Dark City Kings work to marry the garage rock of the Asheville underground with the mountain music of this region. This is Black Mountain flirting music. We are heartache, raucous sing-alongs, indie pop, Irish music, country music, get up and dance, and then make-out with your baby at the dark end of the bar. We are fans of Lucinda Williams and Blondie, The Waterboys and The Cure.
