Folks, I regret to inform you that Cold Cave, scheduled to play at the Tea Bazaar tomorrow (Friday) night, have — somewhat unsurprisingly, given the circumstances — had to postpone their appearance.   The good news is that apparently Nite Jewel, the other out-of-town band, are still hoping to play, so we’ll do our best to keep you updated as to where and when that will end up happening. I’m hoping the third band on the bill, the Cville-based Bear War, will end up playing as well — they’re a really great act, and one I was looking forward to seeing again.

Also, I’m told the DJ set by Lunatic and the Rascal (aka Thomas Dean and Adam Smith Play Records) are still on for their gig at The Box, which I think was at least partly intended to function as an after-party for the Cold Cave gig; anyhow, Adam and Thomas will still be spinning, which is great news for all of us within safe walking distance of The Box.

FYI, the sold-out Iron&Wine show at the Paramount had been postponed as well; they’re moving the show to a later date, currently TBA.  I was initially worried about those two events conflicting — Iron&Wine is the rare live act that is actually capable of providing an intimate performance in a space as grandiose as the Paramount — but when I found out how expensive the tickets were, and saw how quickly they sold out, I decided to focus my personal interest / journalistic attention on the Cold Cave gig instead. But I’ll definitely keep y’all posted with news about that rescheduling, as I receive it.

Over the next few days, the Nailgun staff intend to attempt to remain a comprehensive source of information on closings, cancellations, postponements, etc.  The last time this happened, I think Jacob ended up making an adventurous trek around Charlottesville, texting me with a list of places that were open, so that I could keep updating the site with that info — we hope to do something similar or better this time around, so keep your eyes peeled.  On that same note, if you have a hot tip on some snow-related news, please do drop us a line — you can either leave a note in the comments, or e-mail me at nailgunmedia@gmail.com.  Until then, stay warm and enjoy the snow!
