Mac & Laura did a reading/performance Tuesday at The Regulator Bookshop in Durham, NC. There was a great turnout, and Mac covered a Matt Suggs song and a Lambchop song in addition to the two Superchunk songs he and Laura performed.
Triangle Music has a review and video of the event as does the Duke Chronicle. More Our Noise events are happening this week, and in the near future, so stay tuned!
Triangle Music also has video from the Quail Ridge event last night. Mac & Laura played Superchunk’s “Foolish,” and Mac covered Arcade Fire and The Magnetic Fields.
