💥WED JUL 1st! 🐞 IS BACK w/ 🐷 and tix are almost sold out! 🎟️💨 Get yours soon.
Bughunter has the very unique skill of being able to put a lifetime of experiences in a single song. 🖤 There is also a very rare quality where even the most painful lyrics manage to have a silver lining or hope within their theme ✨
Every song has a story, and every story has something profound to pull from it. 📖 Every single album and song is an entire rush of words that manage to perfectly capture so many specific emotions and moments in time. 😭💖 There is such a rare quality in the writing, and I’ve yet to find another artist that I can fully compare to Bug Hunter.
🎤 Mudslinger/songwrecker The Narcissist Cookbook uses five-rounds-rapid storytelling and powerful songwriting as a siege weapon trained on the barker between the stage and the audience.
🔥 An irreverent, unpredictable and inimitable voice in modern spoken word.
Honestly? This show is for the lovers of stories, feelings, strange little observations, and songs that somehow leave you laughing and crying at the same time.
⏳ Don’t sleep on this one, babes.

are bringing their giant-hearted indie punk to Durham and we could not be more stoked. Their songs are hooky and loud 🎸 and emotional 🖤 and funny 😭 and they somehow make all of those things work at the same time.
And !!! 💖 Karl Kuehn’s newest project is beautiful and emo and cheeky and SO serious. Karl is one of our favorite songwriters, and getting these two projects together on one bill feels like a gift ✨
This is for the pop punk kids. The emo kids. The q***r kids. The former emo kids who swear they’re over it.

This show 🔪kills every time. Tag Your Friends who LOVE THE BODY! Noise / Experimental / Heavy / forever prolific THE BODY comes BACK to The Pinhook w/ BIG | BRAVE - a fave pairing ... and our own DEAD HALOS is opening! ... The Body have been a leading force of innovation in heavy music for over two decades. The prolific duo of guitarist/vocalist Chip King and Lee Buford (on percussion/electronics) have consistently expanded the scope of what heavy music can be. The Body has produced a wealth of groundbreaking collaborations and benchmark albums that over the past 2 decades have changed the perceptions and directions of heavy music. Known for the monolithic force of their music, and their inventive production techniques, their albums are benchmarks in the expansion and evolution of heavy music. Tightly packed with deceptively nuanced arrangements, exhilarating and challenging distortion, their albums are possessed of an unmistakably singular sound. The Crying Out of Things is no exception, a culmination of all that The Body have done before, highlighting their mastery of dynamic, monumental music that pushes toward the unmistakable sound of oblivion.
In this class we talk about getting all your press materials in order so that you can have the most efficient promo cycle! This includes videos / admat + all other MATS you may need to get a promoter. Holler w/ thoughts and qs!
