We rolled into Chapel Hill early so had lots of time to survey the city. As I was let down to not run into any member of Superchunk or Archers of Loaf, Chapel Hill turned out to be a great place. There's a hint of that Yellowsprings/Athens Ohio vibe here and everyone here turned out to be outstanding people. The NightLight is actually a vegan restaurant/used bookstore by day and punk rock club by nite. Even during the Summer months locals still frequent the streets of Chapel Hill and we ended up playing to a decent size crowd. Met a great band from Minesota on tour called,The Men Who Control The Weather. They kinda sounds like a revved up punk rock version of Faith No More but their influences seemed to be endless. A BRO-ship was born and hopefully we'll be seeing these guys again soon.



After our set we found ourselves in the midst of some sort of hippie/tribal ritual where kids beat on tamborines, blow on wood flutes and dance amongst the fireflies. We were weak to their infectious rhythms and before we knew it several members of the band were grabbing buckets and drum sticks and taking this drum circle to a new level. After getting in touch with the spirits of Chapel Hill for a good 45 minutes we found refuge in our new friend Steve. He greeted us with a nice house, beer and a living room full of musical equiptment. You'd think at this point another 'jam' would be a bad after but a few beers into hanging out we re at it again , playing on two drums sets, organ, guitar, bass and accordian. We'll never know how good it really sounded but in our heads it was the greatest thing we've ever done
