Asheville’s ‘60s Garage Rock Scene: An Oral History (Part 1)
In Part 1 of our weeklong series digging deeper into Asheville’s nearly-forgotten teenage rock ‘n’ roll scene in the ‘60s, the Satyrs reminisce about their local garage rock rivals (e.g. the Fabulous Wunz, Bee Bumble and the Stingers, the Centurions, etc.), the “lost recordings,” and the inspiration behind those beloved screams and moans in “Don’t Be Surprised.”
My Side of the Mountain: The Critters
The Critters’ “Visions of Light” is an infectiously gritty take on melodic psych-pop. This weekend, the band celebrates the EP’s official release with an acoustic instore at Harvest Records, followed by a raw and rowdy electric set at The Get Down. Xpress brings you this exclusive performance in advance of Saturday’s doubleheader.
