Meet Me At The Movies: Weekend Playlist by Fuzzy Cactus

by | Sep 20, 2019 | MUSIC

Every Friday night, RVA Mag brings you an essential playlist curated by Virginia’s most influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This time around we’re bringing you a playlist curated with love by the staff of Richmond’s best new music venue 2k19 (that’s right, we’re calling it now): Fuzzy Cactus. They’ve been open for something like a month and a half and have already put on a ton of essential live shows, with a whole lot more coming in the near future. Indeed, this weekend alone features tonight’s performances by local electro/alt-rockers Opin and RVA-via-NYC experimental musician Ghost Piss, tomorrow’s Surf N’ Turf dance party featuring DJ Devolved and DJ Dogpants spinning tunes all night long, and Sunday’s appearance by raging Catalonian punks Irreal and local maniacs Benderheads.

There’s a lot more where that came from too, so stay tuned to Fuzzy Cactus’s facebook page for updates, and while you’re getting ready to head out to the show tonight, rock to this excellent playlist from the Fuzzy Cactus staff! It’s got a ton of no-frills rock n’ roll to keep your feet moving and get you ready to rage all night long, plus some awesome local artists to remind you that, while this place is still brand new, their knowledge of Richmond music is deep.

Get rockin’, Virginia.
