The next Bla/Alt Festival is almost upon us, so we brought on Stephen Tekola and TJ Banks of KANG, who will be continuing their reunion-tour-of-sorts at the festival at Camp North End on Sat., Oct. 20. We talked to the pair about Bla/Alt, how every negative in Charlotte comes with a positive and the growing connection between the arts and music scenes in the city.
