The Art-O-Matic Thread
I predict Exit Clov will play, they will be spectacular (or is it amazing?) until about the fifth song, at which point they will jump the shark, and begin to suck.
BigYawn is promoting the December 3rd Artomatic show.
"BigYawn returns to promoting shows in DC on December 3rd, when we take over Art-O-Matic. Well, we are only taking over the music stage, but we tend to be a little dramatic. We are extremely excited about this night of amazing DC bands. Performing on the 3rd will be French Toast, (the sounds of) Kaleidoscope, Exit Clov, The Chance and at least one more surprise band. Also, spinning all night will be DJ Wren from the 9:30 Club. What's great is that there will be a bar serving beer and wine. What's even better is that admission is completely free! Plus you can peruse the grounds of the former National Children's Museum and check out hundreds of DC artists' work. It's a win-win situation. More details to come…"

BTW, the space this year really is awesome. And the performance stage is in a very elementary school-ish auditorium. Pretty cool.

I'm heading over for opening night as part of Meet In DC group! I know 20 people signed up saying they're willing to go!
Originally posted by redsock:Wow, scratch that. Apparently only minutes after confirming the gig, Thee Snuff decided to call it quits. Go figure…

Originally posted by Jaguär:Oh come on… you can see bands play at club whenever you want. But to see established bands break down and play more unsual venues, that's something. Plus, we're not gonna let the sound suffer. Besides, what it the 930 club but a large auditorium?
