Witchmond is a blog devoted to the underground and experimental music scenes in Virginia. Despite the punning reference in the title, Witchmond’s coverage stretches beyond the boundaries of Richmond, incorporating other central Virginia cities such as Harrisonburg and Charlottesville. Founder Andy Dunlap is still based in Richmond and covers what’s happening here, but since Witchmond started in 2008, he’s been joined by the Harrisonburg-based Parker Girard, and Dylan Mulshine, who lives in Charlottesville. It’s Dylan who is responsible for the Witchmond Music Festival, which explains why it’s taking place in Charlottesville instead of here in Richmond. However, if you’re willing to make a short drive, you’ll be able to catch plenty of great experimental acts over the course of this weekend.
There are a total of four shows happening as part of the Witchmond Music Festival–three of them on Saturday, and one really long one on Sunday. The entire thing should wrap up in plenty of time for you to make that drive back to Richmond and get to work on time Monday morning. You really owe it to yourself to check it out.
The full lineup, in easily digestible form:
