Minor Stars
Our good friends Minor Stars are celebrating the completion and release of their new album this weekend.

Nick and Ron are moving out and we’re throwing down. We get the chance to play with some bands we’ve been meaning to connect with, and it’s all a family affair. Artwork by Ron Liberti, Dan Tate, and Scott Nurkin. Nick’s recording the bands’ sets. Friends are also filming digital video to put together a DVD of the event. Drinks and hanging out and other partyness.
Track & Field Recording Studio is on Brewer Lane in Carrboro – next to Reservoir and in the Carolina Carwash Building. The show and party is in the studio itself, not at Reservoir or in the warehouse spaces across the street, as some of the rumors have it.

Check out the websites for Nick’s studio. He says he can make you a most excellent husband, lover, or recording.
