Brainbows
WXDU 88.7 FM, Durham
Brainbows are one of the most exciting young bands to come out of Durham in the past year or two -- super-noisy, still pretty poppy, with a raw postpunk energy that calls to mind all yr rudimentary faves from that initial anything-goes late-70s/early-80s postpunk era. 4:00 p.m. at 88.7 FM or
wxdu.org.

Shearwater, Sharon Van Etten
Cat's Cradle, Carrboro
Sharon Van Etten has one of those voices that'll cut right through you -- her last album, Epic, was of the sort that in certain moods would stay in your player for days & weeks at a time. Her new album, Tramp, came out a couple of days ago.
