Late Night Pick: Vampire Weekend

Our Sandy induced hiatus is over. Hope everyone is OK. We got lucky here in Richmond, with nothing more to contend with than a house full of rambunctious kids who couldn't play outside.

Tonight, watch indie darlings Vampire Weekend (how appropriate for Halloween!) on Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC at midnight. Jimmy is doing these episodes in Brooklyn. He picked a hell of a week to be on the East Coast. Also on the show, will be Jimmy's late night counterpart, David Letterman.

Drive-By Truckers, A Place to Bury Strangers, Hospitality, Man Overboard, STS9

Looks like a pretty good weekend for music beginning with two shows from my beloved Drive-By Truckers at The National on Friday and Saturday night. Doors open at 7, show starts at 8 both nights with J Roddy Walston and the Business opening. Tix are $20 in advance, $25 at the door. I've waxed poetic about DBT a million times now. All I can say is that if you are ready for a kick-ass rock n' roll show, get yourself to The National this weekend. I'll be there for the Saturday night blowout. (BTW, if you like the artwork above, that's done by Richmonder Wes Freed, who does all of the artwork for DBT going back for over a decade.) Here's DBT doing their fantastic song about growing up loving rock music, "Let There Be Rock" (some language NSFW). Three guitar rock n' roll glory at it's best.:

People's Blues of Richmond will be at Hardywood Park Craft Brewery as part of Hardywood's First Anniversary party on Saturday. The festivities start at 2 PM and will go until 9 PM. PBR will play from 6 PM until the end. The Threeo play from 2 PM - 3:30 PM and River City Band play from 3:45 - 5:45. Here's PBR doing "Leaves Die" (some language NSFW. It's just a NSFW video kind of night.):



Noise pop band A Place to Bury Strangers will be at Strange Matter on Saturday night along with like-minded bands Bleeding Rainbow and Canary Oh Canary. Doors open at 9, show starts at 10. Tix are $10 in advance, $12 at the door. APTBS just got back from touring Russia so be sure to ask them about that. Here's their song "You Are the One":



If you are in the mood for some Halloween holiday music, check out Black Sabbath cover band, Brown Sabbath, at Republic on Saturday night. No info on the Republic site or Brown Sabbath's Facebook page about when this will start, but figure around 10 and figure a few dollars cover charge, at most. Here's the band playing "Wicked World" at The National a few years back:



Indie-pop band Hospitality will be at Strange Matter Sunday. Doors open at 6 for this all ages show and the music starts at 7 with openers Herro Sugar, The Garbers and Teen.

Emo-pop band from NJ, Man Overboard, will be at Kingdom on Tuesday night. Doors will open at 5:30 and there are sure to be some openers but right now they are TBA. Tix are only $10. Here they are doing "Love Your Friends, Die Laughing":



Have a great weekend! See you at the Drive-By Truckers show on Saturday night!

Late Night Pick: The Lumineers, Michael Franti webcast

Still tired from the excellent (as always) Bruce Springsteen concert last night. The crowd at JPJ Arena was definitely the best of any show, Bruce or otherwise, that I have seen at that arena. My favorite part of the show was the "rarities" block in the middle of "Seaside Bar Song", "Give the Girl a Kiss" (which Bruce taught the horn section on the fly), and  a powerful version of "Lost in the Flood", which I was able to cross of my Bruce bucket list. The other highlights were strong versions of "Backstreets" (the song that got me into Bruce those many years ago) and the encore opener of "Jungleland", which Bruce just nailed vocally. For the full setlist and the review from Backstreets go HERE.

Tonight at 9, Michael Franti is doing a webcast on the Green Mountain Coffee Facebook site HERE. Not sure if it will just be him solo or if Spearhead will be with him, but should be good either way.

Tonight's late night pick is Americana band, The Lumineers, on the Late Show with David Letterman. The Lumineers will be opening up for Dave Matthews Band at their shows at JPJ Arena in C'ville on 12/14 & 15. Tix for those shows are going on sale Friday at 10 AM. Bill O'Reilly will also be on so Dave should have fun sparring with him. Snooki will also be on the show, making for one weird show. Dave is on at 11:35 PM on CBS.

Springsteen, Trey, Into It Over It, Late Night Pick: Prince

Tonight, after his appearance on behalf of President Obama at the Charlottesville Downtown Amphitheater, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will rock the John Paul Jones Arena in C'ville. If you have GA tix for the show, remember to get their early to get in the lottery to be in the "pit" at the front of the stage. Details are HERE. Last I checked there were still some tickets available so you may be able to get some at the box office. Show starts at 7:30. Tix run from $68 to $98. Here's Bruce and the band doing "Death to My Hometown" from their latest album, "Wrecking Ball":

Trey Anastasio, guitarist from Phish, will be at The National tonight. Tix are $39.50. Doors open at 7, show starts at 8. No opener as Trey and his band will do two sets. Trey is out supporting his new solo album, "Traveler". Here's the band peforming "Corona" a few nights ago in Chicago:


Over at The Camel tonight, indie pop rockers Into It Over It head up a big show that also features The Front Bottoms, Cheap Girls, Made Do and Mend, Hostage Calm and Stay Ahead of the Weather. Tix are $13, doors open at 6, show starts at 6:30. Here's Into It Over It's "No Good Before Noon":

Late Night Pick: Miguel

R&B singer Miguel, whose album "Kaleidoscope Dream" is getting rave reviews, will be on Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC at midnight tonight. Timout said "“Fast-riser Miguel is a big-time style sampler whose music, part Latin-tinged hip-hop and part classic soul, is poised to make some waves”. His new song "Do You..." (and his look) remind me of soulful Prince stuff.

Also on the Kimmel show tonight will be Don Rickles, so tune in, you hockey pucks!

Big Folk Fest weekend, but we start on Thursday night with reunited Richmond band, Kepone, at Balliceaux. Show starts at 9:30 and it's $5 to get in.

Of course the big event this weekend is the Richmond Folk Fest, taking place Friday through Sunday in the Brown's Island area.

The big acts this year are Roseanne Cash (Saturday, 1 PM on the Altria stage), bluegrass great Ralph Stanley (Sunday, 4 PM on the Virginia Folklife Stage and then 5:30 on the Community Foundation Stage), and Fred Wesley, who helped create James Brown's great tracks in the 60s and 70s (Friday, 7:30 PM on the Community Foundation Stage and then three times on Saturday so check the schedule).

If you want a nice sampler pack, check out some of the workshops on the MWV Stage, Community Foundation Stage and Union First Market Stage on Saturday and Sunday. The workshops bring together three or four artists or groups who discuss and explore similarities in their music. They'll each perform a song or two and you may see some interesting collaborations, too.

And if you want to stop by and see me, I'll be volunteer "working" backstage at the Dominion Dance Pavilion from 11:30 AM to 3 PM on Sunday.

If you are not at the Folk Fest this weekend, but are at home near your computer, you can check out the Austin City Limits webcast on YouTube HERE.

The Ataris, Dan Deacon rescheduled, Waka Flocka Flame rescheduled

A special Tuesday edition of the blog that was going to highlight some shows on Wednesday but instead is mostly about shows that were going to take place Wednesday that were rescheduled. I would have put them in last week's big show blog but I was just too damn tired that night. It's probably a good thing since they got rescheduled anyway.

At The Camel on Wednesday night, The Ataris (pop punk), Flatfoot 56 (Celtic punk), Red City Radio and Hold Tight! will rock the joint. Doors open at 7, show starts at 8. It's $12 to get in and this is an all ages show. If you are an Ataris fan, don't miss the show because these are the only US tour dates of the year. Here's The Ataris performing "In This Diary":
