This week's Local Band Local Beer: The Toddlers & The Cellar Seas

It's Thursday, so that means there will be some fantastic free music tonight (September 29) in downtown Raleigh as the weekly Local Band Local Beer show hits Tir Na Nog.

The show will feature a pair of Triangle bands, The Toddlers from Chapel Hill and The Cellar Seas from Raleigh. Check out music from each band at their respective MySpace pages (The Toddlers HERE and The Cellar Seas HERE).

As always, the show is limited to those 21 and up and the music will start around 10 p.m.

The Love Language play ferocious set at the Cradle

Now that we've covered the Archers of Loaf reunion, it's time to get back to the reason a sold out crowd gathered at the Cat's Cradle on Saturday night in the first place. Local superstars The Love Language took the stage before a crowd of ravenous young fans ready to hear their favorite band.

Unlike the Libraries album release show at the Cradle in July 2010 which felt like a jubilant hometown gig, this show felt more urgent and angsty. The band experimented with different arrangements of songs and sounded like a band who had spent the better part of 2010 on the road perfecting their chops.
