We cant wait to play some live music for you all again Asheville!! Soooo looking forward to this NYE show with Pink Beds! Grab a ticket and come support local Asheville musicians and one of our favorite venues in town!! Lets do this!
Welcome to the world of Electro Lust! Where Electronic Funk pulses through the veins, entwined with a stampede of live Beats and Brass into the realms of Funk, Latin, Cuban, and Afrobeat. At the core of Electro Lust beats the hearts of Grammy Award-winning artists from Asheville, NC’s musical scene – Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band, The Fritz, and Empire Strikes Brass.
Pink Beds is an electro-indie rock band that sits at the intersection of spacious grooves and lush song crafting. Pink Beds blend all of their influences into something new that rises above the nameless, faceless blur of generic indie rock emanating from NYC to L.A. and not enough places in between.
We are dedicated to the preservation of Shag Dance and the Music that supports this.
We provide full backline–drum kit, amps, piano, keys, and PA with mics/inputs. The jam is hosted by Chris Cooper and Friends, who play for the first half hour or so, and then the jam opens up.
Join us for a very special New Year’s Eve celebration with the one and only Free Flow Band!
According to the Mountain Xpress, the Free Flow Band members are the “The Guardians of Funk, and an Irresistible Dance Party that draws fans from across generations and social groups and if you ask their fans, they will tell you Free Flow is a dance band that doesn’t try to sound like anyone but Free Flow.” Free Flow’s line up of musicians reads like a who’s who of the best Funk Bands ever to grace North Carolina.
