Activate!Activate! March 26 – April 2

Another week of fantastic live music is up ahead in Richmond and I've got your map, tonight at 7pm. I'll be sure to include a track from Canary Oh Canary who are about to go on hiatus, Iron Reagan and Occultist who are heading out on a national tour together, and Basmati (pictured) who are playing a benefit for the Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project. Plus, I'll give away tickets to see Dave Hause of The Loved Ones live at The Camel!
