Artist<\/b>: Supatight<\/a>\nVenue<\/b>: Asheville Music Hall<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, June 16, 10 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $10
\nThe pan-youknowwhat resulted in more than a few music venues shuttering. Happily, the Asheville Music Hall and its downstairs counterpart the One Stop made it through, and this grand re-opening show is in celebration of that. Now, if (like me) the last year has seen you recalibrating your sleep patterns to accommodate an earlier bedtime, note that AMH\u2019s practice of starting late-ish (in this case, 10 p.m.) is once again in effect. The do sell that awful Red Bull toilet cleaner liquid at the bar, though. By the way, Supatight mixes soul, funk, disco, pop, reggae and (what?) country. King Garbage opens.<\/p>\n

Artist<\/b>: Min Xiao-Fen<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Orange Peel<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Wednesday, June 30, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $10
\nI can\u2019t begin to express just how fascinating this is. Min plays the pipa, a traditional Chinese instrument. She has composed a score to The Goddess, a silent film from the golden age of Chinese cinema. The Cultural Revolution attempted to cancel (ugh<\/i>) this \u201cdecadent\u201d film; Min\u2019s modern-day score matches its beauty. The performance \u2013 featuring guitarist Rez Abbasi \u2013 will be simultaneous with a screening of the film. My upcoming story\/interview in Mountain Xpress<\/i> will hip you to more details and the backstory. See you there!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/30do_lovebubble.jpg\")
Artist<\/b>: Love Bubble<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Thursday, July 1, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $15
\nIndividually, in duos and as a trio Peggy Ratusz, Hank Bones and Paula Hanke have long been at the forefront of the region\u2019s music scene; Love Bubble is their latest project. Love Bubble had the misfortune of debuting in December 2019, so they only had a show or two before the world stopped. But hey, now they\u2019re back. And so are you. Even if you\u2019ve seen these fine performers before, this is an album release show, so expect lots of new material.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/30do_dots.jpg\")
Artist<\/b>: Dots<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Sly Grog Lounge<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Thursday, July 1, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: free
\nLorem ipsum. Also on the bill: Her Pilots, Thieveslikeus.
\nThis Atlanta band has an interesting sound that seems to draw both form the conventional guitar-band aesthetic as well as form the more glitchy, synth\/effects side of things a la<\/i> Radiohead. Good vocal arrangements, too. Worth watching. And congrats to The Sly Grog on a successful post-youknowwhat relaunch.<\/p>\n
