Video Fan Riot, feat. Hot Dolphin (photo by Joey Wharton), Navi, Manzara, Gull, Big No @ Hardywood Park Craft Brewery – Free!
As a diehard music fan who was collecting records before there was even an internet, let alone filesharing, I suppose it’s not that big a surprise that I’m a huge fan of physical formats for media of all types. So of course, I am very thankful that Video Fan’s Kickstarter was successfully funded.

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.

However, their brand new EP, coming out tomorrow as part of the Negative Fun Singles Club, is actually their first vinyl release.
