Activate!Activate! September 4 – September 11

Two hours just ain't enough for tonight's Activate! at 7pm. Baltimore synth-pop trio Future Islands will join me for an interview before their gig later tonight at The Camel and I will give away tickets to see Pissed Jeans and Suuns in Charlottesville and The Last Bison at the Canal Club! Plus I have tons of other tunes from bands with shows in RVA, including new tracks from Swordplay, Strumpet, and Flight of Salt (pictured).
