One Wing: Weekend Playlist by Cardinal

RVA Staff | March 22, 2019

Topics: Cardinal, emo, indie, Majjin Boo, math rock, post-rock, rva magazine weekend playlist, Weekend Playlist

Every Friday evening, RVA Magazine brings you an excellent playlist curated by influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This week, we get some wonderful sounds put together for us by Cardinal, an up-and-coming Richmond quintet with a wonderful sound of their own. Growing out of short-lived local math-rock trio Majjin Boo, Cardinal combine the intricate guitar melodies of math-rock with a stronger melodic sense and a layered depth of sound.

Cardinal just released their latest single, “One Wing,” and will be playing at The Camel on Wednesday, April 3 with Massachusetts group And The Kids (more info here). Their weekend playlist gives us a preview of their live performance by featuring both of their recent singles, then goes on to present a smorgasbord of post-rock, indie, math-rock, and emo tunes that’ll fill your weekend with inspiration.

Children Of The New Dawn: Weekend Playlist By Kristeva

RVA Staff | March 15, 2019

Topics: emo, indie, Kristeva, post-rock, Weekend Playlist

Every Friday evening, RVA Magazine brings you another incredible playlist curated by influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This week, our playlist comes from Kristeva, an up-and-coming post-rock ensemble from Richmond, which mixes classical stringed instruments and occasional blackened screams into its epic instrumental grandeur. Kristeva will be headlining the Camel’s Shamrock The Block after party Saturday night, which has been cleverly titled “Post-Rock The Block.” They’ll also be releasing the cassette version of Goliad, their newest EP.

You can get a preview of that EP in the Weekend Playlist Kristeva has created for us, along with a fine selection of ambient, emo, post-rock, indie, and even hip hop and metal — plus you’ll hear tunes from the Richmond bands they’re sharing the bill with at The Camel tomorrow night. So what are you waiting for? (Post-) rock it out, Virginia.

Every Friday night, RVA Mag drops a ridiculously amazing playlist curated by influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This time around we’ve got a playlist from Manatree, the youthful Richmond quartet whose intricate melodies and complex latticework of guitar leads, synth burbles, syncopated percussion, and gorgeous vocals is both incredibly complicated and undeniably beautiful. They’ll be at Hardywood on Saturday night for a free show to celebrate the release of their latest EP, but first, check out this excellent playlist the band has put together, full of psychedelic grooves and pop bounce, featuring quite a few local stars who may still be flying under your radar.

Topics: Big Something, Bluegrass, classic rock, coutnry, indie, rock, rva magazine playlist, Weekend Playlist

Every Friday night, RVA Mag drops a ridiculously amazing playlist curated by influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This week, we receive a potent musical dispatch from Big Something, the North Carolina alt-rock group with strong enough ties to Richmond to have released a live album recorded at The Broadberry. This weekend finds the group returning to The Broadberry for their first-ever two-night stand here in Richmond, which promises to liven up the weekend for the entire town.

But in the meantime, we’ve got a set of incredible music that truly shows off this band’s eclectic tastes and wide-ranging influences. From jazz to hip-hop to the kind of rockin’ they’ve led us to expect, Big Something previews the live performances they’ve got on tap for tonight and tomorrow with what amounts to an excellent DJ set you can jam while you get prepped for the gig.

Check it out, Virginia! And grab your tickets to see Big Something tonight or tomorrow (or both!) at bit.ly/BigSomethingRVA.

Every Friday night, RVA Mag drops a hell of a playlist curated by influential artists, musicians, and institutions.
