The saying holds true and all good things must, indeed, come to an end. Charlotte's
Black Congo NC will play its final show Dec. 12 at Snug Harbor with Yardwork and Snagglepuss. Black Congo front man (and
Shuffle contributor) Eric Deines has announced his departure from the Queen City to pursue new endeavors in the frozen plains of Bloomington, Ind.
So far BCNC has left only a cryptic note confirming the band's demise: "OUR LAST SHOW EVER! probably," reads a description of the show's listing on Black Congo's Myspace.
Check out Black Congo before it's too late. The band will play three more shows, including the final show at Snug Harbor. Dates below.
Dec. 5 @ Nightlight, Chapel Hill, NC
Dec. 6 @ Chalet 2000, Charlotte, NC (Kinnikinnik's 3rd Annual Winter Warm-Up)
Dec. 12 @ Snug Harbor, Charlotte, NC
Eric Deines (left, shirtless) is leaving N.C. for Indiana, which means the dissolution of Black Congo NC, the band Deines (a sometime Shuffle contributor) fronts, and which was featured in our most recent issue. The band bids its final adieu tonight at Snug Harbor. The loss of BCNC is a bummer for Charlotte, for sure.
Charlotte duo The Have And Have Nots announced the release of their debut EP, Vanity Of Vanities. Recorded by Bo White (Calabi Yau, Yardwork, Black Congo NC), the EP will bear the Kinnikinnik imprint and will be celebrated with a Nov. 30 release party at Snug Harbor. Matthew Paul Butler opens with his full band, The Beards of Power.
