Rosali opening solo for Superchunk ended up feeling like two distinct experiences that complemented each other in a way that made the whole night stronger.

Though Superchunk isn’t a household name, the Chapel Hill mainstay should be; aside from heading one of indie rock’s most consistent acts for nearly 40 years, Mac McCaughan is also the co-founder of the legendary Merge Records, a fact that should have every record store clerk

Superchunk's records from the past 20 years - and their electrifying live show - aren’t just echoes of their youth; they’re bridges between then and now.

To call Chapel Hill, NC indie rock mainstays Superchunk “an indie rock band” feels approximately like calling Michael Jordan “a basketball player” — while it's completely true, it's also leaving out enough context to almost be insulting.
