The Baltimore duo Wye Oak seem to really love the Triangle, because they seem to pop up every three or four months in Chapel Hill or Carrboro. After hitting the road as the opening act for The Decemberists in February, the band will head out off a headlining tour.

They'll play Local 506 in Chapel Hill on Saturday, March 12. Fellow Baltimore band Lower Dens will open the show. Tickets are available now via etix for $8.

Wye Oak's latest release is the EP My Neighbor / My Creator, released earlier this year. When the band opened for Lou Barlow at the Cat's Cradle, they played some new songs from their forthcoming album which will hopefully see the light of day sometime in 2011. Check out a review and photos from that show here.
