RVA #26: Virginia Moonwalker’s Russell Lacy talks studio’s early days & impact on RVA’s music scene

Shannon Cleary | November 22, 2016

Topics: Bryan Walthall, Camp Howard, James Seretis, Joe Lunsford, Jordan Tarrant, Lady God, Mechanicsville recording studio, Mikrowaves, Pete Curry, Russell Lacy, RVA 26, rva music, The Milkstains, The Wimps, Tim Falen, virginia moonwalker

There’s a note and a pattern to how music starts from one’s imagination and comes to fruition. A set of demos could be released into the universe with a particular ease that people couldn’t begin to imagine at the turn of the twenty-first century. With that in mind, it brings new questions to mind. How do we want the world to hear our band? What does it mean to be a band in 2016? What is the most logical way of answering these questions? For several musicians in Richmond, they have come close to an answer by venturing out to the Mechanicsville recording studio, The Virginia Moonwalker.

RVA #25: A chat with the members of Mikrowaves on the birth of their eclectic, funky project

Shannon Cleary | August 8, 2016

Topics: Bio Ritmo, Edward Pe, Mikrowaves, Russell Lacy, virginia moonwalker

Imagine a summer evening in Richmond spent on a patio. Beer bottles flood the tables as ashtrays are slowly beginning to fill. Conversations are asunder and the feeling in the air is intoxicating. Slowly, the hordes of denizens begin to make their way towards the night’s entertainment. A remarkable collective of musicians that refer to themselves as Mikrowaves are the evening’s main attraction. With an unmatched eclectic style and a fervent desire for intricate and challenging song structures, they are quick to be acclaimed by just about everyone in town.
