I can’t believe more people haven’t been talking about this show, but Ghostface Killah (you know, from Wu-Tang) is coming to Asheville Music Hall on May 17 backed by a 9 piece live band, Adrian Younge’s Venice Dawn. How is that not going to be awesome? Anyway, NPR has a first listen of their new album. Check it.

What to do on a Friday night?
Lots of stuff going down tonight. I suggest you get your wilding in before St. Paddy’s day when all the amateurs come out to pretend they are still young. One dude who is not young, but can out-rock you any day is Lance Wille. His new band, Impossible Vacation with Sarah Brown and Todd Weakly of Hope & Anchor, is playing at Toy Boat tonight with Des Ark (solo/electric). I don’t...

He's My Brother She's My Sister, Paper Bird, and...
Last night Grandma brought this traveling roadshow to the new-ish Isis Restaurant and Music Hall in West Asheville. The house was packed despite the frosty weather. He’s My Brother She’s My Sister and Paper Bird both put on fabulous performances, but Shakey Graves was my favorite. There is something about a one-man band that warms my heart, second only to a two-person band. Last...

navy black: Tame Impala at the Orange Peel: show... →
allimarshall: This review was originally published at mountainx.com. Photos by Rich Orris. The way last Friday’s Tame Impala show (at The Orange Peel) opened (at least from my vantage point) was with a halo of green-gold light exploding just behind the head of guitarist Dominic Simper, while front…

Elevate: Really Dope Music Festival with Dead Prez
It’s been over a year since The Knock Brothers brought hip-hop icons Dead Prez to the Grey Eagle, but it seems like they should be here more often given their politically-minded vegan ways. It is a welcome return for those of us who love hip-hop because it is one genre that is too often missing in our mountain town. I wasn’t able to make it last year, but my sources tell me it was a...
