The Broadberry

This show was a lot of fun! It was my first time at this venue, and it was very nice. Troy was energetic and clearly had a lot of fun on stage. I'd love to see another one of his shows in the future.

Our second Ratboys show in Richmond and they were beautiful. I apologize for the lack of names but the bass player made you feel his energy. Julia is so kind. Her support of Florry(opening act) and recognition of the state of our “government “ just made you like the band more. It’s early in the year but Singing to an Empty Chair will make everyone’s list of best if 2026.

Both bands were excellent. We had not heard of the opening band, Deeper before but wow, we were blown away. NOL was amazing. Their energy was palpable and they were funny and engaging with the fans. The crowd was friendly and everyone there seemed to be having a blast. Best show we have seen in years! The picture is of Deeper but we took a ton of photos/ videos of NOL on my husband's phone. What a memorable night! 💗

Steely Dead absolutely crushed it for me and my son on March 16, 2025, at The Broadberry! Several standout moments showed how they took it to another level. "One More Saturday Night was upbeat, clean, and rocking; it’s like they polished up the Dead’s raw energy with a Steely Dan sheen, and it can catches you off guard in the best way. Dave Abear’s guitar and Chris Sheldon’s drums probably kicked into overdrive there, with Dylan Teifer’s keys adding that extra punch we loved. "Feel Like a Stranger" is a highlight track with Teifer’s stage presence—he’s got a knack for locking into the crowd’s vibe, and that song’s funky, wandering groove is prime territory for his leads to shine. "Dear Prudence" is another highlight. Taking the Beatles through a Dead-meets-Dan lens is no small feat, and the venue’s sound system made those layers pop. Then "Dirty Work" as the encore? That’s a bold, soulful closer—Teifer’s keys gave it a fresh spin while the band brought the house down. We went in expecting fun but got blown away—I love that. It’s remarkable how they exceeded our expectations, from the musicianship to the song choices.

This was a special show. Rick absolutely killed it song after song with by his unique guitar style. The whole band just slayed. Even had a Mexican wrestler vignette. Got fried chicken thrown at me.

Fantastic show. Played some new stuff from Duck and some older gems. Fun context behind the Duck album concept and stories surrounding individual songs. Minnemann went off on a roughly 7-min sick drum solo. Very thankful they made it to Richmond.

Hands down, one of the best shows I've seen, seemed somewhat short though. The energy was unreal and the crowd was lively. Hope to see them again soon! Just wish they would have played All Gas and Vascular Demi Goth!

This was a great show despite some sound issues. Pallbearer is a wonderful, melodic doom band and is a great live act. At times, however, the vocals seemed to cut in and out or be faint. Having seen them and shows at this venue before, I am not sure what the issue was this time. Yob performed very well, but again, the sound was an issue. There were a lot of honking low-mids that weren't pleasant. This could be the lack of robust sound treatment at the venue.

AWESOME!!! widowspeak (opening band) was so good!! but duster was even better!! stayed after and clay signed my vinyl 🫶 wish more songs were played from there self titled album duster , but just my opinion bc it’s my fav!

What a great show! Starting with Colby Acuff and ending with 49 Winchester. Great sound and great performances by both bands. It was a sold out show and it got crowded as people pushed forward. Other than that, a great night.

Missed the first few minutes because I was outside taking a fat j to the dome, which is the only acceptable excuse for missing even a moment of Sanguisugabogg’s flawless performance. Dudes rock. Big hell yeah energy with a healthy balance of guitar DUNNDUNNNNS and drum PINGDINGS. It do be smellin crazy in that pit tho wheewwwww

Overall the show was good. I didn’t care for Itchy Kitty, and Prism B***h honestly stole the show! BTS went on what I would consider late and played a good long set, but I remember seeing them play years ago with a second guitarist and the truth is that the band should not play without one. There were parts of songs left out because one guitar cannot cover multiple parts, which was disappointing. We left before the end of the show because it was so late (after 11:30- yes I know I’m lame but I had worked a very physical job two days in a row and was in misery standing for the show). IMHO the show should have started at 7 or 7:30.

Immolation crushed this show! They are death metal royalty and consistently show why they deserve to be at the forefront for 30+ years. Imperial Triumphant doesn't grab me musically, but the jazz, horns, weird costumes, champagne, etc is very cool. Mortiferum is decent, but not adding a lot of originality to the genre Voarm is the local band that opened and they are earthly horror. Purposely droning and horrific, they straddle black metal, but kind of stretched out. See them if you can!

Amazing show. From beginning to end. The acoustic set before the doors open was an awesome experience. Thank you to all the bands that night. Couldn’t think of a better way to close out the year

I didn’t super love Empath, the first opening band, but it was still a good time. Touché Amoré and La Dispute killed it, absolutely amazing. First time seeing Touché and third seeing La Dispute, absolutely hope to see them together again. The Broadberry is a cool venue but the weird pole in front of the stage is a bit annoying, makes for bad pictures. The bathrooms aren’t gendered, which I think is dope af. And the venue had partnered La Dispute with a food drive charity, which is also dope af.

The show was awesome and amazing! I just wish that the venue had told us in advance that the Q&A was changed to after the show. I had to drive 1 1/2 to get there, and I would not have rushed! But Gawvi and KB were amazing as always! Letting God use them on this platform takes dedication and sacrifice a d we as fans appreciate it!

Light show was incredible. The live drums added incredible power to perturbators awesome sets. I’d have expected more of an dancing edm crowd but it was a bunch of headbangers, there was even a pit. Had to be on guard to not get pushed around. Still had a blast but would have been 5 stars without the juvenile pit and rowdiness.

Honestly one of the best concerts I've seen as of late. The band was so tight. They played so we'll together. Jay Farrar is iconic and has the right musicians to amplify his fantastic catalog of songs. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well played

Phenomenal! Waterparks brings the energy to every one of their shows like it's the first one on the tour. Well done boys! All the acts were top notch and I acquired a lot more music to my library after this show! Thank you, 48 year old dad still rockin!

The venue is beautiful and much bigger than expected and She Wants Revenge was everything I was hoping for and more. The opening band, who was performing for the last time was fabulous and very nice local guys. I got to meet both bands and got both merchandise, signatures and pictures. It was the greatest birthday gift I’ve ever given myself ❤️
