Shining an admittedly small spotlight on our rich Charlottesville live music scene.
Wreckfest Sunday.
There were pretty puddles at IX reflecting soft light — a pink and baby blue sky. The air was washed and ready for the day. The bands were ready. Wreckfest Sunday morning came down.
Wreckfest Saturday Afternoon.
If Saturday night at the first ever Wreckfest was a crescendo of Charlottesville sound and fury, this is how it was built. Saturday afternoon.
Wreckfest Saturday Nite.
2 days, 17 bands, 3 stages and an insane number of moving parts came together to make one f@cking great weekend of music.
Hurry in and watch the first cut!
Reasons to Wreck: Lord Nelson.
Cville, If Lord Nelson were the only band playing Wreckfest on the weekend of September 20-21, you should buy tickets and plan accordingly. (Of course they aren’t the only band playing Wreckfest but we’re just making a point.)
Reasons to Wreck: Üga Büga.
Üga Büga reminded everyone at the Southern that rock and roll, real rock and roll, isn’t dead, it’s just been loading up on ammo.
Wreckfest!
This September, Charlottesville is getting its own music festival called Wreckfest! Disco Risque horn section and festival organizer Ryan Calonder gives us the skinny in this ridiculously informative CSC Vlog.
