is FREE! Starts at 9:30 p.m. Plus, there are mighty yummy local beers on tap. I think I will hit up Big Boss Diablo this Thursday…
EMBARRASSING FRUITS
http://www.myspace.com/embarrassingfruitsband
“Over a breezy melody, lazily strummed chords and cymbal splashes, frontman Joe Norkus recounts fond memories of poolside dances and conversations about coffee with the girl he’s met on the corner. When lightning hits their town and Jesus Christ comes down for a visit, the people scatter—except for Norkus and his summer affection. Hell, they’re even making babies while the town burns.”
—Spencer Griffith, Independent Weekly

YARDWORK
http://www.myspace.com/yardworknc
Yardwork is a sick band hailing from Charlotte, NC. Listening to them while I write this blog, I’d say they are wonderful, catchy and happy, songs to rock to. A friend of mine is buddies with the band, so of course all of us are going to be there!
WHATEVER BRAINS
http://www.myspace.com/whateverbrains
Whatever Brains is loud. So loud and so awesome. They have real talent turned up as high as the volume knob can go. If they have T-Shirts for sale at the nOg, I recommend the hamburger one.
“Whatever Brains is, allegedly, a punk band gobbing guitar fuzz on songs paced like they were penned by a kid with ADHD and no meds.” –Independent Weekly
