Tonight At Strange Matter: The Return Of Netherfriends

by | Oct 11, 2010 | MUSIC

WHAT: Netherfriends Return To Richmond!
WHEN: Monday, October 11, 9 PM
WHO: Netherfriends
Tungs
White Laces
Go Away

WHERE: Strange Matter; 929 W. Grace St.
ADMISSION: $3

Last time the Netherfriends came through Richmond back in April, they blew everybody away. Now, over six months in, their yearlong 50 Songs In 50 States Project rolls on, bringing them back to us once again. This time, rather than reliving the cramped, sweaty glory of their previous house show, the live experience has been upgraded, and they’ll be rocking the house at Strange Matter. The show may not be as intimate, but the band’s excellent brand of indie pop is sure to be just as delightful, even if Netherfriends leader Shawn Rosenblatt is joined by a completely different backing band than he had with him last time. Also on the bill are the experimental psychedelic stylings of Richmond’s own Tungs, who’ve been gathering quite a bit of attention for themselves lately. Local shoegazers White Laces will also perform, as will a brand new project by the name of Go Away, featuring former members of Coald Toast and Galt. Should be a great time, so come check it out!
