So we all have had a couple weeks
to digest the big news--that is, the Hopscotch lineup being announced and we are
ready to talk about what we are thrilled to see. Here at For The Record, we are
dedicated to promoting local music venues, artist and fans. It is so
exciting for us to watch the Triangle become a music destination.
This year Hopscotch
celebrates its 5th anniversary with a bang. According to their
website, the three day festival will feature more than 160 diverse bands (40%
of which are local). We are going to
spend the three fall days exploring the city and seeing as many artists as we
can. We cannot wait to check out:
#1 St. Vincent-I know we have
mentioned it before…but we love everything that Annie Clark does and the fact
that this Brooklyn talent is bringing her show back to the Triangle is beyond
exciting. DO NOT MISS IT.
#2 Death- Not going to lie, like
a lot of you we had not heard of Death until the release of Mark Christopher
Covino and Jeff Howlett’s documentary, A Band Called Death, about the 1970s punk band. There is
something so sensational about their story and comeback (almost three
decades later). Death makes the power of music and history exciting again and we
cannot wait to see these legends live. I would definitely suggest checking out the documentary too.
#3 No Eyes- No Eyes is local to the Oak City and we are so
excited that they will be a part of Hopscotch this year. We had a chance to
check them out last month at Local Band Local Beer and there sound is
refreshingly unique.
As I mentioned before there are hundreds more artists who
will be featured throughout the three-day festival so make sure you get your
tickets ASAP. See you out there.
