Saturday at The Cave

Published: Fri, 08/22/25

Just a quick note today because I'm busy making up a song called I Gave My Life to Christ in a Cracker Barrel Parking Lot.

I want to remind you about the show I get to play Saturday night at The Cave in Chapel Hill.

Sat. August 23, 9 p.m.

The Cave, Chapel Hill

Em Gee (album release)

Erika Kobayashi Libero (The Bangzz)

The King Teen

Em Gee has a new album coming out Saturday called N.M.A. They say it's been 15 years in the making. Here's what Em Gee says about the album and the show in this Instagram reel:

Still from a video showing Em Gee, who has long bleached hair on the right side of their head and a buzzcut on the left, and is wearing a spaghetti strap black top that shows off a tattoo on their left shoulder. Above their head are words from the rolling caption. They say "about stuff and like sometimes."

"If you like someone singing vulnerable things about themselves but like really fast at you, or like if you're like tough and cool but you care about stuff and like sometimes you like to cry, this is for you."

If someone forwarded this to you
and you want to sign up: Go here.

But wait there's more! Also on the bill is Erika Kobayashi Libero, the singer and guitar player of The Bangzz, and if you don't know The Bangzz you're missing out. They'll be playing a full-band show Friday night at Cat's Cradle, supporting Willa Mae, and then Erika will bust out some secret songs solo on Saturday.

Erika even wrote a song special just to promote this show. You can hear it in this Instagram reel, and as you can partially see in this screenshot, it includes a chorus that goes:

LALALALALALA
Over share trauma dump

I'm going to be kicking off the show at 9 p.m. and I've got some surprises in store that I'd love to tell you about but then they wouldn't be surprises would they.

This might be my last show for a little while because I don't have anything else on the books and I just got cast in another play so that's going to take up some of my time over the next couple months. More on that next time.

Come on out Saturday! See you there.

Thanks for reading, listening and coming on out.
