THE FUCKING CHAMPS, BIRDS OF AVALON
The Pour HouseWoe is Raleigh and its ill-advised downtown development: Kings is gone and still looking for a new home, but Birds of AvalonThe Cherry Valence’s divided cell plus several Kings associatesis less in exile and more busting its collective, blistered-riffs ass behind its charging Volcom debut, Bazaar Bazaar. They’re on tour with The Fucking Champs, the heavy but agile California three-piece, while Red Fang opens. This is a Kings Presents… show, in case you couldn’t tell. Tickets are $8-$10 at 10 p.m. Grayson Currin
