Activate!Activate! March 5 – March 12

Join me in celebrating our live music scene in Richmond, tonight at 7pm! I have new tracks from Black Girls and Cut the Architect's Hand, both of whom have album release shows on tap, as well as Dave Watkins (pictured) who contributes a song to "Running Up That Hill: Kate Bush Covers for Reproductive Rights." Plus, I'll give away tickets to We Were Promised Jetpacks/Honeyblood at The Camel, doom-metal band Spirit Caravan at Strange Matter, and a noise-pop twofer with Pains of Being Pure at Heart/Eternal Summers in Charlottesville!
