Maybe I’m squarely in the prime demo, but I haven’t been able to escape the social media ads for this series of Candlelight concerts going on in Richmond this Summer. I’m not complaining, the algorithm was right. I was very interested. From a glance at the ads while I...
The Grapefruit Experiment, The Catnip Dreams, Purple Rhinestone Eagle and Black Liquid August 25 at Strange Matter After expressing frustration with the way late shows on weeknights are often run, I found myself unwittingly becoming part of the problem last Wednesday night. I showed up at Strange Matter just after 10:30 and discovered that the...
Masshysteri - Masshysteri (Feral Ward) Umea, Sweden’s Masshysteri have never been able to live down their influences. Their previous releases all wore the same few reference points proudly on their sleeves: the drive of the Wipers, the male/female vocal harmonies of Dead Moon (though unlike Dead Moon, Masshysteri’s were on key), and the...

However, while he will be playing some music during his visit to Richmond on Monday, for once, music is not the main purpose of his visit. No, Tesco is on tour supporting a reissue of his original claim to fame: the...
The Protomen, Makeup And Vanity Set, and Craptain Jack And The Shmees August 13 at Plaza Bowl Plaza Bowl is an unlikely place for the fight that will determine mankind’s future. But last Friday, there they were: Richmond’s army, full of piss and vinegar, and just itching for a fight. When the Protomen came out, suited up and armed to the teeth,...

Colour Revolt - The Cradle (New Fear/Dualtone) Confessional bluesy/boozy blurts, sonically somewhere between the indie/alt-rock status quo and a more angular post-hardcore sound. Storytelling lyrical rambles resemble Cursive without the melodrama, Dismemberment Plan without the silliness, and Hold Steady without the Springsteen. Awesome at...

They took their time to arrive to the city of Richmond. Now, The Diamond...
