Tonight on Activate! at 7pm, I have songs lined up from Vexine and Wayfarer since both bands have CD release shows this week, Canary Oh Canary (pictured) and RPG who have a tag-team show, and a preview of the Little Heavy Rebel Weekend. Plus, I'll give away tickets to see Sebadoh this Saturday in Charlottesville!
