RVA No. 8 Is Out Today!

by | Apr 9, 2012 | POLITICS

Yes, that’s right, what you’ve all been waiting for–the latest print issue of our fine publication! It actually hit the streets in limited quantities just in time for the G40 event at First Friday, but if you didn’t pick it up there, it should be popping up at all of the finest local independent businesses around RVA today!

Yes, that’s right, what you’ve all been waiting for–the latest print issue of our fine publication! It actually hit the streets in limited quantities just in time for the G40 event at First Friday, but if you didn’t pick it up there, it should be popping up at all of the finest local independent businesses around RVA today! The big news in this issue is obviously our cover story on Lamb Of God; these titans of RVA metal have just released their seventh album, Resolution, and we spoke to drummer Chris Adler about it, as well as many other relevant topics.

But that’s not all you’ll find within this issue–not by a long shot. Pretty much every facet of the wide-ranging RVA music scene is represented here, from the humorously antisocial nihilism of punk rockers the Southside Stranglers, to the indie-rock dance-party exuberance of Black Girls, to the boozed-up blues revivalism of PBR, and more! Then there’s a look at the future of computer-generated art with artist Todd Hale, There/Here’s attempts to shine a light on the neglected areas of downtown Richmond, and high-quality photo spread documenting the murals taking over the streets of RVA as a result of the G40 Art Summit. And of course, we’ve got plenty more where that came from as well.

Plus, you’ll find that we’ve slightly changed the look of RVA Mag–the staple stitching and slightly smaller size (it’s only an inch or so shorter/thinner) make it the perfect size to fit into a 9 x 12 envelope. Yes, it’s true–we’ve reactivated our subscription program, meaning that if you’ve had trouble locating the magazine around town before it disappears (and it comes and goes quickly–trust us, we know), you once again have the option of getting every new issue delivered to your door. That way you’ll never miss an issue. For more info, check out our very reasonably priced subscription offers HERE. And keep an eye out for the digital version of the new issue as well–it should be showing up on that page in the very near future.
