With each edition of \u201c30 Days Out,\u201d I endeavor to shine a light on noteworthy music events in and around Asheville. I generally include at least one local or region artist, as there are many deserving of your attention. This time, however, I\u2019m taking a quick look at four nationally-touring acts, all of which are too good to miss. But please know that there\u2019s plenty of great, locally-made music happening this month as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: The Church<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, April 7, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $35
\nThough they\u2019re most often associated with the \u201880s, The Church have remained vital and compelling to present day. The lineup has changed since the heyday of, well, Heyday<\/i> and Gold Afternoon Fix<\/i>, but Steve Kilbey\u2019s mesmerizing vocals and lyrics \u2013 and the band\u2019s entrancing psychedelic swirl \u2013 still thrill. The band\u2019s latest, The Hypnogogue<\/i> is a concept album. Keep an eye out for my interview with Kilbey, coming soon. Meanwhile, here\u2019s one from some years back<\/a>. And here\u2019s another<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Skinny Puppy<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Orange Peel<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Saturday, April 15, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $35
\nHowever you might feel about industrial music, there\u2019s no denying that it\u2019s a musical force to be reckoned with. And I reckon that if you listen to any of it, you have to acknowledge that Skinny Puppy were among the founders of the style. Making music since 1982, the Vancouver outfit isn\u2019t likely to be the first stop for those looking for ear candy, but there\u2019s no denying their importance. Skinny Puppy\u2019s last new release was a decade ago, 2013\u2019s universally-acclaimed Weapon<\/i>. Lead Into Gold opens.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: The New Pornographers<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Salvage Station<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Wednesday, April 19, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $30 advance \/ $35 day of show
\nA singer-songwriter supergroup, The New Pornographers only get together and do something when they feel they have the material for it. Seeing them live is like buying a ticket to a showcase featuring four superb individuals, any of whom could command your attention for the entire evening.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: The Sadies<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Thursday, April 20, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $16
\nI had the pleasure of witnessing The Sadies live onstage at the Yep Roc festival more than a decade ago. The group combines the best of country and rock, with a thrilling instrumental attack. Co-leader Dallas Good tragically passed away last year, but the band continues without him.<\/p>\n

See you at the show!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
