The Wading Girl, a pretty nifty rock band from Roanoke, is playing in Richmond Thursday night. If you have time, you should go see them. I'd certainly like to. TWG is yet another Virginia band I'm hoping will come and play Norfolk or Virginia Beach sometime soon. They'd make a fine double bill with Norfolk's own Little Trooper -- if anybody would like to take the ball and run with it.
For a sample of the band's tuneful goodness, visit its MySpace page here. You can even download the excellent tune "Miriam." Or go here to watch live videos from The Roanoke Times' very cool video blog called MusicCast. The newspaper invites local bands to play live in the studio and videos of their performances are posted. The Wading Girl performed three tunes: "Ohio," "Water Into Whiskey" and "I Miss It." If you only have time to watch one video, go straight to "I Miss It." The band works up a nice head of steam toward the end of the tune.
Thursday's Alley Katz show is all-ages. Admission is a paltry $5.
Looking ahead a bit, I'm thrilled, THRILLED to report that it looks like the aforementioned Little Trooper is going to play with Roanoke's wonderful Sad Cobras on Aug. 22 at The Boot. Great double bill. Wahoo!
