THE Straight 8's

Rockabilly times 10 you ain't gonna wanna miss this!!

THE TREMORS

The Tremors dedication to the musical roots of rock'n'roll comes through in every whipsaw atomic blast. A night with the Tremors is a hell-bent chicken-run through the greatest music in American history - rockabilly - the hybrid of blues and country that became rock'n'roll and changed the world. This rockabilly is as pure, authentic and strong as Tennessee sour mash, and sure ain’t for the faint of heart!!

KILLER FILLER

Killer Filler is the creation of keyboardist, guitarist, and songwriter Chris "Crispy" Bess -- an all-instrumental five-piece outfit to meld his twin penchants for 1960s Memphis soul and California surf music. Funk, twang, jazz, lounge and swing flavor Crispy's songwriting as well as the B-side nuggets that he handpicks to arrange and cover. The Ventures, The Shadows, Booker T. and the MGs, and The Champs and The Meters are all channeled by the band in live sets.

CLASSIC MONSTER CONVENTION

Classic Films

You know one of thee coolest venues in the area is the Carolina theatre, in Durham.
They host a monthly series called Retrofantasma, in which they show a double bill once a month of some of the craziest horror flicks from the past. In October they have a special series called the Escapism Film Festival, where they show classic action and adventure films that will not be shown anywhere else. Last year they had screenings of the original War of the Worlds. And then in February they host the Nevermore Film Festival, which celebrates the best in independent horror from filmmakers like you. Get out to durham and eat some popcorn.

RETROFANTASMA

Now that the carolina theatre is open after renovations it will not be too long before Retrofantasma starts up again. Check back for dates and titles.
