Activate!Activate! May 1 – May 8

I'm pretty sure if you like music, there's a band you'll dig playing live in Richmond sometime this week. Tune in at 7pm for your options, including a track by Dumbwaiter (pictured) who are celebrating their first album release! Plus, I'll give away tickets to the Dumbwaiter / Young Widows show at Gallery 5, along with Beats Antique and The Spin Doctors in Charlottesville.
