Activate! on WRIR 4-14-22 (filling in for Mike Rutz)

April 15, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Mike Rutz’s show Activate! on WRIR is known around the station as one of the most challenging shows to do, especially since you’re sitting in for Mike who does it every week.  He’s used to it.  It’s an audio music calendar featuring music from bands and artists who will be playing in the Richmond area over the next week.  So you have to do a lot of research for it in a short amount of time and also find music to play which should represent the artists appropriately.  Do you play the new single?  Or do you play an old favorite?  What do you play by local artists who listeners may or may not know?  It’s fun, but you want to do it justice.

I sat in for Mike on Thursday and even though it’s a relief to find plenty of music to play and plenty of live dates to promote, there is always so much more that you could play and highlight.  And that speaks highly of Richmond’s live music scene which is pretty cool.

PRESS RELEASE:
“Synanthrope”
“Synanthrope” is the latest THUNDERCHIEF album to be released straight to Digital on Friday, December 3, 2021 (The Last 2021 Bandcamp Friday!).
Physical media release is planned for early 2022.

The band took a different direction in writing “Synanthrope”, almost as a direct response to artists who feel they have to belong in a particular “box” when writing/releasing music. By no means does this mean it’s better, it’s just a more relaxed approach to staying in the now.

WRIR River City Limits 10-4-19

October 8, 2019 / / 0 Comments

Saturday’s River Limits featured new music from RVA artists such as Sammi Lanzetta, Billy Neptune, Sincerely, Iris and a track from the forthcoming Municipal Waste EP “The Last Rager”. Municipal Waste and their old-school thrash metal attack (think of bands such as Anthrax, Exodus, Overkill, Death Angel and early Metallica) will hit The Broadberry on Wednesday Oct. 9 with Naplam Death, Sick Of It All and Take Offense. Check out the video for the EP’s first single “Wave of Death” at their label, Nuclear Blast’s website. Image credit/artwork by Brian Crabaugh.

Also featured was a track from Richmond metal band Appalling called “Mutilator At Large” from their record “Inverted Realm” which was released earlier this year. Appalling will be joining me in-studio for an upcoming StudioB episode and will be playing some of the new stuff they’ve been working on.

The full playlist from Saturday’s River City Limits is available on WRIR’s website here:

River City Limits 10-04-19 with Jay Smack: “Neeew?! Muuuusic?! Pssh.. I don’t like the sound of that!” And free Municipal Waste tickets.

Check out the playlist below for most of the artists featured on Saturday night’s broadcast. Actual songs played on WRIR Saturday night are included where available, otherwise I substituted another song from the artist. Artists not on Spotify are not included in the playlist.
