ARCHERS OF LOAF this SATURDAY MAY 12 @ KINGS BARCADE with PIPE



Archers of Loaf fall into a category of adoration and familiarity for those of us who grew up in and around the triangle.  Other bands such as Hobex, Johnny Quest, Dillon Fence and many more share a spot alongside Chapel Hill's Archers of Loaf.  Back in their hay day, before the term "indie rock" was beaten like a dead horse, they would best be described as alternative rock and roll with a sound hard enough to bang your head and pump your fist to with the dance accessibility.

 In 1996,  after the release of their third album All the Nations Airports and extensive touring supporting it, Archers of Loaf held on for one final Record, White Trash Heroes.  Soon after,  they took a much needed  sabbatical of sorts in search of what direction they needed to take as a band and as individuals.  Guitarist Eric  Bachman went on to form Crooked Fingers and played temporarily with Band of Horses when they exploded onto the scene back in the mid 2000's. 

Archers of Loaf reunited in 2011 and from what it looks like, may be around for a while.  See one the areas finest and favorites at Kings Barcade this Saturday night!
