Activate!Activate! April 3 – April 10

Before I head off to Macrock this weekend, I'm going to tell you what's happening in Richmond's live music scene. At 7pm, I have an exclusive new track from Canary Oh Canary off their upcoming record and the first single from the new album by the recently reunited Fun Size who play a CD release show this week! Plus, I have tickets to give away to Graham Parker & the Rumour and They Might Be Giants in Charlottesville.
