Zac and company played at Friday Cheers back in 2009 and they put on an incredible show. You might want to get in on this one.

In random news today, the Hat Factory will be changing its name to Epic Theatre. According to HF’s Facebook page, the change of name is to “reflect the dynamic changes that have taken place over the last few months.”
As I’ve vented about before, I’ve given up all hope on this venue actually hosting good live music. The only things they have scheduled is some punk band in February, Lucero in April (this actually looks good), a Cornhole Tournament and a bunch of dance party nights. It seems Hat Factory (excuse, me “Epic”) is more in favor of making it a club (as evidenced by this interior designer’s work).
If this is the direction they want to go in, that’s fine. It just seems like they’re making it like every other club in that area.
The guys in the Cinnamon Band have a new project out called “12×12,” a free digital release of a different cover song each month this year. The first release is a cover of “The Hammond Song” by The Roches.
They’re also going to be releasing a 7″ of two original songs (Black Love and Tough Love) in April as well as working hard on a full length.
And they just confirmed a show on Feb. 18 at Strange Matter with Snowy Owls and Airstrip.
Cinnamon Band – The Hammond Song
The guys in The Lost Satellites have just released their second album, “The War Will End” and I have to say it’s a pretty damn impressive album.
This Southern rock Americana band does a real good job of bringing a party together on this collection of songs and it’s been on constant repeat since i first started listening. Check out the music below.
Lost Satellites – I Do Again
Lost Satellites – You Turn Me On
Lost Satellites – Shine
Lost Satellites – Blossom in Bloom
Chances are, you’ve seen Goldrush (They have a new Facebook page. Like it!) rock out around town and have loved every moment. Now, the rest of the world will take notice. The band recently announced that they will be performing with hundreds of other up and coming bands at the South by Southwest Festival in Austin during March 13-18. I believe a roadtrip to Texas is in order.
Congrats go out to Prabir, Treesa, Matt and Gregg. You guys deserve it.
Goldrush – God
And “Tonight I’m Not Going Anywhere,” a new song I’m REALLY enjoying.
I am beyond excited that Richmond pop rockers Hot Lava have returned from their breakup/hiatus to bring more fun music to the masses.
The following is a brand new video called “Goat’s Eyes” from the band’s upcoming new album “Ice Land” coming out some time in 2012.
Have you listened to Future Islands? You haven’t? Stop reading this and click play on the track below to get a sense of just how incredible the group’s music is. I just started listening to last year’s “On the Water” and it’s definitely something to take in and appreciate. The music is ambient yet an upbeat dance party at the same time. I’m just wishing I had heard this album sooner.
Future Islands are playing at the Camel tonight with Ed Schrader’s Music Beat and Canary Oh Canary.
Future Islands – Balance
Just announced: St. Vincent will perform at the National on May 24. Get excited for this one.
St. Vincent – The Strangers
St. Vincent – Now Now
Lamb of God is set to release its new album “Resolution” on Jan. 24, but first the group has a sold-out show at the National to play on Sunday.
