San Francisco-by-way-of-Asheville hip-hop group Fist Fam drops a new LP, and gets ready to head back east.
The San Francisco-based (but soon to be local again) hip-hop group plays The Grey Eagle on Thursday, Dec. 29.
The Orange Peel gets down and dirty Saturday as local hip-hop collective Gurp City South unite for a rowdy weekend showcase. Catching the entire outfit under one roof can be difficult, as members split their time between Asheville and San Francisco, so expect some fireworks.
This weekend includes National Get Outdoors Day, and we’ve got plenty opportunities to do just that. If you prefer to stay inside, don’t fret; there’s art, music and more, all for a nominal fee.
Former Asheville rappers Fist Family returns for a reunion show (not with each other — they’ve been going strong all along — but with friends and Gurp City South members) and a record release. Friday, June 10 at Emerald Lounge. Click through for video from the band’s new album.
