Soldiers Are Cutting Us Down

Thanks to all our friends and family that came out last night to the Boiler Room. It was our first time there and was a lot of fun to play and hang. We can't wait to share the stage with our friends Rat Jackson again in Raleigh on May 15th at Slim's Downtown.

Our next show in Asheville will be on Friday, April 23rd at Stella Blue.

The Enemy Lovers are old friends of mine, before they were a band and back when I first moved from Atlanta to Asheville. I've seen them play a handful of times since the beginning of the year. Started by brothers Tim and Steven Scroggs, these four musicians put on a vibrant, powerful performance every show they play. Both heavy doses of emotion and strength are evident in their songs.

Nights On Fire are also close friends. Fronted by Toby Brown, whose roots in the central Florida punk scene have helped shape a sound relatively new to Asheville punk rock. Rounded out by my close brothers Adam Kowalski and Travis Hollifield, Nights On Fire are new to the scene but are proving their power with every live show.

• Following the 23rd, we will be playing in Boone, NC on the 24th at a house show/party. I'll be posting details soon when I receive them.

• In May: We'll be in Hickory, NC on the 1st at the Wizard Saloon; playing Geneva's Rock n Ride Charity Event at the Limelight in Nashville, TN on the 8th; and the above mentioned May 15th show in Raleigh, NC at Slim's Downtown.
