Party down. VCU is celebrating its 40th anniversary in Monroe Park on Oct. 25 and they want you to help pick out the bands for the party. Go here to check out a list of local bands and cast your vote. You can also add a band name if you like. Voting is open until Sept. 5.
While I have to give locals Prabir & The Substitutes a thumbs up (see post below) I'm of the opinion that salsa music always works well at parties. So why not rely on Richmond's greatest ever salsa band, Bio Ritmo? Yep, that band is still doing its thing, and they have a new album coming out this fall, with an album release party in New York.
The winners of the VCU party band search will get some sort of cash prize, and probably a few free cartons of cigarettes from "friends" at Philip Morris.
By the way, here's an article about the recent Philip Morris controversy (for those who don't know, the giant tobacco death merchant funds medical research at VCU which some locals and professors have challenged as unethical and risking scientific integrity) check out this AP story.
