Post-punk heads, where y'all at? It's freaking PORCELAIN on Monday, joined by Durham's long-lost (but not forgotten) MAKE, back from the dead with some doomy, sludgy metal. And last but not least, Durham's beloved noise pop punk babes SWEET HOMÉ are playing their last show for the foreseeable future. This is an absolutely ripping and historic bill. Spread the word!! 😈
