Joe G.’s Coverband Explosions are notoriously great shows. For 11 years Joe Garrigan has managed to bring together some of the best musicians in our area to mix it up and play a whole bunch of tunes you know and love. Wigs, costumes, bare-chested drummers and a room full of people screaming out the lyrics to some of their most beloved songs are just some of the highlights. We had the pleasure of attending Joe’s last cover show in December and I must say it was a damn good time. For those of us who missed seeing a Ramones or Jimi Hendrix show, for example, this might have been the next best thing.
If you want to have some fun tonight, want to relive some old favorites in a live performance with some really talented people, want to drink a few beers and see lots of attractive ladies and fellas rockin’ it out like it’s a holiday weekend then you should head down to the Blind Tiger around 10pm. Tonight’s bands inlcude Black Sabbath, Tom Waits, Neil Diamond, Drivin’n'Cryin’, Pavement and Eddie Vedder. Hello! Can you say AWESOME? Most importantly all of Joe’s shows are for a good cause. Tonight, all the proceeds will go to the North Carolina Humane Society. So, you can have a bad ass Saturday night and save the sweet animals all at the same time.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day. This trio from Boston came into our kitchen with homegrown produce and organic chocolate and a willingness to help begin the restoration of our ad-hoc badminton court in the backyard. They’ve opened for the Avett Brothers and their album, “The Carpenter Bird” was listed by the Boston Globe as [...]
Back in the days, Joshua and I used to do what we called “work” at a pizza joint. Work usually consisted of running a pizza in the morning for breakfast, collecting cigarette boxes and 20 oz bottles of soda in our cars and when it was really slow Josh would bust out his Saxophone [...]
Here’s something I’ve been looking forward to for months. Thanks in large part to our neighbor Heather and the kind staff of the Weatherspoon Art Museum we gained access to the inner workings of the art installation process and were able to interview Leo in our kitchen.
This was a collaborative effort as part of our [...]
Two songs just aren’t enough. They came to our kitchen, braved the cold and the drizzle in the back yard and ate Indian food with us before returning to Brooklyn, NY. Fear not, they’ll be returning to Greensboro on March 13th as part of our Monkeywhale presents series …
Many thanks to Jocelyn, Emily and Jeremy [...]
For the past 2 years monkeywhale and our kind neighbors have thrown a Halloween party. Nothing fancy. A couple of gazebos, a keg, strings of lights across the lawn and a few lanterns. We also project films on the barn that have fallen into the public domain … like, Nosferatu for instance. Creepy and a [...]
An Apache Relay is the pre-colonial version of a courier system. Chiefs would compete against each other to see who could have a message delivered in the shortest amount of time. A Relay of 8 scouts could hand a message over a quarter of a mile in 3 minutes. Apparently. Just imagine if they [...]
