Activate! presents:
The countdown to the last Activate! begins tonight at 5pm. Tonight’s show will be classic Activate! – music from bands playing live in Richmond, including benefits for RACC and Reforestation as well as the return of Toxic Moxie (pictured). Next week, I will be joined by special guests Mike and Lewis from I Live With Zombies, the very first band I befriended in Richmond!
