After Lambchop, Mount Moriah and William Tyler kick off the Merge 25 Festival with a sold out show at Baldwin Auditorium in Durham on Wednesday, July 23, the party will continue with an afterparty at Motorco Music Hall.

The show will start at 11 p.m. and feature a set by local rockers Flesh Wounds as well as a DJ set from Greg Cartwright of the Reigning Sound. Folks with four-day festival passes will get into the event for free as space allows. The public can also get tickets at the door for $5.

Check out the song "Bitter Boy," released on a 7" by Merge Records earlier this year, below.

Merge Records to release new Flesh Wounds 7" in May

Carrboro power trio Flesh Wounds released their debut album in 2012 via cassette (and digitally) and now the band will release three new songs on 7" vinyl via Merge Records (it will be released digitally too, of course).

The label will release "Bitter Boy" with the b-sides "Kennel Cough" and "Let Me Be Clear" on May 13. Check out the blistering "Bitter Boy" which doesn't even cross the two-minute mark below.

Flesh Wounds will play the Nightlight in Chapel Hill on Wednesday, April 9, with Last Year's Men and Golden Pelicans. Tickets will be $7 at the door for members or $9 for non-members.
