At 7pm, pay close attention because these are the bands playing live in the Richmond area this week! I have songs lined up from Iron Reagan who are playing a benefit for Jonny, The French Media who are playing an RVA Local Grandstand, and Imaginary Sons (pictured) who have an album release show, plus so many more. I'll also give away tickets to see High On Fire at The Broadberry and Kayo Dot at Gallery 5.
