My eldest kid lives in an apartment Richmond with the lead singer of Receiver, who bill themselves thusly: "Receiver formed from the ashes of Charlottesville band Natalie Blue, as two members - vocalist and guitarist Jamie Vandenheede and bassist Liam Keough - moved to Richmond. Shortly after rounding out their lineup with guitarist Leo Pecci and drummer Sasha Kennedy, Receiver began a grueling 2025 that featured 25+ shows, an EP and an infomercial! Their sound is informed by the hypnotic rhythms and angular guitar lines of late 70s and early 80s post-punk and the guitar-pop sensibilities of the 80s college rock circuit."
Here's their first single, "Souvenir":
And this link has a couple of snippets from the release party at The Camel, a cool little dive bar/music venue on Broad Street.
The kids are alright.
I lived with 3/4 of a band in Arlington after graduating. It was fun, mostly. Once they asked me for my opinion when they had a disagreement. I refrained from choosing sides, as I didn't want to risk my $150/month closet bedroom.

ReplyDeleteAnthony Scaramucci's son paid $16.5 million for a Pokemon card owned by Logan Paul. I would say this is proof that our society is vapid and decadent but the sale includes the $75,000 diamond necklace on which it currently hangs so I guess it all makes sense.
ReplyDeletePour one out for Col. Bill Kilgore, Tom Hagen, Mac Sledge and Bull Meechum. Man was a hell of an actor.
