Superchunk
Saturday, August 24 @ Cat’s Cradle
All Ages, 9:00PM. $15-17

Very few bands from the 1980-1990’s Chapel Hill music scene are still together, much less relevant to the degree of Superchunk. This can’t-miss show will likely include tracks from their new album “I Hate Music” in addition to over 20 years of previous recordings. Critics and fans alike have supported the group’s reinvented sound and passion for music, so old and new fans will both be pleased. Homegrown acts like these are the reason Cat’s Cradle is great- make sure to check out Superchunk this weekend.

 

Magnolia Collective
Friday, August 23 @ Local 506
9:00PM. $5

Super Smash Bros Tournament
