Three punk bands play 2 1/2 sets at the Orange Peel

Punk at the Orange Peel. Pleasures of the Ultraviolet, Zombie Queen, and Just Die — three popular local punk bands and winners of our Best Of WNC — let loose on a near-capacity crowd at the Orange Peel Saturday night.

What happened to the 1/2 set? Zombie Queen’s set ended early when the lead singer cut herself on a broken beer bottle on stage. Management ended the set early.
