In preparation for kicking off their 30th anniversary tour for landmark album Scumdogs Of The Universe, GWAR brought Madball and Eyehategod along with them to destroy The National. The jubilant crowd loved every minute of it. You should’ve been there. I guess that’s what people say the day after a good show. Sucks to hear as a kid, but eventually...

Things were apparently a real mess at the 2021 edition of the Blue Ridge Rock Festival, held this past weekend at Danville's Blue Ridge Amphitheater.

White hasn't totally disappeared from the world of popular music since his last...
I hang out at Bamboo Cafe sometimes. Sometimes Eddie Prendergast is my bartender. A local music legend, which we have covered before, and someone I have seen over a dozen times through out the years with Bio Ritmo, Amazing Ghost to Mikrowaves. Always a great show. Big songs. Big sounds. On this particular day, he passes me my usual and I ask,...
Richmond rockers Flight Club's highly visual return to action as COVID-era restrictions are slowly lifted kicks into a higher gear at The Canal Club this Saturday night.
