So, it's been a while since I've updated the music section here at Brick Style. There has been a lot going on in North Carolina's music scene. The Beast released a new album along with Ryan Gustafson, I Was Totally Destroying It, Birds & Arrows and Luego. In addition, a handful of NC bands had the opportunity to play CMJ this week (a big music festival in NYC for college radio).There is more excitement in the distance. November 5-7 marks this year's Troika Music Festival. A huge music festival in Durham, NC featuring over 65 bands (most of them from NC and a few out-of-towners).
For the next two weeks, up until the festival, I will have mini-features of bands playing at Troika. So make sure you stay tuned!
$8 gets you into all of the venues each night, or you can pay $20 for a 3-day pass.
Name another festival where $20 bucks will get you 65+ quality bands. I don't think one exists.
You can stay informed on the Bullbot Troika blog and follow them on Twitter. Also, check out their website for the schedule of bands.
There is a promo video on its way!
So keep checking back here on Brick Style. In addition to featuring the bands, I might also feature the Triangle Brewing Company. Their beer is awesome.

BTW, Ryan, just to get an idea, which groups from around here DID play at CMJ this year?
Red Collar, Hammer No More the Fingers, The Bronze Chorus, The Love Language, Wigg Report and Lost In The Trees. I think that's it. I know The Beast and the Pneurotics were playing up in NYC/NJ around that time but none of the shows were CMJ I don't think.
