With the Richmond Folk Festival going up this weekend, there will be nonstop music for three days down at Brown's Island to usher the fall weather in earnest to Richmond. Although it is not exclusively folk music down at the festival -- which has been known to host...
Tickets are still available for tonight's Ted Leo And The Pharmacists show at Strange Matter! This excellent Clash-influenced indie-punk group (who feature ex-members of Citizen's Arrest, Young Pioneers, and Nation Of Ulysses) are doing a short tour to promote their latest album, The Brutalist Bricks, and Richmond is their last stop.

Dashboard Confessional (Swiss Army Romance Tenth Anniversary Tour) with Cory Branan Wednesday, December 1 at The National Has it really been ten years since Chris Carrabba took on the moniker Dashboard Confessional? I could go on and on about how it feels like yesterday that I was seeing shows featuring Carrabba, alongside New Found Glory, The...
Once a month in Richmond all hell breaks loose for an event known as Brain Drain. These monthly parties have been happening for a few years and have had to change venues several times to accommodate the rapidly growing head count.

Conditions, Life On Repeat, Safety Word Orange, Mayfair, The Greater The Risk, and Cadeline Friday, November 26 at The Canal Club These all-ages Canal Club shows are going to be the death of me.

This, however, was not the case for Sam Adams and Jae Griff, two up-and-coming artists in the Hip-Hop industry. I added Sam...
Girl Talk - All Day (Illegal Art) May 2, 2008 was a special day for me. The events that occurred that evening set into motion something I could never have prepared for. That night at the now-defunct Toads Place (currently the Hat Factory) was the first time I had seen Girl Talk live, and there was no going back. I had heard of Gregg Gillis and...
