Now Tiger Mountain is getting in the prom game, and owner Sean tells me that he’s had a great response. It’s coming up on July 25. Here are the deets:
7/25: Prom Night with Gold Light – This has blow up fairly unexpectedly. Asheville has apparently been clamoring for another prom night. Live doo-wop and soul from Gold Light. The event page that I just put up and has more than 200 rsvps.
There’s plenty more hot music at Tiger Mountain, btw. Here’s a quick look:
7/20: Chain and the Gang with Charlie Megira – So rad Svenonius of The Make-Up is coming to town!
“Chain & the Gang is led by Svenonius, the prime mover behind the bands Nation of Ulysses and The Make-Up, and author of two books, Psychic Soviet and Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock ‘n’ Roll Group, not to mention online talk show host and auteur filmmaker. The band deals in a new genre called CRIME ROCK that updates rock ‘n’ roll, blues, and gospel music or vocal quartets from the late 50s /early 60s for the discerning few.”7/21: Plastic Pinks – High energy garage rock from Miami. Here is the world’s shortest documentary that happens to be about them: https://youtu.be/hX_y37zL-OY
7/24: The Toasters (!!!) – Old school, third-wave ska legends! This is going to be a sold out show for sure. I saw these guys like 10 times in high school haha… Here’s their Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Toasters
Anyways, I hope you can use some of this! Feel free to bug me anytime if you have any questions.The rest of our Tiger Mountain events are listed here.
