Face-melting vibraphone

Percussionist/vocalist Mike Dillon is one-third of punk/jazz trio Dead Kenny Gs; but the Mike Dillon Band (whose bio states, “We like to melt faces with the vibraphone”) is a different breed of band. Dillon plays that face-melting vibraphone in this punk-edged dance party quartet.

Here, they play “Lunatic Express”:

Dillon was just at Asheville Music Hall last month. Now he and his band return to open for Chicago-based jam band Strange Arrangement.

If you’ve got a spare 13 minutes, check out this video of Strange Arrangement performing at The Park West:

 

Thursday, Aug. 23 at Asheville Music Hall. 10 p.m. Advance tickets are $8, or $10 day of show. Or, you can win a pair of tickets to the show from Xpress, via Facebook, tomorrow in the noon hour.

Thanks for reading through to the end…

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we’ve never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.

We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
