Weekend Post: Bazaar show, and VA-based musique

Hey guys.

So, tonight Bazaar Consignments will be hosting Richmond-based White Laces, and a mysterious Roanoke band called Winter’s End. Well, not that mysterious. 9:30, $5, All Ages. Get on it.

But before you go, take a listen to this. It’s a mixtape I made on Lala for Seanmichael with VA based bands from the 90’s and early 2000’s. Labradford, Gregor Samsa, South, et al. Good stuff.

Take care.
