Let Feedback Ring, the upstart show series concocted and booked by Negative Fun Records co-owner Chris DeFusco and local writer and musician Corbie Hill, continues its run with a February punk show at Legends Nightclub in Raleigh. The longstanding LGBT club has been the show series' home since a September 2013 Hopscotch day party so well-attended it all but sold the venue out of beer by mid-afternoon. The showcases, which coincide with First Friday events, go down in Spotlight Theater, a dignified little theater typically the home of drag shows.
February's bill features No Love (Raleigh), Totally Slow (Greensboro), and Black Market (Charlotte), three bands drawing from distinct corners of the punk world.
No Love, who are currently working on their debut LP, offers a darker take on pop-punk in a rare Raleigh appearance. Charlotte's Black Market make their second Let Feedback Ring appearance. The Charlotte band recently issued a digital release on Death To False Hope Records, as well as a split 7” with Red Money on their own HIP Collective Records. Greensboro’s Totally Slow, an anthemic pop-punk outfit featuring former members of North Carolina punk legends Eagle Bravo and Rights Reserved, released their debut self-titled LP in late 2013.
Spring shows include a March 7 date featuring Carrboro all-star psych-rock band Midnight Plus One and the first North Carolina appearance from Richmond's Positive No. Positive No released their debut EP, Via Florum, last fall to rave reviews and their single, "Georgia Purchase Agreement," was showcased on RollingStone.com. Positive No counts former members of Dahlia Seed, Thao And The Get Down Stay Down, and Fulflej in their impressive lineage. Rounding out the bill is the live debut of Static Is A City, a new Raleigh post-hardcore outfit featuring former members of Dahlia Seed and Milemarker.
April 4 sees Wilmington-via-Southport jubilant pop-punks Museum Mouth joined by Raleigh house show heroes Naked Naps. This bill will also serve as the LP release show for the Chapel Hill introversion-rock of Wichita Falls.
