Iron Chic, Crow Bait, Cancers, Hold Tight @ Strange Matter – $10 (order tickets here: http://ironchicrva.eventbrite.com/)
Stay Sweet Records is technically a label, but they’ve only released a couple of things over the past few years. However, I doubt most RVA residents mind, since Stay Sweet’s real area of emphasis for a long time has been bringing the best pop-punk, emo, and melodic rock n’ roll bands in the world to Richmond for kickass live shows. And now they’re doing it again, bringing in Long Island’s Iron Chic for a Devil’s Night performance we’ll not soon forget.

Hold Tight get pensive on new digital EP
RVA melodic hardcore stalwarts Hold Tight have been showing up more often apart than together lately, what with two members switching instruments to play in Teen Death and the other two members manning their usual instruments in Cross Eyed. However, the quartet has been making some appearances on the same stage at the same time recently, and apparently they’ve come together in the studio as well, since a new 6-song EP has appeared this week on Animal Style Records.

Worn In Red (last Richmond show), Hold Tight, Late Bloomer, Sea Of Storms @ Gallery 5 – $5
Maybe I’m alone in this, but it seems to me Worn In Red never got their due. This RVA/C-ville quartet certainly has a solid fanbase around the Commonwealth, don’t get me wrong, but to me it seems like they should’ve been huge by now–especially with this whole “emo revival” thing going on.
