\nThose in the know view Genesis as having multiple eras. There\u2019s the progressive period with Peter Gabriel, the post-Gabriel \u201cincredible shrinking band\u201d period. And there\u2019s the pop era. Some people dig \u2018em all; I love the first two but have little interest in the latter, good as it sometimes is. But this superb Charlotte-based band tackles it all, and does it with style. They eschew the theatrics, but get the music right. And that\u2019s what\u2019s important.<\/p>\n

\nThis Marion-based group is something of a mystery. The band\u2019s online presence is murky at best, but the music they make \u2013 informed by psychedelia but with many other elements \u2013 is fascinating stuff. They rarely emerge from the mists, so this is an opportunity to see and hear them. The band\u2019s latest album, Cannibals of Unaka<\/i>, is as hazy, sludgy, mysterious and dark as anything they\u2019ve done. Planning for Burial and Nightosphere are also on the bill.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/30do_budosband.jpg\")

\nNot \u2013 as I have done \u2013 to be confused with The Beta Band, Staten Island-based Budos Band is a large ensemble of top-flight musicians who trade in a soulful style. Their instrumental music encompasses funk, r&b and psychedelia, and their history is intertwined with that of Sharon Jones and Charles Bradley, two great and sadly departed artists. When you turn out music like this, words are superfluous.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/30do_psycodelics.jpg\")

\nForthrightly defining their mission as a celebration of Black American music, this Charleston-based outfit is bubbling under. They were on the bill for the canceled-due-to-weather Bonnaroo Festival this year. But now there\u2019s an opportunity to see and here them in the new Third Room venue here in town. Kanika Moore opens.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/30do_platt.jpg\")

\nNot long before Helene destroyed our beloved Asheville Guitar Bar, Amanda joined me for a fun evening of discussion as part of my \u201cMusic to Your Ears\u201d series. I hope that series returns one day, but in the meantime, Amanda is out there with great original music. Even before the AGB event, I\u2019ve interviewed her many times: 2016<\/a>, 2017<\/a>, 2019<\/a> and 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n
