Ladies and gentlemen, just in time for Christmas, RVA Magazine brings our latest gift to you! RVA #11, our Winter 2012 issue, is out today, and it’s crammed full of artistic goodness for you to enjoy by the fire during this holiday season. We say this every time, but once again, we feel like this just might be our best issue yet. Featuring RVA’s rising superstar of indie-soul, Matthew E. White, recently arrived piano-pounding rocker J. Roddy Walston, and reunited legendary pop-punkers Fun Size, the issue has you covered on all the most important goings-on in the local music scene. And that’s not all! We also take an in-depth look into the local art scene through our interview with photo/video artist Josiah Marroquin (whose work with Richard Perkins and John Vitale on the short film Magick Margaritasville provides the source for the cover of this issue) as well as a roundtable discussion between RVA-based artists Sara Gossett, Eliza Childress, and Mary Silcox. Plus, we take a look at the unusual fashion-oriented work of Angela Bacskocky, whose recent Nest collection straddles the line between commercial fashion and high art. But wait, there’s more! From English metal veterans Napalm Death to Roanoke shoegazers Eternal Summers and hardcore troublemakers Unholy Thoughts, we’ve got tons of other things for you to read about over your holiday week. So when you head back to your parents house to swap gifts and deal with your more awkward relatives over Christmas dinner, bring along a copy of the latest issue of RVA Magazine, and keep yourself entertained while everyone else is watching It’s A Wonderful Life for the 158th time.
