Pink Beds

Get inside Asheville’s rock, indie and experimental music scenes through Hear Here, a new series co-presented by Citizen Vinyl and The Overlook with Matt Peiken podcast. Each evening mixes live performances and on-stage interviews, exclusively featuring local bands, their new original music and the inside stories behind them. Be there live, then tune into the podcast. $10 advance / $12 at the door. The series opens Tuesday, April 30, at 7 p.m., spotlighting the Asheville bands Pink Beds and Caged Affair. Pink Beds recently released its first full-length album, “Spare Key To A Memory,” showcasing a lush, angular mix of ‘80s-styled synth and keys, a bass-heavy bottom end and the flexible voice of Aaron Aiken. Caged Affair will perform tracks from its debut EP, "Grass Fed." Their guitar-driven music pays homage to ’90s grunge topped with a bouncy, college-rock energy. Both bands are performing five-song sets and sitting for interviews with Asheville journalist Matt Peiken. The Overlook with Matt Peiken is a podcast focusing on the news, arts, issues and trends of Asheville and can be heard on every podcasting platform. In 2023, readers of Mountain Xpress voted it the region’s best podcast.
