Setting is Nathan Bowles (solo/trio, Pelt, Black Twig Pickers) on strings, keys, and percussion; Jaime Fennelly (Mind Over Mirrors, Peeesseye) on harmoniums, synthesizers, and piano zither; and Joe Westerlund (solo, Califone, Sylvan Esso, Jake Xerxes Fussell) on drums, percussion, and metallophones. Hybrid of acoustic and electronic instrumentation

Wind Cults is the Asheville trio of Brett Naucke (electronics), Thom Nguyen (drums), and Adam Lion (vibraphone). A sonic mishmash of cacophony, harmony, density and repetition, the group embodies musical extremes which branch in every direction.

None shall perish. The Eulogy has been written. It has taken many months and many talented minds in and around Burial to get here, but we now have shows at our Buxton Avenue music venue in Asheville’s South Slope. Affectionately named, ‘Eulogy’, the space is located in the building adjacent to our original taproom, above the current Bottle Shop. Check out our future offerings at eulogyavl.com

Splash Blade adventures have spanned cross each province of Mythica & have included collaborations with Magic Box, Solar Necklace, Intel Relic, High Farseer Di-Bologen & many others.

Mike Holmes, aka Nostalgianoid, is a black queer multidisciplinary artist from Asheville, NC. Music has been a passion for them for as long as they can remember, and for more than half of their life, played in various projects ranging across genres along with creating their own music through different mediums.

Ideal Self is the captivating brainchild of Frances and Lee X. Davis. The duo’s songwriting showcases rich and intricate electronic arrangements, propelled by driving synthesizers and pulsating drum machines. Frances’ ethereal vocals add a mesmerizing touch.

None shall perish. The Eulogy has been written. It has taken many months and many talented minds in and around Burial to get here, but we now have shows at our Buxton Avenue music venue in Asheville’s South Slope, affectionately named, ‘Eulogy’. Check out all of our future offerings at eulogyavl.com
