Yo Bloggers! I hope we’re all having a rockin’ weekend! Although I was unable to attend, I heard the T-Pain concert last night was out of control, which is awesome.
So it’s Saturday in Harrisonburg and there are so many things going on.
Valkyrie is playing tonight at the Blue Nile in downtown Harrisonburg. The show will start at 9:30pm and the cover is $3. The band describes their sound as “classic doom, hard rock, and heavy metal from the mystical climes of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia,” so if that’s your jam you should definitely come out and see them throw a kick ass show.

The Worx will be playing again at Rocktown Bar & Grill. That’s right, if you missed them last night, Friday, you can come out tonight, Saturday, April 19, and see them again. I don’t know what kind of music this band has, but it must be an amazing show because Rocktown had to turn people away last time because of the crowd size. Plus, Rocktown always has really mind-blowing shows. I saw The Monster Band there about two weeks ago and it was a phenomenal show. The lead vocalist was a female vocalist with a voice to die for. Hopefully we can get them back here for another show! So, as stated on The Worx web site, “Don’t settle for less than the best. Get The Worx!”

Things are not just “happenin” in Harrisonburg.
We have The Sometime Favorites playing at Virginia Tech ZTA in Blacksburg, VA. I was first introduced to this band a couple of months ago and have become a big fan. Actually, scratch that, I have become a huge fan. Their sound is a combination of indie, pop, and rock and what a sound it is. Definitely check out their myspace to get a preview before the show. I guarantee you, if you can attend this show you won’t want to miss it. The show starts at 9pm. If you can’t come to this show, we’ve got the inside scoop that they’ll be in Harrisonburg on Friday, May 16, 2008, playing at, yup, you guessed it, Rocktown!

Friends to the Valley Vibe, Mozely Rose, will be playing at Dice’s Nightclub in Staunton, VA tonight at 9:30pm. This Richmond, VA based band has been spreading their music nationally since 2004. Having recently released their second album in 2007, The New Brew, they are becoming world renowned having their music played in places like Italy, Germany, France, and all across the United States. Pretty cool, guys! As stated on their myspace account, “the listener will find the album samples country, funk, and blues drenched with outlaw-rock finesse.” Definitely come out to rock with these guys. They’ll show you a good time!
