Troika Music Festival lineup announced!

Troika is a wonderful music festival that has been happening in Durham, NC, for many years now. The 2009 lineup was announced today and we are proud to share that our own Embarrassing Fruits is playing this year. There are too many amazing bands appearing to list here, but if you need quick convincing, our friends Bowerbirds, Hammer No More the Fingers, Bellafea, Veelee and Mount Moriah are all on the list, so get excited. The festival is November 5-7 and passes go on sale August 15.

Embarrassing Fruits featured on The State of Things

The State of Things, a wonderful radio show on local NPR affiliate WUNC, recently broadcast a great feature on music from North Carolina. A lot of great bands were mentioned and we were pleasantly surprised to hear a few words about our very own Embarrassing Fruits. Listen to the whole show here.
