ABOUT THE BANDS

Friday headliner Matthew Sweet has been making incredible music since the early 80s when he was a member of Athens, GA bands Oh-OK, Buzz of Delight and Community Trolls (with REM’s Michael Stipe). Sweet released a string of critically acclaimed solo records in the 90s including Girlfriend, Altered Beastand 100% Fun and has a total of 21 releases to his name including the recently issued Tomorrow’s Daughter.  The Right Profile, featuring Jeffrey Dean Foster, Stephen Dubner, Tim Fleming and Jon Wurster, were one of NC’s most explosive bands in the 1980’s, featured on Welcome to Comboland and signed to a major label before disbanding in 1988. We are pleased to have them reunite for Be Loud!   Surrender Human is a new trio from Chapel Hill with some very familiar faces including Matt McMichaels (Mayflies USA), Robert Sledge (Ben Folds Five) and Tony Stiglitz (Jett Rink).

Saturday night features the return of the Sex Police, one of Chapel Hill’s most notorious and beloved bands from the 1990’s. Featuring ex and future members of The Pressure Boys, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Notes From a Strange Mailbag and A Number of Things, Sex Police were known for their high-energy live show and three acclaimed records. And those horns! Another band reuniting for Be Loud! ’18 is Collapsis, which arose out of the ashes of Dillon Fence and Queen Sarah Saturday and featured acclaimed singer/songwriter Mike Garrigan. Their 2000 debut for Universal Records featured the modern rock hit “Automatic”. Pre-Raphaelites are a new Raleigh band featuring Doug MacMillan and Peele Wimberley from The Connells and Daniel Chavis from The Veldt.

Thanks for your support and Be Loud!
