Activate! March 23 - March 30

Activate!Activate! March 23 – March 30

Richmond is smack dab in the middle of SXSW and MACRoCk, so we are inundated this week with lots of killer touring bands. I'll try and narrow it down to 2 hours tonight at 7pm on Activate! I'll feature a tune by Prabir/Goldrush (pictured) who are scoring the return of Silent Music Revival, plus I'll give away 2 passes to MACRoCk and a pair of tickets to Mountain Goats!
