Faye, Late Bloomer, Jenny Besetzt
Duke Coffeehouse 106 Epworth Lane - Crowell Hall, Duke East Campus, Durham, North Carolina 27708
Duke’s tiny, underappreciated club space rings in another decade of eclectic student bookings with this spirited splatter of North Carolina punk. Charlotte’s Faye summon the leads and cheek of Last Splash-era Kim Deal to their punk-pop mix, while fellow N.C. rockers Late Bloomer feel like a college radio noise-pop memory from the same nineties milieu. With Jenny Besetzt.
