The Old Ceremony, Ryan Gustafson
James C.Wallace Parking Deck Plaza, Chapel Hill
This show begins at 6pm; the Wallace Parking Deck (and its top-level plaza) is there in Chapel Hill between East Franklin and Rosemary. You've likely parked there & perhaps never knew there was a rooftop plaza/garden thing.

(and unless you were around & paying attention in the early 90s, you probably also had no idea that when the old Cradle closed, the Town of Chapel Hill tried to get Frank to open a new Cradle up there on top of that parking deck)

I've seen Ryan Gustafson twice in the past 2 months, and both times were out-of-doors on uncomfortably hot days. I'm left with this mental image of him as a sweaty, bedraggled-looking fellow, and I'm afraid this show might leave you with the same. Great songs, though.

The Spring Collection, The Moaners
Tir Na Nog, Raleigh
It's this week's Local Bands, Local Beers, with the swampy growl of the Moaners, and the new Raleigh supergroup The Spring Collection, featuring members of the Bleeding Hearts & the Cartridge Family. I'm guessing it'll be tight Brit-influenced pubrock.

The Old Ceremony have a new album coming out this September, so I'd think you could expect to hear some of it in their set by now.
