{ nuthing make up show rescheduled }

Hello Everyone!

We have decided to postpone the show to allow for us to regroup and get as many of the bands that were supposed to be involved together so that we can give you guys a killer show. Our date is looking to be 4 to 6 weeks out, but we will be announcing an exact date as soon as we can. On such short notice, most of our bands already had things booked for the original makeup date and everything would end up being rushed. We feel that you deserve better than that and if we're gonna do it, we want to do it right. For any and all questions, please contact me ( Steve ) at contact@wearnuthing.com .

Those of you who have purchased 2 day tickets online, we will be refunding half of your ticket price this afternoon since Sunday was rained out, and we will be giving you free tickets to the Nuthing Fall Collaborative on top of that.

For those of you who purchased 2-day tickets at the show, please send me an email and I will get you taken care of.

We sincerely apologize for having to move it forward, but will make sure it is worth the wait. Thank you for your support and check back soon for details.

{ rainout update }

yes kids, the rain won this battle. it brought a multidirectional attack that soaked our boards and backline... and as much as we wanted to rock the ncmf for the second day in a row, water and electricity do not play well together.

however, undaunted, we continue forward...

free show tonight 9pm - 2am at philosopher's stone with evelynn rose, humans, and incognito mosquito.

festival raindate: sunday 8/23 at ncmf... lineup tba.

eyes of the elders was formed on the assumption that herbie hancock, not john hancock, signed the declaration of independence. in the spring of 2007 the imperial penguin approached hip-hop duo known as eyes of the elders about forming a live band to play with them, as opposed to just beats. after a few trials and errors, the final lineup was set in the summer of 2008, and has grown into a forced to be reckoned. the five piece band is composed of the following: a classically trained music instructor with, literally, perfect pitch on the keys (we tested him and he passed); a classically trained music instructor who "cut her teeth" in a travelling gypsy band in romania on violin; a guitarist who plays with credit cards, uno cards, lighters, beer bottles and cell phones... and never misses a note; a badger, yes, i said badger, on the funky bass, whos been holding it down with various bands for many years; and the imperial penguin holding it all together on the drums.

eyes of the elders has destroyed the scene in and around charlotte, presenting a sonically diverse canvas splattered with what some call "verbal diarrhea" and others call... well... genius. eoe leaves their mark in the audience’s third eye, spitting mind splitting and reality rendering lyrical smartbombs. music lovers from all genres are left foaming at the mouth and asking for more, so they are going to continue to get it.

Jarett Gilbert - Vocals

Sam Einhorn - Guitar

Evan Hammer - Bass

Luca Pironti - Drums

Bury Me A Lion aims high and hits hard. The band’s modern rock sound melds together The Strokes and The Beatles, and is layered against thick and airy Doors-influenced vocals. Their lively shows feature an aggressive yet playful sound delivered with force and excitement.

Bury Me A Lion is a four piece New York based band, with four very different backgrounds and influences. Singer Jarett Gilbert commands the stage as he balances a nonchalant attitude with erratic urgency. His natural warmth is tweaked by a sense of warning and foreboding. Sam Einhorn, on guitar, propels the show with fast hitting rhythms that infuse each song with its own unique force. Luca Pironti was born to play drums, and his prodigious playing sits at the forefront of the band’s sound. Evan Hammer’s melodic bass playing complements Sam’s intricate guitar style and often descends into a thick grooving drive.

Bury Me A Lion has received a consistently enthusiastic reaction at shows and through recordings, from fans who are celebrating a new rock sound that offers seminal experiences from every part of the stage.
