Zephyranthes, Table Tennis Dreamer, Owen Fitzgerald
Slim's Downtown 227 S Wilmington St, Raleigh, North Carolina 27601
If Beto O’Rourke doesn’t bring back The Mars Volta, the spacey prog-rock shredfests and noisy punk charges of shapeshifting Raleigh trio Zephyranthes are solid consolations. The slinky, slightly psychedelic jams of new Chapel Hill project Table Tennis Dreamer cross neo-soul and indie pop with John Waldo Wittenmyer’s chilled-out croon. Former Jokes&Jokes&Jokes leader Owen FitzGerald adds sparse, sullen Southern gothic solo tunes.
