Video: My Boy Rascal 9.25.09 at Jack Sprat
October 15, 2009
For those of you that missed MBR’s 9.25.09 show at Jack Sprat, you missed out on a great performance. The show featured a handful of new tunes, which are being given the final tweaks in Vinyl Records’ recording studio right now, plus a great Kings of Leon cover, as sung by MBR contributer Colin Iwanski. All video shot and edited by Tiffany Dixon. (Watch videos here.)
Lake Inferior // Pegasaur 10″ // 11.12.09
October 11, 2009
Lake Inferior’s latest release takes listeners aboard the SS Pegasaur for a celestial and psychoactive journey through the nether-regions of outer space. Pegasaur finds the band delving into swells of electric guitars and washed-out synthesizers, filled with burbling poly-rhythmic delight. The record is equal parts swirling dance atmospheres (“Addressing Parents”) and 8-bit Star Fox soundtrack (“Gepeddo”). Limited to 420 copies worldwide, Lake Inferior’s Pegasaur is set to take off in T-minus 11.12.09 seconds.
Lexicon @ The Library Oct 10, 9pm
October 8, 2009
South Raleigh born and raised, UNC-Chapel Hill-based rapper Lexicon meshes southern-fried beats with boastful and overtly sexual lyrics to create over-the-top songs that are as much confessions of carnal frustration and fantasy as they are aggressive, egotistical declarations of his own virtuosity.
