Some awesome Richmond, VA bands I've seen recently!!!

CAVES, CAVERNS play great instrumental, surf-kraut-rock-freak-out jams...and they use a Theremin too! I got their CD at the show and it is REALLY good!!! To get one you can contact these boys here.

DIAMOND BLACK HEARTED BOY is a very powerful and unique performer...no matter if he's performing alone, along with his laptop, or with backing members it's always a tense yet entertaining affair. He has an amazing new 14 track EP available for FREE download at his myspace profile. 

SPIRITFINGERS are a brand new band who's first show literally blew my mind. I was a fan of a couple of the members' previous bands RAM ROD and BUNNY RABBITS, so I had a feeling they would be great...but this stuff is in it's own realm of badassness. Sadly there are no tunes on their myspace profile yet, but keep your ears open...you won't regret it. 

HEAD MOLT just moved to Richmond from Hampton, VA and upon arriving added Travis of ACROSS on vocals. For those who haven't witnessed the beast that is a Head Molt performance, one can expect brutal effects-pedal manipulations, pounding drum triggers, mutant vocals, spasms, bleeding, scraping, etc. Great fun!!! They have tons of tapes available HERE and, local label, FLISH RECORDS just released a split 7 inch with HEAD MOLT and LAZY MAGNET, jump on this one because there are only 200 copies pressed!!!
