Night Idea, the Richmond indie post-rockers who are one of the many bands included in RVA’s Subterranea Collective, have just released their second record, Paths. The band spent two years on Paths, the follow-up to their first album, Ocho The Cat, released back in October of 2011.

My friend Jason Lefton has a BIG thing for lasers. And he has manifested his fascination with lasers into a very creative business called BIG SECRET, located at 308 N. Adams Street in Jackson Ward. I’ve gotten to know Jason over the last year from his improv work at the Coalition Theater.

It's hard not to be proud of RVA's music scene, even if you don't think you're "in it." So many people are working their asses off, getting things done, and hustling that sometimes it's hard to absorb everything. Literally, there is more local music out there than I can physically write about.

This weekend looks like a fun one; there are enough fun dance parties and catchy post-rock shows for you to have a choice between numerous events Friday and Saturday. Then, on Sunday, chill out with either an acoustic country show at Capital Ale House or a free installment of Silent Music Revival with Obliv. There is plenty to do and most of it is cheap or free, so hit the town and celebrate the true beginning of Summer!

FEATURE SHOW
Monday, June 24, 9 p.m.
D.I. @ Bandito’s – Free/21+
Sean McClain and Bandito’s sure can bring them back from the dead. Tonight, that 80s punk band from Orange County, CA, D.I., is the most recent old school skate punk revival to come to the Devil’s Triangle.

On Friday, with less than 12 hours notice, Richmond received notice that it was to be one of the latest stops on the worldwide guerrilla marketing tour for Kanye West's latest album, Yeezus. Specifically, Richmond would play host to three different projections of a special video for Yeezus's first single, "New Slaves," which had already been broadcast on the walls of several dozen cities around the world.
