Babe Haven and Sweet Spine with Paper Pills @ Eulogy
Feb 17 @ 8:00 pm – Feb 18 @ 12:00 am

Doors 7PM || Show 8PM || $17.63 adv. Event Details and Tickets

Babe Haven is a high-energy all-girl queer punk band that riots in Central NC, with a sound that is both playful and fierce. They draw heavily from the raw, unpolished sound of the 90’s- grunge, punk, hardcore, and riot grrrl.

SWEET SPINE is an exciting new three-piece band making a splash in South Carolina. Channeling the sound of energetic rock mixed with hauntingly serene melodies, the unsuspecting young trio have captured the attention of the East Coast scene as a bona fide indie phenom and the brightest new faces in the Shoegaze and Alt-Rock space.

Paper Pills is a trans/queer fronted alt rock group from Asheville with musical influences of emo, disco, indie rock, and shoegaze.

Eulogy – A Portal of Sound on the grounds of Burial Beer, Asheville’s South Slope. Open nightly with full bar. Check out our upcoming offerings of events at eulogyavl.com

Boat Command & Secret B-Sides @ One World Brewing - West
Feb 17 @ 8:00 pm – 11:00 pm

Described by some as ‘post-lofi yacht hop’, Boat Command’s sound is rooted in jazz and fusion, informed by more modern hip hop and electronic music.

Secret B-Sides is a long standing collective of local musicians known for lyrical, space traveling dinosaur references–over smooth grooves and fat beats. Led by singer-songwriter Juan Holladay and bassist Shayne Heather, the ever expanding number of rotating members in this band threatens to slowly engulf the Asheville music scene like a T-Rex eating a jumbo sized pizza with extra-extra cheese.

Doors 7PM || Show 8PM || $18.19 adv. Event Details and Tickets

The Nashville trio consists of past members from indie outfits The Weight and Silver Jews, and, as their name suggests, have a raw country sound. Released by Fat Possum Records in 2020, their self-titled debut album was praised by Pitchfork for being “ragged in all the right places” and landed a spot on the publication’s ‘35 Best Rock Albums of the Year’ list.

Forged in the mountains of Boone, RUGG is a heavy psychedelic trio that deals in the visceral and raw. They blend the ideas of past and present heroes with their own unique flavor of psych-rock to create a sound that’s just as engaging as it is entrancing.

Eulogy – A Portal of Sound on the grounds of Burial Beer, Asheville’s South Slope. Open nightly with full bar. Check out our upcoming offerings of events at eulogyavl.com
