First, huge thanks to everyone who came out for the Charlotte and Raleigh shows. It was a very good time.
Second, big shout outs to The River Kings, I Was Totally Destroying It (who did totally destroy it) and Uncle Mountain for joining us in Charlotte. And to Hank Sinatra who rang in the New Year with us in Raleigh. You should check out all of these bands (iTunes, etc.). Very good stuff.
Third, a little after the fact, but a nice write up in the Charlotte Creative Loafing before the show: THE BALSA GLIDERS The N.C.-based band is currently working on a new album, The Last Debutante, due for release in Spring 2011. Their music, which has gelled over the past decade of performing and recording, is a blend of guitar pop, storytelling lyrics, roots flourishes, and straight forward rock. Their pop-rock is tightly woven and plenty worthy of the N.C.'s Triangle-area's anthemic indie rock history. With the River Kings. CL Blurb
Lastly, a little clip from the Deep South NYE show This is a song about a boat...
Happy New Year.
