Eulogy Presents: GRRL x Made of Oak with DJ Lil Meow Meow
Dec 22 @ 8:00 pm – Dec 23 @ 12:00 am

Doors 8PM || Show 9PM

Free Show

James Mapley-Brittle (GRRL) and Nick Sanborn (Made of Oak, Sylvan Esso) make and spin very different music but often end up playing the same parties, thanks to the eclecticism of the North Carolina dance scene. After a conversation they had one day surrounding a shared obsession with peak-hour club music, Sanborn wondered about a collaboration.

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
