Sound Check! Superchunk, Night Idea, Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, White Beast & More!
Got a couple icons of the American alternative scene in town, which pairs well with some local killers in the same realm. Some chill, some not, some right in the middle.
Got a show coming up? New single? Simply want someone to talk music? I am your guy at

Night Idea, Painted World, Gaffer, Jr.
Saturday, September 6th
The Camel
Night Idea is the dreamiest outfit in town. This group has perfected surreal scenes of blue and yellow that swirl like birds. Since 2014, they’ve been putting out albums that feel rich and full—like woven tapestries of light, sound, and darkness. I normally don’t gravitate toward music with minimal singing, but they use it so precisely that it becomes its own treasure to uncover.
Painted World is like 10,000 Greeks, all seasoned soldiers on the battlefields of Richmond rock. Each member has a résumé long enough to wallpaper The Camel, so you won’t be disappointed. The band debuted in January, and I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews about their powerful performance.
Gaffer is a young and sharp trio making noise in the punk and indie spheres. They keep things minimal but in a very calculated and smart way. They’ve got one demo out that’s an absolute joy to listen to, and I’m excited to see what comes next from them.
Jr. is a new-to-me group, an indie-pop duo crafting calming, serene sounds like rolling electronic waves. Listening to Jr. feels like floating in a sweet deprivation tank, carried on all the chill tones.
