Here's what the Indpendent says about us:
When Misha Angrist entered his daughter's first grade classroom at Durham's Club Boulevard Humanities Magnet School in 2006, he expected to find crayons and gluesticks. He didn't count on finding a pathway to his next band. Angrist was there to conduct a writing workshop for the kids but was surprised when one student wrote about his father's experience as a drummer with the former Chapel Hill band Sex Police. "I got a little freaked out about that, but the kid's mom was right there and she explained that his dad, Jody Maxwell, was a drummer and the story was true," says Angrist. "She suggested that I call Jody, so I did."
After Angrist and Maxwell met up, Angrist knew he wanted to form a band and started scouting out other parents at Club Boulevard School. Soon enough, Angrist had a five-piece band with four of the members having kids at Club Boulevard. The band's sound, a rich blend of harmonies and acoustic guitars mingling with pulsing drumbeats, adds edge to Americana expectations.
"We all like rootsy music, whether it's from Lucinda Williams to X to Big Star or even the New Pornographers, that rootsy, guitar-based music," says Angrist. "But the tie that really binds us is that we all try to write really good songs, and that sets the bar pretty high, whether we're doing roots, punk or pushing into a more jazzy direction." —Kathy Justice
Sea Cow is a five-piece band based in Durham, NC. It plays original, rootsy guitar-based rock with rich vocal harmonies and bile-filled-yet-whimsical lyrics. The band's first CD, The Vast Uncharted, was recorded by Stratocruiser’s Mike Nicholson and features a stirring guest performance by Tres Chicas and ex-Whiskeytown fiddler Caitlin Cary.

"Curious, friendly, and social -- he'd be a great Parrot Head" ~Save the Manatee Club on Margarito
Margarito, 24 and son of Lily, can be found hanging out at Blue Springs State Park during the winter. The warm waters of Blue Springs are an attractive refuge for Margarito and other manatees.
(Blue Spring State Park in Florida)
Margarito also stayed at Sea World where he was treated for flipper entanglement. After his release, another encounter with fishing line outside the Blue Spring area severed his right flipper. The scars on his back were caused by boats.
(Margarito)
Despite these horrific accidents, the still handsome Margarito has somehow adapted to life with only one flipper. He has learned to eat, swim, play and otherwise get along. He travels with his good friend Brutus and continues to return to Blue Spring each winter.
(He and his mother were adopted in 2005 to a human sponsor through the Save the Manatee Club.)
