Merge Records turns 35, Durham indie label celebrates
It all began when Mac McCaughan, a young musician who had moved to Durham as a teenager and spent his college years between Colombia University and Chapel Hill, started a band called Chunk with his then-girlfriend, bassist Laura Ballance. The band became Superchunk, which lit the fuse for Merge Records. That was 35 years ago, and today, Merge is easily one of the country’s most influential independent music labels. At a time when DIY meant doing it yourself without the internet, streaming platforms, social media and modern recording technology, the term “indie” carried a more punk-like ethos and hadn’t yet been fabricated and co-opted going the way of “grunge.”
Spring Theatre to Present URINETOWN Next Weekend
Spring Theatre is gearing up for a high energy weekend filled with singing, dancing, and lots of laughs. Urinetown is a hilarious and socially-conscious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. A joyful and biting socio-political satire, Urinetown is set in fictional yet not-so-distant future in which a 20-year drought has crippled the world's water supply, and rising tensions spark class warfare between the rebelling poor and the corporate elite -- all set to music which serves as a love letter to Broadway.
