Goose brought their fall tour to Richmond for a two-night stand last week, drawing thousands for one of the new amphitheater’s biggest shows yet. The Connecticut-based band, Rick Mitarotonda, Peter Anspach, Trevor Weeks, and Cotter Ellis, has built a reputation as one...
Richmond’s rock faithful packed into the Canal Club for what felt more like a ritual than a concert. J. Roddy Walston, a hometown legend with the kind of raw, unpolished energy that doesn’t just play to a crowd but grabs it by the throat, hit the stage like a force of nature for his annual Xmas To The Bone show. Flanked by local guitar gods...
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...
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...
Richmond has always been a city where music does more than just play in the background. For decades, heavy music has found its footing here, rising from packed clubs, DIY spaces, and warehouses. A part of that culture today is Another Round Bar & Grill, a modest spot on Brook Road in Lakeside that’s become a part of the city’s music ecosystem...
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...
It is simply a great time to be a Richmond music fan. This week we have great touring bands, revivals of older groups, and an abundance of new music coming from the blank generation. As everyone prepares for the holidays, travel, and the expected rotation of Christmas music, treat yourself to something out of the ordinary. Got a show coming up?...
Night Idea the incredible 6 piece jazzy progressive rock band released their 3rd LP in October. Their first record in 7 years, the long awaited Rocky Coast. After the album release show at The Camel in October, I was able to ask drummer extraordinaire Ethan Johnstone (Night Idea, SunVSet, Houdan The Mystic, Brother Rutherford) about the music and...
I feel a gravitational pull towards heavier music now that the days are darker. It feels right to match the heavy sky. In the same breath I feel like no matter what season it is, you have to listen to a little bit of Spring music, stuff to remind you what the sun feels like. Got a show coming up? New single? Simply want someone to talk music? I...
