Live Reviews / News Live review: Astronautalis

Astronautalis, Sims, Mr. Invisible
The Milestone
March 8, 2011
The Deal: Since I first discovered Astronautalis a few years back, he has been in regular rotation within my music collection and equally a part of my heart. So, when he comes into town, you better believe that I know as soon as he is booked and make plans for the night to have an emotional whirlwind of world rocking. Combined with one of Charlotte's best hip-hop groups and touring with a full band (instead of just his laptop) and Sims of the Doomtree Collective, I knew this time at the Milestone would be dope as hell.

News Lyra Shines gets new name
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Fri, Mar 11, 2011 at 2:19 PM
The Charlotte band formerly known as Lyra Shines has been reformed and renamed. From the band's Facebook page:
The Local Traumatic is a 4 piece indie alternative rock band, who was formed by the former band Lyra Shines. After years of writing song after song, and a few line up changes, Lyra realized they weren't who they felt like they were meant to be. In order to recreate themselves a few things were needed: New Name, New Music, & new mindset. We are very excited for what is to come for this band, and we have much faith in what we are doing. Please come out and support us any chance you get!
