I'm still a little fuzzy on the details, but it looks like the Los Angeles-based guitar-pop band Everybody Else is going to play the 40th Street Stage in Norfolk on June 14. That's a bit strange, since 40th Street Stage hasn't booked that many bands (hell, I don't know that it's booked any bands), but I've now seen the show listed in two places: Pollstar.com and Everybody Else's own MySpace page. Opening acts are We Shot the Moon and Waves on Waves.
Everybody Else is a power-pop group in the mold of Cheap Trick, or -- on some songs from their self-titled debut from last year -- a slightly more raspy Raspberries. They took their name from the Kinks song "I'm Not Like Everybody Else," so that tells you a little about where they're coming from.
While the group is based in L.A., there are some interesting Virginia connections. Drummer Mikey McCormack was previously in The Waking Hours, a band that moved from Richmond to Los Angeles almost a decade ago. While McCormack didn't play on The Waking Hours' debut disc released in 1999, but some sources peg him as a Virginian, too.
