Spider Bags, Harrison Ford Mustang
The Pinhook 117 W Main St, Durham, North Carolina 27701
Although they originated further up the coast in New Jersey, Spider Bags are unmistakably Chapel Hillians, and encapsulate the Southern garage-rock sound that popularized the scene in the ‘90s. That isn’t to say the band is a nostalgia act, but it certainly fits alongside other local acts on the Merge roster. It released Someday Everything Will Be Fine with Merge in 2018 and just this past year, the Sophomore Lounge label reissued the band’s 2007 record A Celebration of Hunger. Greensboro indie-rock group Harrison Ford Mustang will open. —Sam Haw
