The Sweets are two brothers from Winston Salem, NC who've been playing garage pop together for the past year, baking up a sticky mess of music despite going to different schools a few hundred miles apart. The duo wrote and recorded almost 50 original tracks in 2013, varying in styles from loud and fast garage punk to hushed and supple bedroom pop, so we took the best of both to release as the
Greatest Hits. Limited to 50 twizzler-red cassettes, DZ11 is sure to be snacked up soon, so find yours in the candy store before they're gone.
The Dougout will be celebrating its two year anniversary soon, and to commemorate the occasion we're putting on a show featuring performances from a few old friends and some new local talent. Check the event page
here for details, and check out the bands below:
☯ Teen Liver
☯ ☯ Wildhoney
☯ ☯ ☯ Expert Alterations
☯ ☯ ☯ ☯ Cool People
☯ ☯ ☯ ☯ ☯ Circus Bear
Before signing off, I'd like to thank everyone who came out last Friday to see
Speedy Ortiz,
Grass Is Green,
Two Inch Astronaut, and
Collapser. The bands were all phenomenal, the house was overflowing with people, and we got some stellar shots of the show from
Chris Suspect and a few of our friends right here for your viewing pleasure.
