RVA No. 6 Is Out Today!

by | Sep 2, 2011 | COMMUNITY

Our latest issue hits the streets of the city today! Featuring Deanna Danger and the lovely ladies of her Boom Boom Basics Burlesque Studio on the cover, this issue is chock full of great stuff. First we’ve got a profile of Deanna Danger and her Boom Boom Basics classes. Then there’s an interview with Kate Jennings, a local photographer and owner of Na Nin Vintage Clothing. Our artistic spotlight focuses on painter Jenna Chew, and on the surprisingly brutal illustrations of Julia Scott. Musically speaking, we’ve got interviews with doom-metallers Cough, electro-rockers Sleigh Bells, local hip-hop sensation Noah O, energetic pop-punk group Hold Tight!, and once and future Richmond drummer Tyler Williams of Sub Pop recording artists The Head And The Heart. On top of all that, we’ve got an extensive guide to our RVA Music Fest, which is taking place in a mere 10 days time, so you’ll want to grab your copy of this new issue as soon as possible! You can also download the program guide from rvamusicfest.com)

Don’t worry–we’re going to make it easy for you to do so. Head to Cafe Diem (600 N. Sheppard) for Happy Hour today, between 5 and 7 PM, where we’ll be handing out copies. Or, if you can’t make it then, come by The Republic (2053 W. Broad St) tonight starting at 9 PM for the official release party, with Audio Ammo! We’ll have plenty of magazines on hand at both locations for your reading pleasure, and you’ll also be able to pick it up around town over the next few weeks!
