Local bands rock for Obama

Barack Obama wants to rock the (early) vote.
The Democratic presidential candidate's campaign will host an "N.C. Rocks for Change" event in Asheville and Chapel Hill.
The Chapel Hill concert will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 1, at Graham Terrace, next door to the early voting site at Morehead Planetarium.
It features legendary North Carolina band The dBs, acoustic Superchunk and Mac McCaughan side project Portastatic, Ivan Rosebud, Megafaun, I Was Totally Destroying It, Bowerbirds, Greg Humphreys and Regina Hexaphone.
The same bands will perform in Asheville.
No tickets are required, and attendees will be treated to coffee and doughnuts.
Incidentally, someone with the Obama campaign shares the tastes of N&O music critic David Menconi, who included Megafaun, I Was Totally Destroying It and Bowerbirds on his annual "Great Eight" list of local bands earlier this year.
