Trekky Records presents: Carolina Jubilee | A SXSW Day Party

Trekky Records is proud to commemorate our first trip to the annual South By Southwest Festival with our very own day party! Carolina Jubilee will be an afternoon-long celebration of the music of North Carolina, curated by Trekky Records. Co-sponsored by Merge Records, Holidays For Quince, Churchkey and 307 Knox, the showcase will be a great communion of bands and friends from The Old North State. Festival-goers and free-loaders alike can come see for themselves if there is indeed "something in the water" in North Carolina. Details below:

Video: Embarrassing Fruits - "Car" @ The Green Burro

Back in September 2009, Embarrassing Fruits took part in something called The Dot Matrix Project, a multimedia documentation effort based in Greensboro, NC. Fruits played a full set in The Gate City at the since-closed Green Burro while a team of photographers and filmers documented the event. The live video is finally available and features the new song "Car", which will appear on the band's upcoming followup to last year's Community / Exploitation. Also, check out the still photographs below. Thanks to The Dot Matrix Project for their hard work!
