Lafcadio

Oh, yeah! Lafcadio will be playing at Shakori (much to our delight) this year. We will play on Thursday, April 16th at 10 p.m. Word is we’ll play in the Cabaret tent. Wonderful things have been known to happen in the Cabaret tent… who knows, you better come and see for yourself.

For the poor, unfortunate souls who have missed this festival in the past–SEIZE THE MOMENT! You only live once. You live better at Shakori.

day pass prices vary by day, and are cheaper if bought ahead of time. For people like us, it’s possible to volunteer rather than pay for your tickets! Volunteering is a ball. You spend a day in the country, moving your body, and you’re likely to learn something and meet some new friends. Last year I learned how to use power tools … poorly .

There’s also a shuttle available for those who lack four wheels of their own. Again, check it all out at http://www.shakorihills.org/

We’ve got a busy few weeks ahead of ourselves:

Ryan and Liz are playing a short acoustic set at the UNC Arts Crawl on the quad from 1 to 1:30 On Friday, March 27.

Lafcadio will be playing at 9:00 on Thursday, April 2nd, at the Mansion in Chapel Hill. Lafcadio’s headlining, and this one is gonna rock! Phillip Pledger will open up the show at 8:00.

Lafcadio will be playing at Jack Sprat in Chapel Hill on Saturday, April 4th–we are excited to headline this one, too! Come give us some love. Show starts at 9 pm and we plan to melt your faces AND hearts. hot damn.

Halfcadio (bad joke. ok. actually, this is Ryan, Liz, and Austin McCall on percussion) will be playing for roughly 1/2 hour at Jack Sprat on Wednesday, April 8th. The show starts at 8:30 and will include the poetry of Brian Howe and Tessa Joseph Nicholas. Come get yo’self cultured. It’s FREE!!

Hi folks! Much has happened since our last stale post.

for one: the UNC-Duke Battle of the Bands. Lafcadio didn’t win, but we made it to the finals (and through six hours of waiting…) UNC’s Daily TarHeel had some nice things to say about our show:

“Another standout performance came from semi-finalist Lafcadio, a UNC band represented by Vinyl Records.

The band’s sultry, twangy and soulful sound was reminiscent of rocking alt-country singer Neko Case, with lead singer Liz Ross wooing the tired audience.

“I liked Lafcadio best,” said Caroline Fisher, a UNC junior.  “I feel like they masterfully blend of a lot of music.  They switch genres effortlessly.”
