IO at UNC

Int'l Orange played a show on the UNC campus the other day for the first time. The strange thing about Chapel Hill is that, though there are thousands of college kids who one might think would be into local rock music, there has been virtually NO connection between the music scene and the campus. Well, one local dude named Stuart Cullinan is setting out (with a lot of help) to change that by organizing concerts on campus by good local groups. We were headlining the first of these, held in the Great Hall, which actually is more reminiscent of a Great Big Basketball Court. Pep rally flashbacks aside, we had an amazing time playing, and the crowd was very responsive. Judging from that experience, if these things keep going we might see a renewed interest in local arts among UNC students, which would be amazing. Now all we have to do is just get this weasel voted out of the White House and we'll be all set...
