Time to keep this Presidential birthday party week going strong into the weekend! Do our fore fathers a favor and head out there to catch some great shows. For most it was a short, four-day week thanks in part to the celebration of President's Day on Monday. It only fitting then that the weekend is full of shows from artists and acts who are native to our nation's capital. The music scene—and really the entire entertainment environment—in Washington, DC is one that has a lengthy history, but in the past decade or so, has been relatively quiet. [...]
I don’t think I’m alone in saying that seeing Desaparecidos in Orlando re awoke something in my musical heart that has, for a while now, seemed burned out. With a not so sudden influx of mellow electronic and “indie” bands that have clogged the filters of good and bad music, I’ve got to say, I [...]

There was a time when Desaparecidos' moniker went from being a politically-charged and perfectly memorable name for a socially-conscience post-punk band, to actually applying to the group itself. How ironic it was then, that the angry unit of synth-mashing upstarts were forced to disappear in the name of the progress and apparently greater good of lead singer Conor Oberst's increasingly successful gig warbling the ex-girlfriends of a generation to sleep as Bright Eyes. The timing was most unfortunate as things had just started to really take off for the band of Midwesterners: In my town, at [...]

photos by Guy Eppel Desaparecidos' Conor Oberst @ The Stone Pony, 2/15/2013 Conor Oberst pulled his old band Desaparecidos out of retirement and their first East Coast tour in 10 years kicked off at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park on Friday night (2/15). Never without a good anecdote, Oberst reflected upon the time Desaparecidos played the nearby Convention Center opening for Jimmy Eat World. "It was one of the word fucking shows of all [...]
