Hey everyone, spring is here and the brand new issue of RVA Magazine is winging its way to you! We’re focusing on a number of topics this issue, with extensive coverage devoted to local and national music. Not only that, but we’ve also got an interview with Lloyd Kaufman, celebrated low-budget horror director and founder of Troma Pictures, who recently participated in the RVA independent sci-fi/horror film, Science Team. Plus, we spoke to Kathleen Hanna, frontwoman for The Julie Ruin/Bikini Kill/Le Tigre, pioneer of the 90s Riot Grrrl movement, and subject of recent documentary The Punk Singer, about her fascinating career.

But that’s not all we have for you this time around. We scored a couple of great interviews with the Pixies and The Arctic Monkeys when they played The National a few months back, and we’re bringing those to you! We’ve also been digging deep into the local scene, as always, and you can look forward to learning about those shoegaze-y guitar slingers The Snowy Owls and the bedroom electronic project turned full-on rock band, Way Shape Or Form. Plus, we meet some new faces on the RVA scene–experimental indie-jazz quartet Dumb Waiter, and noisy bass-drum rock duo New Turks.

All of this, plus an in-depth look at the local performers coming together to bring you the 2014 Richmond Dance Festival, which is sure to be the event of the year in Richmond’s alternative dance scene.

It’s a fiesta of amazing sights and sounds, and it comes to you just in time for spring. So catch the fever, get outside in the sun, and grab yourself a copy of the new issue of RVA Magazine!
