"Clancy Fraher returns to Richmond with his band The Technical Jed. For those entrenched in Richmond music history, you might remember the Technical Jed was the indie rock band before indie rock, from right here in Richmond in the early nineties.

Since Fraher moved to Chicago, the Technical Jed fizzled out, and the fellas went their separate ways with different musical endeavors. Well, you can come home again, literally and figuratively. The Technical Jed are back at it, thank goodness, and will play this show with their good friends Lorem Ipsum, who are also comprised of Richmond music heroes. Lorem Ipsum comes from the ashes of More Fire for Burning People and Lazy Cain. If you were into those Richmond stalwarts back in the day, then you will love The Technical Jed. When you think The Technical Jed, think Richard Hell. When you think Lorem Ipsum, think how the way post-hardcore should be played. And on top of all this, we also get The New Messengers–Clancy Fraher's current project, which also features Joe Nio of fellow early-90s Richmond indie heroes The Seymores. Whoa!

This should be an historical evening. I’m already there."
