With all the hubbub about some recently proposed legislation, a lot of Richmond is in a tizzy about what the General Assembly will put forth next. If the legislature is getting you down, don’t fret. Here are 5 Things to raise your spirits and get you excited about the coming weekend.

Via WWKD: Thu., Jan. 20 10PM FREE No BS Brass band at Balliceaux- They always fill the house with people and sound, so plan to get sweatier as the evening progresses. In all likelihood, the windows will have to be opened, no matter how cold a night it …
TONIGHT at the Camel: Your favorite brass scene kids are throwing down for the beginning of the spring semester this Friday. They will be joined by Rattlemouth playing an opening set. $7, 9pm. Rumor has it the new album is out on vinyl and some of the …
Balliceaux is the place to be this week. On Wednesday night, Ombak makes their return, this time with JC Kuhl. They’ll be playing tunes from their new album, and it’s guaranteed to get a little crazy. Fresh off their performances this past weekend at the Richmond Folk Festival (including their kazoo march in the family area), No BS! Brass plays a free show at Balliceaux. Hear the sounds of their new album and old favorites. For the main event, the New York-based Jason Ajemian & The HighLife return to Richmond on Friday. We hosted them back in April, and it’s bound to be a hit again this time.
(Bonus fourth reason: did I see they serve Sunday brunch now?)
With every album, every tour, every sold out show, and every Thursday night rehearsal, No BS! Brass is finding their sound, and they might be the closest they’ve ever been on that search.
From Richmond to New York and back, Lucas Fritz enjoyed performances from four very different bands over the course of a weekend.
Richmond’s first and only benefit for the oil spill disaster is Gulf Give RVA, and it’s happening Thursday. I don’t have to tell you why it’s a great cause and why you should go, but it just so happens that there’s added incentive: a night of great music including a set by No BS! Brass.
No BS! will headline the benefit concert, which will also feature performances by Jackass Flats, David Shultz and the Skyline, and more. Local businesses and individuals have donated items for raffle and for a silent auction. And it’s at Legend Brewing Company so (duh) good beer will be aplenty. A $10 suggested donation gets you in, and all proceeds benefit the Gulf Restoration Network.
With good intentions and high hopes, Balliceaux begins charging covers for live music, putting their free-shows-only policy on hold.
In the second and final part of this southern saga, No BS! takes Birmingham, Alabama, by storm before heading home to their beloved Richmond.
