Editorial Review for Cat's Cradle – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
It's not uncommon for hugely popular acts that usually play in area-sized venues to sneak in under assumed names to play for a smaller, hipper crowd. Bands from across the country don't have to be cajoled to play here--they ask to. Why? The crowd, usually made up of music-savvy clubgoers and Chapel Hill musicians, turns out in force for performances. And the schedule isn't limited to one genre. One night, a ska band might play, while the next night is a hip-hop act.

Insider Tips

Parking

Don't park in Visart's spaces--they'll tow you. You can park in the town lot across from the Armadillo or at Weaver Street Market if it's late enough.

Know Before You Go

Don't wait until the show has sold out--you can get advance tickets online from etix.com or from area record stores, including various Schoolkids locations.

The Extras

Gig's over, but you're not ready to call it a night? Head down to the Orange County Social Club and count the rock stars.

Staff at CC is appallingly puritanical, especially for such a low class venue. Bow to the almighty "vip" list to get into their D-list shows. Trashy venue not worth the time, money, or the hype. Can I select "zero" stars?

Pros: None

Cons: Slummy Staff

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
