A whole lot is happening in Asheville during these next 30 days. This time around, I\u2019m featuring four touring groups, all of which I\u2019ve interviewed at one time or another (or more). The cover a wide watch of the musical spectrum, too. And don\u2019t miss the acts that aren\u2019t top-billed; at least two of them (as noted below) are extra-special as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Pylon Reenactment Society<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Eulogy<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, April 19, 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $22
\nWhen we think back to the creatively fertile Athens music scene of the 1980s, several names come to mind. At the top of the list are the three big ones: R.E.M., the B-52\u2019s\u2026 and Pylon<\/a>. Fast forward a bunch of decades, and lead singer Vanessa Briscoe Hay leads a group of talented friends in a project that builds on her old group\u2019s work. Much more than an exercise in nostalgia, PRS is a compelling group that uses Pylon\u2019s aesthetic as a jumping-off point for modern music. Go see \u2018em! I interviewed the group in 2017<\/a>. PINKEYE and Minorcan are also on the bill.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Jonathan Scales Fourchestra<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Asheville Music Hall<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Thursday, May 9, 9 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $15
\nWhen I interviewed composer and musician Jonathan Scales several years ago (two<\/a> times<\/a> in 2017 and then again the following year<\/a> \u2013 I knew that while he was local then, he was destined to break out in a big way. These days, I believe he\u2019s based in NYC, but Asheville is fortunate to have him include his old hometown on tour itineraries. His music is progressive jazz, with instrumentation that sets him on the edge of the form. Great stuff. The phenomenal After Ours<\/a> \u2013 makers of one of my favorite albums of 2023<\/a> \u2013 open the show.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Primus<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Rabbit Rabbit<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Wednesday, May 8, 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $45
\nI must admit that when I first saw Primus, I didn\u2019t \u201cget it.\u201d But Les Claypool\u2019s subsequent work with Sean Lennon<\/a> helped me gain an appreciation for his music. Whacked out prog with a wickedly humorous bent that rivals Frank Zappa, Primus is not for everyone. But they just might be for you. I interviewed Claypool<\/a> in 2022. All Them Witches \u2013 whom I interviewed way back in 2017<\/a> \u2013 open.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Destroy Boys<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Orange Peel<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Tuesday, May 14, 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $25
\nFrom Sacramento comes one of the more compelling later-day punk outfits, a vehicle for Alexia Roditis\u2019 barbed and pointed, socially aware lyrics. Catchy melodies, those smart lyrics and an authentic punk vibe add up to something special. I interviewed the group in 2021<\/a>. Margaritas Podridas and Chokecherry are also on the bill.<\/p>\n

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