There’s a brand new all-day music throwdown coming to RVA this weekend, and do you know how many times I had to look at the name before I realized it wasn’t called “the extravaganza” (nope, it’s not–look at it again)?

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.
