Local indie rockers The Luxury Spirit are set to release new album Forgotten Albatross. The first single, "Light," crackles with electricity and layered guitars. Drums snap and pulse below the melee, but the song, for all of its expansive inclination and amplitude, still maintains its taut structure. Singer Bob Burnette's tenor glides through waves of reverb. The band holds an album release party at Emerald Lounge on Saturday, Aug. 24. Of Sea & Shore and The Beast of Riverdale also perform. 9 p.m., $5. http://www.emeraldlounge.com.
Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Boy wish we could attend Bob…..
will be with you in Spirit here in Mexico!
