Folks who loved the first releases from local punk group
The Scaries (pictured right) would be wise to be at Go! Studios this Friday, Feb. 11. There you'll find the group celebrating the release of their latest CD
Wishing One Last Time, which is coming out on Route 14 records.
Sorry About Dresden (pictured left),
20/20 and
Stick Figure Suicide will be on hand to help celebrate. Call 969-1400. And, if you think they're
really groovy (or if you live in Raleigh and shun I-40), you can catch the gang again--sans Sorry About Dresden--at Kings in Raleigh on Sunday, Feb. 13. Call Kings at 831-1005. Also of note: Greensboro skronk-rockers
The Mercury Birds at The Cave on Friday, Feb. 11 (call 968-9308);
Two Dollar Guitar, side project of Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley, with
Analogue II and
Mothlight (featuring members of Cherry Valence and Hourly Radio) at Kings on Saturday, Feb. 12 (call 831-1005); and former Squirrel Nut Zipper Tom Maxwell, whose recent solo project
Samsara is easily one of the best local releases of the year, at Lakeside Lounge on Sunday, Feb. 13 (833-6557). --
