Deceptacon: Weekend Playlist by Toxic Moxie

by | Apr 12, 2019 | MUSIC

Every Friday night, RVA Mag drops an absolutely amazing playlist curated by Virginia’s most influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

Our playlist this week is by Toxic Moxie, the dirty disco punks who’ve been beloved by Richmond for most of the past decade. Having created several EPs worth of outstanding tunes that won the heart of the city several times over, the band is currently prepping their debut LP for release — and the amazing tunes they have in store for us are sure to take their psychedelic dance-hall riot to a whole new level.

Until we are graced with that glorious release (sometime this summer is the rumor, but you didn’t hear that from us), the group has brought us an incredible mix that incorporates all of the genres that go into their own tunes, from booming dance beats to electro-indie bangers to classic rock jams and psychedelic whirlwinds, it’s all here to make your weekend amazing.

Get sweaty, Virginia.
