Pipe – Record Release Show

New self-titled album, PIPE, out August 4th! The vinyl album and limited deluxe vinyl edition with 7″ lathe cut and art print will be available via Bandcamp on August 4th. Until then, stream the single, “Backstroke,” and check out the video filmed right here in Carrboro!Listen to an interview from WCHL with Chuck Garrison, the legendary drummer for Pipe and many other Chapel Hill favorites!The rock band Pipe is a cold-cock polar ice bath in the middle of a historically hot summer, a ferocious roar that shakes us out of a stupor we didn’t know we were in. They know it too. They’ve been doing it for more than three decades. Their interpretation of punk is lean, economic and direct. Pipe leaves more of an impression with a 90-second song or a 25-minute show than perfectly good bands do in their whole careers. Come help Messrs. Alworth, Garrison, Kenlan and Liberti celebrate their first new album in 26 years. Despite being nine years in the making, their new self-titled 11-song set sounds remarkably unlabored, not to mention modern and 100% organic. Local faves Shark Quest will open. –Gavin O’HaraWebsite | FacebookComprised of a virtual who’s-who of the local Triangle (NC) music scene of the late ’90s, Shark Quest draws on a myriad of styles, melding individual influences & talents to create something that is definitively their own. Dusty pop melds with elements of surf guitar, bluegrass, traditional folk, bossa nova, Sufi-western, & neoclassical baroque to create a sound that is uniquely Shark Quest.BandcampDJLICIOUS – Late-blooming DJ bearing fruits of the vinyl.Instagram

Little Image

While many young artists had their careers derailed in 2020 due to COVID, it actually managed to save little image, which was gearing up to announce itself to the world without realizing the members needed more time for reflection.The Dallas-based alt-pop trio released their debut album SELF TITLED earlier this year via Hollywood Records.  Produced in partnership with Chad Copelin (Sufjan Stevens, 5 Seconds Of Summer), the album featured songs “LUNGS BURN,” “BLUE,” and “OUT OF MY MIND,” the latter garnering millions of streams ahead of the album’s release and broke the Top 20 on Alternative Airplay, was featured in a Hulu add, and secured the group for On The Verge – ALT, iHeart’s premiere breaking artist program. After opening for Panic!
