Description

$ 15 adv/dos (masks required, vaccination & negative test before arrival strongly recommended) Doors @ 7:30 Music @ 8 Wednesday Asheville's heart of gold. Wednesday owes so much to our musical influences. The music we love is a big part of what brought us together. My bandmates Margo and Xandy both had infamous Asheville house show venues, Jake was in like a billion different bands which often played in their muggy basements and Alan was usually the one who brought the PA. Our immersion in music predated us trying to make songs together ourselves. Our common interests in noisey ‘90s guitars, good lyrics, and country music was quickly what permeated into our voice as a band. Most decisions in our songs are made by an amalgamation of all five of our inputs, which happens pretty naturally because of this thread of influences that ties us together. --Karly Hartzman GIFT (NYC) GIFT is the budding recording project of artist and multi-instrumentalist TJ Freda, joined by Jessica Gurewitz, Kallan Campbell, Justin Hrabovsky, and Cooper Naess. Born in Boston and matured in Brooklyn NY, GIFT’s lysergic cocktail brings bright impressions of NEU! and Stereolab. Started in January 2020, GIFT quickly became one of Brooklyn's favorite psych outfits with their kaleidoscopic live shows. Blending heavy pop sensibilities with psych filled improvisational jams. The name GIFT stems from sharing the present, being in the moment. GIFT released their well received debut single “Strange” a week before a global pandemic, a serendipitous event given the themes of the song: finding the light in times of darkness. GIFT’s work has continued in Freda's home studio with a debut album slated for release in 2022. Walkhome https://walkhome.bandcamp.com/ Lavender Blue Lavender Blue is the performing and songwriting alias of guitarist and producer Kayla Zuskin. She wrote, recorded and produced her most recent EP Slow Down which was released in January of 2022. Her music is best described as lullaby punk. Located in Asheville, NC, Lavender Blue is also a music teacher, an engineer/producer, and multi-instrumentalist.
