Annuals and The Bowerbirds Talk 2008, Coachella and SXSW
All the talk about Raleigh’s music scene rising from the ashes could use some boost in the early part of the year 2008. When discussing local music scenes, it is evident that Raleigh needs to step outside of the shadow that Chapel Hill sheds over it. To do this, it may need to ride on the shoulder of a couple of local “giants”, while the scene slowly builds back up. Although not necessarily considered giants (yet), Annuals and The Bowerbirds each received a good amount of national recognition in the year 2007. Both have fantastic debut albums and both are traveling across the country to very well known festivals this spring. I spoke with Mike Robinson, the bass player for Annuals and Phil Moore from The Bowerbirds about the year ahead for both bands. Annuals, Bowerbirds and new Video
