![[FREE] Dive Party @ Local 506 4/9](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2465380_lg.jpg)
impressive local acts showcased by Dive The Diversions section of the Daily Tar Heel, the UNC student publication, are throwing the biggest, most economically feasible bash that Chapel Hill has seen since last Dive Party [December 9th]. I'm not familiar with these acts at all but these videos have really gotten me excited for the concert. Opener Jason Kutchama is the lead singer of Red Collar, local band that put out an impressive album [...]
LOTS going on this week, including Annuals , who will be at the Pour House on Friday in support of their upcoming "Sweet Sister" EP, which will be out in late March on Banter Records. Will we hear some new stuff at the show? Probably, but you can also hear some new stuff right now by going to Stereogum and checking out "Loxstep." Gray Young and Bright Young Things are opening this show, so don't miss it! Also, that lovely photo above is by Autum de Wilde. [...]

The heaters will play their CD-release show Feb. 20 at Local 506 with Red Collar, Pink Flag, and Magician Michael Casey. I didn't make that last part up. Download it here .

Caught part of Dirty Little Heaters at Tir na Nog on Thursday. I liked the keyboard player, and thought they gave them an bit of a Deep Purple sound, which is always nice. Not sure if he's a permanent addition. Check out the video. Dirty Little Heaters from Mann's World on Vimeo .

(Dirty Little Heaters) Thanks so much to everyone who came out to Slim's last night to help me celebrate my birthday! I had a blast, and I was so excited to introduce Dirty Little Heaters and Sir Arthur & the Royal Knights to several of my friends who hadn't seen them before. Both bands totally rocked, but Sir Arthur in particular were tighter than I'd ever seen them before. They need to wear those ruffled shirts at every show! (Dirty Little Heaters) (Dirty Little Heaters -- [...]
Sunday was the type of evening typical in Raleigh rock. Either there's nothing going on, or there are at least two great shows happening at once. Luckily Sunday's shows were staggered, which allowed me to catch Dirty Little Heaters at Slim's , Man Will Destroy Himself at White Collar Crime , and Suburban Sweethearts back at Slim's. The video of Dirty Little Heaters really doesn't do them justice, so I'll leave that off. Here's video of Man Will Destroy Himself (which is really dark) and, below that, Suburban Sweethearts .

First off, there's the Dirty Little Heaters and Suburban Sweethearts at Slim's . This is a benefit for Cy, and is also an EARLY show. So don't stroll in at 11:30 and get mad because you've missed most of the show. You've been warned. From Suburban Sweethearts: I know it's a Sunday night and all, but that's all the more reason to squeeze one more rockin' evening into your weekend... Tonight we'll be playing with the fantastic Dirty Little Heaters, and we'll also have donations for Cy Rawls and selling [...]
Gentlemen, I would advise you never to get on Reese McHenry's bad side. To do so will basically invite her to basically tear you a new one in song. The last time I saw The Dirty Little Heaters , it was McHenry on vocals and guitar, and another woman on drums. Now the band is a three piece with Rob Walsh of the Spinns on bass and Dave Perry of Jett Rink on drums -- and that was during a Carolina Rollergirls bout back when they still were at the roller rink. The beefed up sound [...]
