Ricky Dollars - Live On Stage!
Ricky Dollars was living in Brooklyn last fall when I first posted a link to his politically charged take on Jay-Z's "99 Problems". But Ricky D moved back to the Triangle a couple of months ago and that qualifies him to be one of the countless local acts performing in the massive Troika Music Festival that's going on this week. Come see Durham's newest wordsmith at Joe & Jo's this Thursday night at 8pm! It's not the best timeslot or anything, but the Bueno Love Baller Soundsystem will be working the fader and trying to hype up the crowd, so please come out early and catch the madness if you can.
In case you missed it the first time, here's the hit:
Of course there are a lot of other really good and/or totally-new-to-me bands playing the Troika Music Festival. Check out the full schedule for details. While I am plugging my pals, I should go ahead and mention that Tennis & the Mennonites were great when they opened up for Superchunk last month. Tennis is playing the Duke Coffeehouse on Friday night at 8:30pm. Your serve.
