Activate! January 1 - January 8

Activate!Activate! January 1 – January 8

Today is the first day of 2014 and if last year is any indication, there will be oodles of awesome live shows this year! As always, you can get a preview of Richmond's concert calendar on Activate! every Wednesday at 7pm. Tonight, I have tracks from Prisoner who are heading out on tour, Toxic Moxie who are performing at the Science Team after party, The Silent Type who is returning from a long hiatus, and The Green Boys (pictured) who are providing the soundtrack to the Silent Music Revival. Plus, I have tickets to give away to see garage-rock group The Whigs in Charlottesville!
