This reading of Rocky Horror focuses on that music, and features a cast of local music luminaries. Watch for my interview\/feature on the show in Mountain Xpress<\/i>\u2019 Oct. 19 issue. Double Love and the Trouble opens.<\/p>\n

\nI saw this experimental band in a small club in Chapel Hill nearly 15 years ago (reviewed here<\/a>). At that time they were celebrating their 25th<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/sup> anniversary. Now the band is approaching the 40 year mark. Their musical character is a kind of combination of goth, Bowie and Psychedelic Furs, though they don\u2019t draw overtly from any of those; they\u2019re merely reference points for what is a decidedly unclassifiable band. Orbit Service opens.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/30do_caitlin_krisko.jpg\")

\nVenue<\/b>: Asheville Music Hall<\/a>

\nI first interviewed Krisko some seven years ago<\/a>; I sensed even then that The Broadcast (as they were still billed in those days) was more than anything a vehicle for her individual musical ambitions. Same \u2013 and even moreso \u2013 in 2020<\/a>. So the inevitable re-branding of this Asheville-based group has finally come to pass, with her name bigger than the band\u2019s, and the \u201cabout the band\u201d section of the website focusing solely upon…guess who. (To be fair, their names are listed, albeit below a huge photo of the band\u2019s star; see above). All that said, they\u2019re a solid, soulful band with no shortage of talent in the songwriting and vocal department, so success is well-earned and deserved.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/30do_alvvays.jpg\")

\nIt was way back in 2014 that I first saw Alvvays, at the now-sadly-gone Mothlight. I was impressed then with the band\u2019s musical approach. As fine as their original material was and continues to be, they truly won me over by displaying superlative taste in covering a Kirsty MacColl tune. The pride of Prince Edward Island, Canada, Alvvays (now based in Toronto) makes appealing indie pop. The group is led by singer-songwriter Molly Rankin; her family has a long and proud tradition of Celtic folk. The group is touring in support of its third long-player, Blue Rev<\/i>. Slow Pulp opens.<\/p>\n
