GET READY | New Year's Eve with ELECTROLUST and Auspicious Golden Fish
2025-12-25 - 2025-12-26 | The Grey Eagle, 185 Clingman Ave, Asheville, NC, United States
December 31 | Doors: 8:00 PM | Show: 9:00 PM | From 26.86 Event Details and Tickets
Asheville’s own Auspicious Golden Fish starts the night. Swimming in an ocean of sound, Auspicious Golden Fish weaves together searing guitar riffs, hypnotic synth textures, and deep funk grooves into a transcendent musical experience. Guitarist/producer Jamie Hendrickson (The Fritz/ElectroLust) assembles a revolving lineup of all-star musicians that bring his compositions to life. The result is a sonic journey—one that invites listeners to dissolve the ego, embrace the present moment, and dance into higher states of consciousness.
Later, step into the soundwaves of Electro Lust, and suddenly you’re whisked away, careening from the neon-lit confines of a Miami nightclub, drifting to the sun-soaked sands of a Brazilian beach, and finally landing amidst the vibrant chaos of Cuban streets. All the while, the soundtrack to this journey is an eclectic hip-hop mix tape, a melodic manifesto that defies convention and invites you to lose yourself in the raw energy of the Electro Lust experience. Strap in and let the music guide you through this electrifying tapestry of sound and sensation.
At the core of Electro Lust beats the hearts of Grammy Award-winning artists from Asheville, NC’s musical scene – Members of Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band, The Fritz, Empire Strikes Brass, & Marcus King Band. Their odyssey into the realms of Funk, Latin, Cuban, and Afrobeat reads like a musical adventure, spawned from encounters with diverse cultures while on the road and under the influence of vinyl treasures unearthed in record shops scattered across the nation.
