Mary Chicken Soup & Rice

Mary Chicken Soup And Rice (MCSR) is the immersive rock-and-roll theater of LA-based musician, playwright, and filmmaker Matthew Dunehoo. A channeled trickster spirit in smeared face paint and tattered suits, MCSR delivers purgatorial theatrics—part psychedelic séance, part manic episode, part communal ritual—driven by live electric guitar, squawking vocals, and alien choir backtracks. Debut album “Que Linda” honors his late mother Linda, who painted the cover before passing from ovarian cancer in 2024. Gray Young Since 2006, Raleigh’s Gray Young has been the ultimate post-punk conundrum. Somewhere in between soaring, atmospheric riffs and nuanced, delicate melodies, the band navigates extremes within a moment’s notice. Gray Young’s songs seethe with intensity and susceptibility. But where mellow, atmospheric rock fades out of focus, Gray Young emerges in technicolor, wielding energetic bass lines, propulsive rhythms and intricate chord progressions that flow seamlessly. Gray Young’s music is a constant push and pull between calm and chaos, and every climactic swell bears the power of a riptide.
