Editor’s note: The results are in and can be found HERE! Let the groans begin, Richmond, it’s that time again: our semi annual Support Local, Vote Local Poll. We’ve all been through it lately. Another election, another pile of headlines designed to grind your...
The close of the year. Maybe this week your old buddies from high school will be back in town, maybe your coolest cousin is visiting for the holidays, whatever it is, go make some memories together. To quote the Specials, “Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think.” Got a show coming up? New single? Simply want someone to talk music? I am your...
When was the last modern Christmas song you heard that just absolutely bangs? I challenge the city of Richmond to write the next holiday hit. Or not, maybe let's just move past it. I need to make sure I even out my cozy nights in with late ones in the pit, every cup of hot chocolate evened out with a paper cup of water after a show. Got a show...
The latest addition to Richmond's food and bar scene, Brave Captain, will officially open next week on the edge of Oregon Hill and the VCU campus. Co-owners Herbie Abernethy (read our interview HERE) and Josh Novicki — already known for popular Richmond spots Cobra Cabana and Hot For Pizza — have transformed the former Mojo’s side space into a...
For Richmonders, the Dominion Energy Christmas Parade is the unofficial kickoff to the holiday season—part spectacle, part tradition, and always a snapshot of the city as it really is. Once called Thalhimers' Toy Parade back in the ‘50s, it disappeared for 15 years before the Richmond Jaycees brought it back. Ukrop’s carried the torch for a...
Before hitting the stage on Brown’s Island in Richmond, VA, Flipturn sat down with RVA Mag to share a slice of their world. They riffed on their love for Waffle House—a staple of late-night Americana—and the raw, reflective process of writing their second album 'Burnout Days' which will be out January 24th via Dualtone Records. Holed up in a...
Hello reader! This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Matteo Lane, a comedian whose humor is as sharp as it is unapologetically authentic. Matteo’s the real deal—a blend of Italian, Mexican, and Irish heritage, and 100% loud and proud. We talked about his lifelong love for Storm from The X-Men, a hilarious (and slightly surreal) exchange...
Post Thanksgiving haze, rent has unfortunately paid, Christmas looms closer and closer, and I still haven’t bought those presents. One thing stays consistent, Richmond’s music makes me happy. This week we got a whole bunch of funk and some charitable punk. Got a show coming up? New single? Simply want someone to talk music? I am your guy at...
Next year marks 20 years of the magazine, a milestone that’s inspired us to reflect on the stories that, in hindsight, were not only significant for us but also played a role in shaping the diverse scenes and cultural pockets of Downtown Richmond. Many of these stories have never been shared online or were lost during our transitions between...
In Richmond’s Museum District, tucked away in an unassuming third-floor workspace and unfinished bathroom, Constant Practice operates as both an archive and a curated menswear store. Known for its focus on rare and experimental pieces, the brand has built a global following of almost 800,000 on Instagram. But at its core, Constant Practice is...
