THE BLUE BANNER/November 6, 1986/13 Club offers a new*flavor* By Tracy Fagan Staff Writer Music lovers can in dulge themselves in a new flavor of enter tainment. It's "45 Cherry," the new live music club opening in downtown Asheville this Week. The club, which will offer a variety of live "non-top 40" music, is named for its location on Cherry Street. It's an attempt to fill the Void for alternative live music here in Asheville, according to Frank Grabosky, a spokesman for the club. The club will offer a Variety of entertainment booked through several agencies in Charlotte, N.C., said Grabosky. He Said offering live niusic will be the main goal of the club, so special gimmick nights will not be a part of their appeal. Some acts scheduled to appear in the near future are "The Sponge- tones," "Cruis-o-matic" and a local band, "Crimes of Fashior !' said Grabosky. The names of these groups may sound famil iar to those who once frequented the now ex tinct Asheville Music Hall, the only other club in Asheville to offer alternative live music. 45 Cherry will fea ture reggae at least once a month and offer live music Thursday through Saturday, with one band on Wednesday and Thursday nights and It’s an attempt to fill the void for alternative live music here in Asheville. "Frank Grabosky a second band on Friday and Saturday nights, said Grabosky. He dsscribed the building as newly re modeled and spacious with booths and small cocktail tables. It includes a long bar in the back of the main area away from the stage, which should help in channeling bar traffic away from the performing and dancing space. There's also a large gameroom with pool tab les and video games, which is far enough from the stage area for conversation, he said. Additionally, the building has an outside porch area which will be renovated next spring for the seasonal activities of the club, said Grabosky. State law allows only private clubs to serve alcohol, so there is a one-time membership fee of $10. Cover charges will range from $3 to $5 depending on the band appearing that night, he said. Unfort unately for those under 21, the club is off limits due to the re cent raising of the drinking age, added Grabosky. And because . the club does not want to en courage those who are under age to attempt to get in illegally, there will be no student dis count offerings, he said. 45 Cherry opened with "The Killer Whales" on Nov. 5 and 6.
