Music Menu / News Twin Tigers & The Line Up (04/29/2010)

Twin Tigers Here's another Athens, Ga., band descending with layered guitars looping, diving and coming around the bend with a full-on twist. Sure, they gaze at their shoes, but the building crescendos, dropping below the radar just enough to fire up the amps, are quite riveting. The combo's got the moxie to pull threads from their influences – My Bloody Valentine, Ride – and then bring them into new context. Dream noise, indeed. With Dead Confederate and The Spalding Grays. Neighborhood Theatre (Samir Shukla)

The Line Up Say what you want about the current state of hip-hop, but please believe there's a lot of life and energy coming from indie artists working today. Underground hip-hop is alive and well in Charlotte and local staple Ike Turnah has put together a virtual who's who of the underground scene for the The Line Up. You can check out long-time Queen City rappers Big Treal, 20/Twenty, Wolly Vinyl and Black Flag Records, along with other up and comers at The District in Pineville. (Mike McCray)
