Tim Be Told plays Gravity Lounge
Last year’s Battle of the Bands winner Tim Be Told has continued to dominate the local music scene, opening for OK Go at last semester’s Springfest and earning positive notices from local music sages (such as Brad Savage of 106.1 The Corner) as the next big band out of Charlottesville. Sunday night, they hit the stage at Gravity Lounge (one of the last intimate, local music venues) with Northern Ireland’s Oppenheimer. It’s indie-pop-electronica meets pop-soul-gospel! Show starts at 8 p.m., with an $8 cover charge.

Oasis singer assaulted at recent gig
Last Sunday, Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher was bum-rushed at Toronto’s Virgin Festival. According to reports, 47-year-old Daniel Sullivan entered the stage from the rear entrance and ran up to shove Mr. Gallagher forward. Noel fell on his monitor speakers, bruising his ribs and hip in the process. Though the band managed to finish their set, they were forced to cancel their next gig while Noel’s injuries were diagnosed and treated. While Sullivan has been charged with assault by Toronto police, he has since been released and is due in court on Oct. 24.
