Sounds Of RVA Presents: On The Horizon #23
If you didn't attend the GWAR-B-Q this weekend, you missed out. Two stages, free Redbull, hotties left and right, and, of course, GWAR were all highlights of the day. While some people were hoping this would be this year’s Best Friends Day, the organizers did a great job of making the GWAR-B-Q its own entity. Make your plans for next year! Read on for more music goodness.

RVA #9: Record Reviews
Antlers - 2607 Space Godz (antlers.bandcamp.com)
Since starting four years ago as an instrumental indie/math-rock act, this quartet has undergone a significant shift in mindset. 2607 Space Godz is far more psychedelic than their earlier work, resulting in a blissful, stoned-out alternate universe version of their original sound. Very different, but just as awesome. (AN)
The rest of the record reviews from the new issue (all 23 of them!) are after the jump.

Some Richmond institutions have left the gritty city in 2012. No more Slaughterama ("Sortarama" doesn't count), Best Friends Day, or RVA Music Fest. What did we do wrong? Well, first of all, Richmonders are too, too awesome. We get awesome, we multiply, and all of a sudden there are 600 crust kids at a house show. The great thing about RVA is that when venues close or festivals discontinue, someone or something is always there right away to challenge our community culturally, cropping up in the wake of things formerly great. The GWAR-B-Q is in its third year, and will be taking place this Saturday (8/18) at Hadad's hallowed waters. Get there early, wear sunscreen, and get awesome!

Sounds Of RVA Presents: On The Horizon #21
This past week our neighbor Randy Blythe of Lamb of God was finally freed from the Czech prison and made his way back to his favorite coffee shop here in Richmond. Richmond really came together in spirit for Randy during his incarceration, and that just further shows how solid this gritty little city can be.
