The 17th Annual Richmond Zombie Walk rambled, groaned and dragged its way through Carytown this past weekend. Photographer Dave Parrish was on hand to document the entire thing.

Chino Amobi, McKinley Dixon & Friends, Toxic Moxie, Lotus @ Strange Matter
Chino Amobi has remained steadily fascinating throughout his lengthy tenure as part of the RVA music scene. Beginning in his days performing under the name Diamond Black Hearted Boy and continuing to his current solo work, Amobi’s had a constant sonic thrust paired with an intense political message, all of which added up to rejecting of current...
Pinact, Teen Death, Carry Fisher @ Champion RVA
Another Thursday, and once again, we’re back at Champion gaining fortification for the last work day of the week with a shot of heavy-duty musical salvation for the low low price of nothing at all. There’s even beer, if that’s your kind of thing. But more importantly, there’s rad music, this week featuring a performance from touring Scottish act...
The American Indie, Fontaine, The Firnats, Don Fredrick @ Strange Matter
I admit it–I’m a bit flummoxed by a band calling themselves “The American Indie.” It feels sort of like a band from Oslo calling themselves “The Norwegian Black Metal.” But hey, this is the United States, after all, where anytime we seek to give something profundity, we put the word “American” in the title (American Hustle, American Gangster,...
Ladygod, Rikki Shay, Ben Shepherd, Cool Moon @Flora
They’ve cultivated an air of mystery around themselves throughout their time in the RVA scene, which stretches back at least three years now. Releases have been few and far between, with too few songs on them. It’s always been hard to pin down who is actually in the band. And recently it’s become tough to even determine whether their band name is...

The Answer Brewpub, RVA Magazine & Hardywood Park Craft Brewery present this year's Hallobeer tonight with live music, Andals and other beer specials, a costume contest and more. To help celebrate the 10th Annual...
Long Jawns at Continental Divide
Long Jawns at Continental Divide Halloween y'all. Dress up, get down. Trap.
Citizen, Sorority Noise, Great Grandpa @ The Canal Club
When their first album came out in 2013, Citizen got lumped in with that whole emo-revival thing. At the time of their 2015 followup, they got thrown into the post-hardcore shoegaze crowd. Now, in 2017, their third album, Aim To Please, has been released, and it shows this group to have a sound that’s held true through every attempt to pigeonhole...
LA Witch, Guantanamo Baywatch, The Smirks, Sick Bags @The Camel
The world of garage rock gets weirder and spookier with every passing year, and I for one think that’s great. After all, there are only so many new versions of “Dirty Robber” and “Psycho” we can all hear without getting bored. LA Witch is certainly not going to bore you. This trio, predictably hailing from Los Angeles, have a lot of venom and...
Neverkept, Telltale, We Call This Courage, Nine Line, Epiphany @The Canal Club
We’re back at the Canal Club this Friday night, and as has become the trend with this particular venue over the past year or two, we’re enjoying some catchy emotional pop-punk sounds at an all-ages gig that one wouldn’t be off base to guess will mostly be populated by high school students (OK, and maybe some college kids too). But seriously, if...
