Diarrhea Planet

Highly acclaimed rockers/shredding maniacs Diarrhea Planet are in town for, as far as we know, their first ever Fayetteville show Friday night at JR’s. Locals Teenagers will open. It should be a good one. Just listen to a little bit of this.

Also Saturday night, Randall Shreve & The Devilles will perform with Silent Waits the Archer, and the Toos at George’s. Shreve will be celebrating the release of his new album (and a new band). Party.

There’s a three band bill at Nomad’s Music Lounge as well, featuring locals High Lonesome, along with Carry Illinois (Austin), and locals, Lost John.

There’s also a show at the AMP with outlaw country artist Hank Williams Jr., 38 Special, and Whiskey Myers.
