That’s right folks–local sensations No BS! Brass Band and Black Girls are releasing a split 7 inch vinyl EP this week on Worthless Junk Records, and in celebration, they’ll be doing not one but TWO record release shows at Balliceaux! You can expect both of these shows to be totally off the chain. Black Girls are a hot young act who’ve been creating a huge buzz around Richmond with their acid-damaged indie take on southern soul–think Animal Collective producing Dusty In Memphis, and you’re halfway there. Meanwhile, No BS! Brass Band has been wowing audiences all over Richmond and the surrounding region for years with their high-volume, high-energy take on jazz, funk, metal, punk rock, and any other genre you might think to throw in there. It’ll be interesting enough seeing the nine members of No BS! attempt to fit onto Balliceaux’s tiny stage, but things promise to get even more interesting later in the evening as No BS! and Black Girls collaborate on tunes in a giant 15-person jam session. You don’t want to miss this! Come out Thursday for a preview to the weekend, or start your weekend out right by showing up Friday. Or, if you’re really hardcore, why not come to both?
WHAT: No BS! Brass Band/Black Girls Split EP Release Shows!
WHO: No BS! Brass Band and Black Girls, together at last
WHERE: Balliceaux (203 N. Lombardy St.)

Copies of the No BS! Brass Band/Black Girls split 7 inch on Worthless Junk Records will be available for purchase at the show. After the jump, we’ve got a couple of videos to act as a preview for what you’re going to see at Balliceaux this weekend.
