Moogfest announces local acts

The latest rollout of bands slated to perform at Moogfest this April includes a dozen local acts. They’re mixed in with the 80-plus national and international acts who will perform in the evenings during the festival. And that’s cool, because we think our local artists should be featured alongside the likes of M.I.A., Nile Rodgers and YACHT.

But they also deserve a spotlight. So, if you’re heading to Moogfest during its April 23-27 run, be sure to check out DJs Brett Rock, Earthtone Soundsystem, In Plain Sight and Kri & Amos Gaynes; electronic duos Razor & Blade, BomBassic and Two Fresh (pictured below), indie-electro-soul outfit RBTS WIN, electro-pop projects The Jellyrox and The Volt Per Octaves and experimental groups Hello Hugo and Tin Foil Hat.

And here’s our local Moogfest mix tape, Vol. 1:

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.
