3/28/10 - From 40 NIGHTS OF ROCK & ROLL - "We are super-psyched to announce that two of the baddest ladies in rock & roll—Melissa Swingle and Laura King, of face-melting guitar & drums duo The Moaners—have been confirmed for 40 Nights of Rock & Roll! I’ve been a huge fan of their creepy brand of grungy Delta-blues metal since I heard their 2005 debut, Dark Snack, and ended up profiling them for Paste one freezing-ass winter night in Asheville, N.C. If you still haven’t heard them, you gotta check ‘em out. We’ll be filming them in their hometown of Chapel Hill, N.C., on Saturday, May 8. Location tbd."
