So this is actually my last full week living in DC, and it might also be my last week to do a "This Week In DC" post. Not completely sure about the second part of that statement yet, though.... we'll see. Anyway, here's what's going on in the DC area this week. If I've missed anything, please feel free to drop a note in the comments and I'll try to add. As always, my picks are in bold . Sunday, 9/20 9:30 [...]
Just a really great week of music in the DC-area coming up. If you're a music fan, there's really no excuse for not getting out to see some bands this week. As usual, my picks in bold . Sunday, 9/13 9:30 Club: ZZ Top Birchmere: The Proclaimers, Laura Tsaggaris Black Cat (back): Hanne Hukkelberg, Grendel Babies DC9: God's Pottery, Jared Stern Iota: Honor By August, No Second Troy Jammin' Java: Sarah Bettens, Jackie Stern Red and Black: Peelander-Z, Detox Retox, Seamonsters [...]
Lots going on this week, but very little that really excites me. I've bolded the few shows and/or bands that interest me enough to consider seeing. Oh, and if you're a Pash fan, I recommend that you get out to the Black Cat tomorrow night. I've heard that their lead singer, Meredith - who was also in Title Tracks until recently - is moving (or has moved) to Austin, so you're probably not gonna be seeing them again anytime soon. Sunday 9/6 Birchmere: Maysa [...]
As usual, my picks in bold . Sunday, 8/30 Birchmere: Teena Marie [sold out] Black Cat (back): The Scare, Cold and Come of Age, Black Shade DC9: The Nine Red and Black: Elaine Lachica, In Heaven and You Velvet Lounge: Anthony Pirog's Sextet, Franck Vigroux Monday, 8/31 9:30 Club: Rock the Bells Birchmere: Teena Marie [sold out] Black Cat (back) Ear Pwr, Toro Y Moi Galaxy Hut: Title Tracks, More Humans Merriweather Post: Killers, [...]
Hey gang... so I went a few weeks without doing a "This Week in DC" post again. Sorry about that. The whole moving-to-Chicago thing has been keeping me pretty busy of late, as has a new project that I'm working on that I'll be talking about here pretty soon. But without any further ado, here are the more interesting shows going on around DC this week. My picks are in bold . Oh, and if I missed anything that you think should be added, drop a comment! [...]

I'm a couple of days late on this week's edition... sorry about that. Was out of town over the weekend and didn't get back until last night. Anyway, here are the more interesting shows going on in DC this week. My picks are in bold . Tuesday, 7/14 Black Cat (back): Velvet, The Public Good 9:30 Club: The Dead Weather [sold out] DC9: Abe Vigoda, Talbot Tagora Red and Black: Billy Woodward & The Senders, Paper Ship Armada, Mikey C [...]
Here are the more interesting shows (to me, at least) going on in the DC-area this week. My picks are in bold . Damn good week at the Black Cat, btw. I plan to be there quite a bit over the next few days. Sunday, 6/21 9:30 Club: Camera Obscura, Anni Rossi Nissan Pavilion: Aerosmith, ZZ Top Rock and Roll Hotel: Phoenix, Amazing Baby Monday, 6/22 [...]
Hey gang, sorry for the relative silence here on the blog the last few days. I was up in New York to see The Posies and some of the Northside Festival in Brooklyn, as well as to partake in the annual Big Apple Barbeque (Salt Lick FTW!). Anyway, it's another good week for music here in the DC-area. Not sure how many shows I'm gonna make it out to, as a friend is in town from England, but you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll be at Iota for The [...]
Excellent week of music coming up. My picks in bold . Not sure how many of these shows I'm gonna make it to, though, considering (a) the amount of work I have this week, (b) the remaining Stanley Cup finals game(s), and (c) the fact that I have jury duty this week (ugh). Also, I think I'm seeing The Figgs in Philly on Friday, and The Posies in New York on Saturday. I think. Don't let my excuses keep you from going to the shows, though. [...]
Yeah, so I'm a little late with this week's installment... sorry. I've basically carved this entire week out for the Stanley Cup Finals (Go Wings!), and haven't been paying attention to shows as much as usual. There are a few really solid shows this week, though, so unless you're glued to your couch watching hockey like me, get out and see some live music. My picks in bold . Tuesday, 6/2 Black Cat (back): The Bickersons, The Basement Apartments Red/Black: Lonely Are [...]
Aside from three great shows tonight, there's only a couple of standout shows to me this week. Which is kinda fine... being the first official week of summer and all, maybe we should all be outside drinking somewhere instead of stuck in a club. My picks in bold . Monday 5/25 9:30 Club: The National [sold out] Black Cat (back): Mobius Strip, The Jet Age, The Wax Standard Iota: The Beanstalk Library, In Technicolor, Typefighter [...]
Yeah, so I'm a bit late on this week's edition. Sorry. I spent the first part of the week in NYC, then had our debut Babystew Presents show on Tuesday night (thanks to everyone for coming out!), and then spent most of yesterday sleeping off all of the Schlitz that I'd had the night before. But now I'm back and awake and no longer tempted to vomit out the entire contents of my torso, and it's time to focus on the music/entertainment options in the DC-area for the Memorial Day weekend - if, of [...]
