From The Independent:

For the first time, Carrboro hotspot Orange County Social Club (OCSC) is hosting a live music event.  Local musicians Ron Liberti (The Ghost of Rock) and Groves Willer (Shark Quest, Evil Weiner) started their own record label, Hypno-Vista Records, which so far released a wonderful EP by duo Work Clothes as well as a single by TGOR, which features graphic artist Liberti’s memorable sleeve art.  Besides being a Hypno-Vista showcase, the event celebrates the release of a disc by longtime local alternative legends Mind Sirens, whose tunes have been described by a local rock pundit as “mind-blowingly great in a weird, quavery Southern-psych-gothic kind of way.”  Since the late 80’s, vocalist/visionary Brian Butler has cut a wide path (overgrown and at times hard to follow, but a path nonetheless) through the local music scene.  The album, a cool artifact of the Chapel Hill indie-rock scene, features the groups early, hard-to-find singles (on Jettison Records) along with some previously unreleased recordings.  This Sunday, July 28^th, starting at 5pm, TGOR, Cantwell, Gomez and Jordan, Work Clothes, and Mind Sirens will set up in the OCSC parking lot (behind the club) and perform for your listening pleasure.  Call 933-0669 for details.  – Angie Carlson

Sunday, July 28

Mind Sirens, Cantwell, Gomez, Jordan, The Ghost of Rock, Work Clothes

Orange County Social Club, Carrboro

Local show of the week. This is a big party shindig thing for

Hypno-Vista Records, which is the brainchild of Ron Liberti & Groves

Willer. As you can see by the lineup, they've locked in a big chunk of

the Chapel Hill/Carrboro/Chatham talent pool--these are four great

bands, at least three of which are probably way too loud to be playing

in that little converted former office space next to Acme. So get

there early (starts at 8:00), dig into the catered spread from The

Barbeque Joint (best BBQ in the tri-county area), and wait around for

the noise complaints to start rolling in. Even if worse comes to

worst, you'll still get to hear a beautiful set by the prudently quiet

Work Clothes, who were brilliant last week & who get better every time I see them.  – Ross Grady

From The Spectator:

GHOST OF ROCK, WORK CLOTHES, MIND SIRENS, CANTWELL, GOMEZ & JORDAN -- This show is a record release party for the new Mind Sirens record that is coming out on the newly-birthed local label Hypno-Vista. So the fine folks at Hypno-Vista (Ghost of Rock's Ron Liberti and Evil Wiener/Shark Quest's Groves Willer) decided to make it a showcase for the label's roster. The Ghost of Rock do the garage thing well, Work Clothes represents the softer side of the indie rock spectrum (they remind me of Unrest), the Mind Sirens are old school indie rock replete with guitar noodling and Cantwell, Gomez & Jordan defy categorization. All this all takes place at Carrboro's popular watering hole -- OCSC -- while the sun is still up (5 p.m. start time). Orange County Social Club.
