News This sounds backwards...
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 4:17 PM
Pearl Jam has announced that they will remaster the band's debut album, Ten, and release four different versions in March of next year.
Meanwhile, Kiss has announced that they will hit the studio for its first new album in 10 years.
The '70s band has made an extended living off of its classic songs, usually ignorning anything more recent during its live show. So, it comes as a surprise that the band would go back into the studio after the only two original members still in the band - Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley - have both said they have no desire to record a new album.
It'll be interesting to see what they come up with...

Up-and-coming singer Laura Izibor probably isn't on your radar, but she's an artist that should not be overlooked. Some folks have compared her to talents like Alicia Keys and Chrisette Michelle, but the Irish-born Izibor sports an organic, piano-driven sound that's all her own. Come check her out for yourself when she pays a visit to Apostrophe Lounge tonight. Free. 6 p.m. Apostrophe Lounge, 1440 S. Tryon. 704-371-7079.

QC After Dark / News Beards BeCAUSE
Posted By Brittney Cason on Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 6:21 PM
I used to think that having to consistently shave my legs was annoying... but at least we women don’t have to shave our faces. Thus, we need not complain. I’m sorry boys — that sucks for you.
But a group of guys, led by Jared Yerg and Scott Doerr, stopped shaving all together and grew beards — not just because — but for the purpose of raising money for the United Family Services Shelter for Battered Women in Charlotte.
The men jeopardized having an itchy face and getting potato chips stuck in their facial hair for the sake of helping women... proof that although endangered, chivalry is not yet extinct.
Over two months of “manscaping” and fundraising, Beards BeCAUSE raised over $33,000.
And they went out with a bang (as in Bang Bang Salon shaving beards) at their Grand Finale party at Amos' SouthEnd.
