Come out tomorrow evening as we drop a tea bag of talent in boiling hot Relative. We have plenty of folks on hand to teach people about HIV and how to go about getting tested. This issue is very important to a lot of people closely associated with RTR and […]

We here at Relative Theory and The Boot have done a great deal in celebration of this community and Hampton Roads, but alas it seems we’ve forgotten to really honor this great nation we live in. So not to be mistaken for Anti-Federalists, we’re opening The Boot Monday July 2nd (that’s right, […]

Tomorrow Night (Wednesday), we have one of those shows happening where in two years we’ll all be standing around amazed that when we landed it it wasn’t that big of a deal. Chris Garneau plays airy nighttime piano songs that catch you breathing slowly and soaking in the beautiful silent Earth, with a falsetto […]

Pictured is Klaxar, twentysomething space warlock from the past. He will be hosting a strange, vulgar, and beautiful comedy show at the Boot tonight at 10. Expect sketches, interactive business with the audience, and a special presentation of “Zardoz” starring Sean Connery, complete with live comedic commentary a la Mystery Science Theatre 3000. […]

throwback Beatles or maybe Tommy James, Locksley is one of Relative’s favorites and I will say their live show is an energetic buzz. Not to mention their charming personalities will get you going like nobody’s business. Little known fact - the […]

This will be the second show for Richmond’s Fight the Big Bull at the Boot. They played two amazing sets (mp3 below) for us back on May 11th. For those of you who missed the show or are unaware of who FtBB are their bio is hilarious and spot on. “An amalgamation of saxophones, trombones, […]

A friend of mine reminded me about La Blogothèque, I hadn’t been to their site since the Grizzly Bear’s The Knife video.

This idea is apparently really happening. What’s more it’s going to be awesome. For one thing its about Spider-Man, and they’re somehow going to have to figure out how to depict webslinging in the confines of the stage musical. There is probably nobody better to do this than director Julie Taymor, who […]
