Summer is here and RVA #5 is in the streets!!

by | May 27, 2011 | POLITICS

Hey everybody, RVA #5 is here, and we think it’s our best issue yet!

For one thing, there’s an in-depth interview with the Flaming Lips, which we are really stoked about. We’ve also got awesome art from insane photographer Richard Perkins and Othelo Gervacio, who does dark, angry paintings that drip
down the page. There’s a rad article about local metallers Inter Arma, complete with excellent photos of the band in action.

Plus, be sure and check out our interviews with DJ par excellence Steve Aoki, Kenna, and San Francisco based psych-punker Ty Segall. We worked hard to get together some great content for this issue, so the whole thing is a great read, and we’re particularly proud of the way it looks as well. Copies will be available around town starting today, so look for Steve Aoki stagediving on the cover, and be sure to grab one.

Also, keep an eye out for the limited-edition alternate cover, featuring the Flaming Lips. We hope you love this issue as much as we do.

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is.
