After a brief hiatus, WKNC’s recording program, Sessions@KNC, is

being revived by new director Eric Scholz.

On Sunday, May 3, Mikey P, Mike Gray, and Eric Scholz met up with Simple,

the aptly named minimalist band from Carrboro, NC, outside Caldwell Hall

on campus. Although it took a while to reason their way into the

building, the superior sonic characteristics of Caldwell Lounge would help

make this session a fun one. They set up a bunch of microphones and hit

the big red button as the band hammered out a short, simple and solid set.

Chip, the band’s guitarist and lead vocalist, claims that they plan on

releasing five of the tracks late this summer as a live limited-release

EP. So, if you’re lucky enough to catch Simple at a show late this

summer, look out for their release of these songs. Their next performance

is at Nightlight in Chapel Hill on June 5th at 10 PM.

Also, the five songs from the session are available for free download at

wknc.org/blog.

Sessions@KNC is a free vehicle for local artists to record music and be

heard. If you’re interested, send an email to [email protected] (Eric
