Princeton has been on a crazy (if poorly planned) tour that has brought them through North Carolina three times, once opening for Ra Ra Riot and, today, with Art Brut. Last week, they headlined at the Coffeehouse and we got video of them bantering, on stage and singing in the back of their van. Those hating hand claps need not listen. Otherwise, here’s the video:
Just a reminder, but the fourth annual WXDU Record Fair is set for tomorrow at the Duke Coffeehouse from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. And if all that record hunting gets you hungry, fear not: Only Burger will be there. Check out further details here.
New, however, are It’s Just Vanity playing with Antarctic and Greensboro’s the Bronzed Chorus and Princeton (which I believe has been advertised on the door for some time so not quite new) Oct. 16. The big announcement is Former Ghosts, fulfilling the Coffeehouse’s annual Jamie Stewart visit requirement. In addition to Mr. Xiu Xiu, the new super group includes This Song Is a Mess But So Am I‘s Freddy Ruppert and Zola Jesus‘s Nika Roza. Openers for the latter shows are TBA.
