News JJ Grey "cancels" show
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Fri, Oct 22, 2010 at 4:09 PM
If you were at the Visulite Theatre last night, you probably heard or noticed that JJ Grey never made it to the stage...
Apparently, he got food poisoning after sound check yesterday — and we can only hope it wasn't from a local eating establishment.
The good news was that Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights rocked it out for about an hour and then Greyhound took the stage for a set.
It looked like most people in the crowd didn't mind and stuck around for a good while.
Let's hope JJ makes a quick recovery and returns to town soon.

Majeure Timespan — Zombi drummer’s debut uses layers of synthesizers along with drums.

Old 97s The Grand Theatre — Band’s eighth album has upbeat country rock rhythms… not bad.

Thanks to all that came out!

We haven't had a Local Leak for you in a while but today we've got new music from Charlotte MC, Dow Jones.
The Black Flag Records artist and Queen City opening act staple is hard at work on his upcoming EP, Lyrics and Liquor, but dropped off these appetizer tracks for fans who haven't heard anything new from him in a while.
Gotta love local music that doesn't sound local. Enjoy.

New Releases / Videos / News Video: Rapsody's "Honda Accord Music"
Posted By Mike McCray on Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 9:13 PM
Rick Ross has Maybach Music but North Carolina MC, Rapsody, is repping for those of us who can only afford a Honda Accord.
The Raleigh-Durham product dropped a video her single, "Honda Accord Music," directed by Kenneth Price from Price Films and produced by 9th Wonder, which featured a guest appearance by NFL wide receiver and former N.C. State star Torry Holt. What more can be said for this joint other than the chorus, "can't afford Maybach's, I'm an Accord!"
Been there sister.
