Advance Notice: The Week in Concerts 11/23-29

Reasons to get out of your house and into the mix.

Mon – 11/23

  • Flicker: Attack of the 50 ft. Reels Film Fest @ Cat’s Cradle – Come on down to the Cradle Monday night to lay your eyes on some homespun celluloid brought to you from filmmakers around the triangle. The only requirements for submission are that the films originate on film (super 8, 16, or 35 mm) and they must be less then 15 minutes long; the only requirements for entry, open eyes and $3.
  • Free Energy / Mount Weather @ Local 506 – With a debut record expected in the new year (produced by no less than LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy), there’s nothing but crazy buzz around the blog-o-sphere about this band of boys from Philadelphia. For $8 adv / $10 day of the show, you best go ahead and catch them before they end up on Gossip Girl or something stupid and you feel totes behind the times.

Tues – 11/24

  • One Love Festival: Capelton / Anthony B / Cocoa T with Steve Martinez & The Give Thanks Band @ Lincoln Theatre $27 adv / $32 day of the show

Wed – 11/25

  • Butterflies / Ah Holly Family (Portland) / Ohioan (members of Castanets/ Ghost to Falco) @ The Nightlight

Thurs – 11/26

  • 30th Annual Thanksgiving Potluck Dinner and Open Mic @ The Cave – For thirty years, The Cave’s “been celebrating Thanksgiving with a big honkin’ potluck.”  If the camaraderie and the chance to snack on someone’s grandma’s pattented pecan pie weren’t enough, there’s the promise of open mic shenanigans to boot.  Get grateful and bring something good to share.

Fri – 11/27

  • Post Turkey Day Jam: Katherine Whalen’s Lucky / Old Habits / Jon Shain, Will McFarlane, Danny Gotham, and Armand Lenchek @ Cat’s Cradle – Proceeds benefit Inter Faith Council for Social Service $10
  • 919 Noise Showcase: Joe Hendrix / Remora / Jon Ericksen / Sten Ove Toft (Norway) / Slicnaton (Raleigh) / Nik Woondt (Chapel Hill) /POWER CLOUD (Chatham County Circuit Benders) @ The Nightlight

Sat – 11/28

  • Thad Cockrell / Civil Wars @ The Pour House Music Hall –  If you’re human and you’ve heard any note of Begonias, the duet album Cockrell made with Raleigh-darling Caitlin Cary, you know a- that record could probably stop the apocalypse, it’s so awesome and b- how incredi-mazing the double wallop of Cockrell’s tenor voice and sweet natured lyrical bent is.  I mean really, you’ll mostly be over your food-coma by then, so it would be a shame not to cough up the $10 and catch the man in action.

Anywhere else we need to be?

Happy Thanksgiving week!
