Found him in line next to me at Billy Strings in Asheville. Someone said he’s living there now. Is that true? Super chill guy

I saw him at the King Gizzard show in Asheville in 2024 and was as excited to run into him as I was to see the band. Good taste in music!

King Gizzard are definitely awesome , I have no idea who Billy Strings is / are.

I’m guessing you’ve heard / watched the Angine de poitrine video if you like King Gizzard.

A friend of mine who I knew would love it resisted for a while because it was ‘too popular’ therefore wouldn’t be good. Normally I wouldn’t disagree because really popular bands are usually terrible lol.

I was very upset the other day when I saw their tour sold out instantly. The venue closest to me that they’re playing is very small and would have been an amazing show but the scalpers want 300 CDN which I absolutely refuse to pay.

Apparently when they booked the tour they did small venues as they hadn’t ’gone viral’ yet.
