\nHere it is: Reggae royalty here in Raleigh on a Tuesday night! Ziggy Marley is here to jam it out at the Lincoln Theatre. Be ready for a packed house and a great night of music as Ziggy & Crew tear it up along with a special guest as opener. This is not to be missed if you are a Reggae lover.<\/p>\n
\nThis is the start of a four-night stand for Love Language, local faves on the indie rock scene and definitely up and comers on the Merge Label. Get there Early as Slim’s is a very small venue and you will be jockeying for a good spot. Local indie\/experimental\/glam rockers Left Outlet<\/a> open the night at 9 p.m.<\/p>\n
\nOne of the leaders in the Post-Punk movement, New York-based Interpol has been leading the Post-Punk\/Indie charge for the better part of 12 years and have yet to let up. They have had a rich tradition of success and hit albums and several successful World Tours. The band is back for more and still touting the release of their latest album. Get ready for a hard driving night of music and personality. Although it\u2019s not quite fair to either band given the immense talent of both bands, School of Seven Bells open the evening. This is another New York-based band \u2013 younger \u2013 and certainly climbing the ladder \u2013 but very, very talented and a very tough act to follow given their immense talent. Be prepared to contemporary (retro) vocals with indie and electronica which will give it a modern Depeche Mode type sound. This is going to be a GREAT night of music and is certainly not to miss! Get there early as this show will be packed out if not sold out. <\/p>\n
\nRaleigh\u2019s favorite jazz band is back for their bi-monthly gig at The Pie and is not to disappoint. These guys are the class of the Triangle jazz scene and constantly change their sets so as to bring you something new each show. This will not disappoint as I am sure there is going to be a new guest sitting in, playing some great music and getting the crowd dancing.<\/p>\n
\nNight two of the Slim’s stand. I\u2019m assured that they will be bringing something new each and every night and this promises to be a great show. Again get there early as this is a small venue — or be ready to throw elbows. Local Rocker Whatever Brains open the evening at 9 p.m.<\/p>\n
\nAs part of the First Friday events, Local Indie Band The Jackets play inside one of the coolest retro shops in Raleigh. This is a regular occurrence at this location for First Fridays, and this Friday brings a great local indie band. Come early, check out the band and then walk around downtown and check out the First Friday events!<\/p>\n
\nOne of our favorite Jam bands from Western North Carolina grace the Pourhouse with their presence on Friday. If you like Sci-Fi, Particle, Phish or Perpetual Groove, you will love these guys. You can expect a full night of driving guitar, keys, funk & electronica. It’s a perfect to kick-start to the weekend and will get you jamming and dancing. Get there early for a good spot as these guys have a sizeable and loyal fan base.<\/p>\n
\nExpect something special during the last night of their residency \u2013 this is the finale \u2013 and they are pulling no punches with high-energy opener Lonnie Walker. You can expect this high-energy to continue into the Love Language set. This is a sold-out show. Get there early as the house will be packed before the opener.<\/p>\n
\nJazz fans rejoice! The boys are back together. In one of their first gigs back together, the CQ plays 2-3 sets for the Bee Ball, an annual fundraiser for local charity the BeeHive Collective. It’s similar to Band Together but more progressive and down to Earth. You can expect some great jazz\/swing music, perfect for dancing and having fun. Note: The band will play between 8 p.m. and midnight, followed by a DJ. Costume suggested, but not required.<\/p>\n
\nFollowing in the footsteps of former great Canadian Indie Rock bands like The Tragically Hip & Arcade Fire, this Canadian band from Halifax will put a folksy spin on their Indie Sound. The only thing better for these guys would be if they could get Ashley McIsaic to join the band. These guys are superb and are climbing the ladder. Catch them now and you might be able to catch them again (if the rumors are true) at Hopscotch this fall.<\/p>\n
\nOnce again, our Favorite Zydeco band is back for their monthly gig at The Big Easy. Expect all things Cajun from Kenny on the washboard to folks gliding around the room doing the \u201cCajun Waltz.\u201d A truly fun night of music and an opportunity to catch a genre of music that is quite rare in these parts.<\/p>\n
\nLake Street Drive (Alt\/Jazz) – 7 p.m. | $10
\nA great early show on Mother’s Day. This group from Chicago will wow you with their jazzy\/alt rock style and improvisation. While the music is very good, the stage presence and level of entertainment is also great; you will have an enjoyable evening. And bring your mom \u2013 admission is free for her tonight!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.raleighpublicrecord.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Love-Language.jpg\" "\\"Love")
