Two more bands added to XX Merge Fest

We're less than three weeks away from the big XX Merge Fest in Carrboro and Merge has just added two more bands to the line-up for the July 22-25 Cat's Cradle shows.

The first is Pure, from Asheville. The band hasn't played together since the early 90s but will be reuniting for the festival. Merge actually only released one 7" by the band in 1991.

The second is the New Zealand band 3Ds who haven't played a show in the United States since touring with Superchunk in 1994. They haven't released an album since 1996's Strange News From the Angels.

So that's two reunions added for the festival. Are there more to come? We'll have to wait and see.
