Trouble in Paradise

Local record label Trouble in Mind teams up with Chapel Hill, North Carolina-based Paradise of Bachelors to present the three-day Trouble in Paradise festival at the Empty Bottle, featuring acts pulled from the ranks of each label's diverse roster. The party starts on Thursday night with a showcase of local acts, including post-punk noisemakers FACS and Negative Scanner. On Friday, the mood gets folk-y, with sets from the Weather Station, Olden Yolk and Gun Outfit. Finally, Saturday brings angular rockers Omni and Nova Scotian guitar pop outfit Nap Eyes to the stage. If you're not embracing nostalgia at Riot Fest, you'll find plenty of fresh faces at this expertly-curated mini-fest.
