A Very Get Sad Y’all Return
We've survived the apocalypse and your favorite emo night, Get Sad Y'all, is back in Durham at Motorco on 9/4/2021. Think back to a time when Skrillex was just Sonny, Warped Tour still existed, and Fuse ruled the airwaves. When hair was swooped, pants were tight, belts were studded, and shoes were checkered... Break out that old band tee and come sing your heart out, dance (dance), and most importantly, remember that everything is alright as we spin all the…

Duke Performances presents The Veldt @ American Tobacco
Easy categorizations don’t work for Raleigh and New York-rooted indie rock progenitors The Veldt, but the band’s signature blend of shoegaze and soul situates its sonic and political project: a Black-led group — begun in and around Chapel Hill in 1986 by brothers Daniel and Danny Chavis — making unprecedented alt-pop-rock experiments in a predominately white field. (And turning this position into a broader critique — see their 2007 album White Music for Black People, released under the name Apollo Heights.)…

Bianca Del Rio is a dimple-cheeked, larger-than-life drag queen and outrageous comic who isn’t afraid to shock and offend.

All along her Unsanitized Comedy Tour, America’s funniest drag superstar and self-proclaimed “clown in a gown” will bring her snarky frankness, impeccable timing and politically…

Duke Performances presents Rissi Palmer @ American Tobacco
Rissi Palmer’s self-termed “Southern Soul,” a sound interweaving R&B, gospel, and country, launched her into the mainstream as the first Black woman to chart a country song (2007’s “Country Girl”) since 1987. Her trailblazing trajectory since has centered a counter-history of country music, both in her own recordings — Revival, her 2019 album, is her most poignant personal-political statement to date — and her stewardship of the genre through Color Me Country, an Apple Music radio show focused on the…

Duke Performances presents Skylar Gudasz @ American Tobacco
Skylar Gudasz’s signature structured lilt is crisp enough to cut a soft evening breeze and tender enough to mimic it. Performing from an upstairs window at the Carolina Theatre on Halloween last year, she filled the downtown airwaves with the celestial noir of her lauded sophomore release, Cinema: “Like the sun, I get down / Drape the day in a midnight black gown.” In this outdoor performance, expect to hear samples of the next sonic shape-shift for this Durham stalwart…
