Thursday night at Broadberry, it's a great band with a gross name. Diarrhea Planet will be there with Lightfields and Don Babylon opening. Doors open at 7:30, show starts at 8:30. Tix are $12 advance, $15 day of show. These are Diarrhea Planet's interests, as listed on Facebook, "Not totally blowing it, getting our units up, saving lives, shredding til' you're dead, listening to Steely Dan/TEB (Third Eye Blind), sleeping bags, food." Here they are playing "Heatwave":
Friday night, rising Richmond star, Lucy Dacus has her album release party at The Broadberry. Rikki Shay (featuring former members of Black Girls) and Spooky Cool will join in the fun. Doors at 8. show at 9, tix are $8 advance, $10 at the door. She'll be at SXSW in two weeks along with every other band in the Western Hemisphere, but NPR has narrowed it down to 100 bands to hear and Lucy is one of them.

Indie new wave pop/rockers Metric are at The National on Tuesday. Tix are $25 advance, $28 day of show. Doors open at 6:30, show starts at 7:30 with Joywave opening.

That'll do it. I'll leave you with this really freaky video from Yeasayer. This is "I Am Chemistry":
